Well, I've finally pulled the trigger.
On Thursday and Friday, I mentally revisited my desire to purchase an FZ6 motorcycle. I discovered that Yamaha is offering 0% for 6 months. I decided that this, plus the desire to dump remaining 2007's as quickly as possible, would put me in the best possible position. So on Friday, I called a number of local area dealerships to ask about availability and pricing.
Of the 7 places I called, 4 had 2007s left, and 3 gave me prices. The first quoted me $6650 OTD, and he was a prick. The second quoted me $6450 OTD. Now, I know another SBN member who got $6250 from another dealership, so I called and got the same price! Seems as of about a week ago, that dealer had two 07s left... one red, one blue. The other fella snagged the red, I snagged the blue!
We'll both be going in this Saturday to pick up our respective bikes. I've suggested that we take side-by-side pics for fun.
And to answer the inevitable question, I'm already going to be doing a handful of mods to the bike. Last night, I placed orders for Motovation Frame & Axel sliders, the FAZR6 Fender Eliminator, SW-Motech risers, Throttlemeister Heavy, and Black Fluted cruise control. I'm looking at Pazzo levers and a second stock seat to cut up/lower, since I'm a tad paranoid of cutting my first stock seat and screwing it up. A windshield is also on the docket, but we'll see how much I really need it, after my first few rides.
I wanted to say thanks to everyone on these boards, for being an awesome resource. And I'm looking forward to becoming a more active contributor, now that I'll have my very own FZ6 to call my own!
