Hey everyone, I don't have a bike yet but after a long and frustrating search for a ninja 650r, I came across the yamaha fz6 at a local dealer. It's an 06 and has about 11,000 miles on it. I know it's a lot of miles for the year but the price drop was from 5500 to 4200. I am uncertain though, it seems like a lot of you found bikes for much less with much fewer miles on them. Is this because I'm looking at a dealer? And even still, is this priced way too high? I'm sort of sold on the bike though, and if it makes a difference, in my area the market for used bikes on craigslist and such is horrendous and prices are only going up as temps go up and spring creeps closer. I am gonna put down 1500 and use the rest of tax money for gear and for an MSF coarse. After that though I'm only financing for 2700, doesn't seem like a bad deal to me for such a capable and awesome looking bike. I'm determined to get something this season and I really really like this bike. Is it worth trying to talk down the price? Anyway, glad to be here and excited to be a part of the community! So excited to start riding and I think my wife is getting sick of me talking about it nonstop, hopefully I can negate some of this by talking to you fellows! haha
