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. http://www.pghmotorcycles.com/usedmake.php?Make=Honda 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 |

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.

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. |

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? |

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.) Last edited by ricky_t; 12-09-08 at 12:13 PM. |
