Good Price? - SoFlaSportbikes.com

TenPercenter · 05-02-2006, 08:52 AM

Hello Everyone. I just moved to WPB from Seattle for a job and am looking at a new bike for myself. I used to ride a Ducati 750 SS, it was totalled back in August by a red light runner. I found what I think is a sweet deal and wanted some input.

2005 R6 Raven
26xx Miles
Yoshi (RS-3 i think) slip-on (could be a full system I am not totally sure what to look for)
Tires look alright
Still under warranty
It has been laid-down on the left side causing the normal scratches to the fairings, bar end, clutch lever. The frame sliders saved it from a lot of damage but there is some. I think the total replacement for the parts works out to be about $1000 should I choose to fix em and have them installed, I think I could probably handle it myself

So what do you think? Am I leaving anything important out? I am not really looking for your opinion on the manufacturer but more the price versus what I am getting. Thanks guys, this seems like a great group. I look forward to getting back on two wheels with you all.

Edit: Can't believe I forgot to give the quote. $5600 maybe $5500

If the price is more than $1000 below (Or whatever the cost to fix her up) the KBB value, then it might be a deal.

What's up man, i just moved down here from Oregon in august! Nice change from all the rain isn't it?

Left side=crank case?...make sure there are no crack, etc. R6's hold their value extremely well so that probably is atleast 1000 under kbb. Take so one with you who is knowledgeable on bike mechanics if you can...

Christianity: The belief that some cosmic Jewish zombie can make you live forever if you symbolicly eat his flesh and telepathicly tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a majical tree. Makes perfect sense.
