Is this a good deal for a 2006 cbr600rr?
 

Hi all,

I am looking at upgrading my sv to a cbr and I have seen this bike in a dealer. I have calculated that upgrades for the sv are not worth it and the residual value/installation costs make it more worthwhile buying a SS600.

91 miles. £5300 but the dealer said he could go down to £5150. Tyres not scrubbed in but has been sitting in a garage for nealy 2 years. Apparantly the owner bought the bike new and either didn't enjoy it or have the time.

Is there any harm leaving a bike for a few years?

Opinions please.

Thanks

not a bad deal......... i would give it a service, and it may need a battery

(try and get the shop to do the above)

As what Hovie said, make sure that the dealer takes the oil out and sorts battery. Plus, ensure that they include the running in service (not sure what it is on a Honda) as they would have given that to the original owner but never done it.

i would want it for less than 5k though

The salesman said it will include a service before it leaves and 3 months warranty.

However, it is out of Honda warranty. What do you think would be reasonable for it?

bikes are also time sensitive for a service, try and find out if any major parts need inspecting or replacing as per the 1 or 2 year service. I seriously doubt you will come accross anything but the last thing you want is to find that the service schedule requires the fuel lines to be replaced after 2 years and have one split on you...use it as a bargaining tool as if it hasnt evne had one service yet.... Its missed two.

Food for thought.

nothing is selling really at the moment.. go in low.. 4700 and see what he says.. no offence in saying no..

more importantly what are YOU happy to pay for it, if you ride it off the forcourt having paid 5150 will you feel done, or pleased with yourself?

+1

mr parker says
Original Price £7,299
Independent Dealer £4,835
Private Good £4,445
Private Poor £3,200
Part Exchange £3,590

i know its very low milage (and therefore should be in mint/showroom cond)

but i would like a bit of change out of 5k or a few extras chucked in

(but im a tight ****)

I haven't even test ridden it yet. I will do that when I have some time off. I asked the salesman about credit crunch etc. He said it is only cars that are not selling at the moment, I have a feeling he is lying as bike prices have dropped a lot over the last few months.

I guess offering £4600 cash and bargaining may work. I am in no rush to buy but at the moment I think it maybe in the showroom for a little while (hopefully to my advantage.)

money does not talk... like it used to, they want you to get it with fianace.

wave 4½ grand in front of him....... and play on the fact how long they have had it

i think £4700-4800 would be a fair price?
