Default Buying advice needed

Has anyone ever used these guys http://www.kawasakidirect.co.uk/ i was looking at the 2006 Z1000 cause i saw it in my local showroom in blue and they were asking £7300 but these guys are doing the same bike for £5699

Huge difference and it is apparently official UK.

If anyone can give a positive feedback then i am seriously tempted

thanx

You can find prices not far above that in other dealers too, so sounds about right

The Mrs letting you get back in the saddle ?

oh btw, the blue paintwork is a bugger to keep looking nice, its matt and no clearcoat over it from what i've read, if you do it tho, do it now cos the 07 model looks fugly

If it looks to good to be true, It probably is.

That is a well known site and the prices are genuine.

It is mentioned all the time on the MCNNinjas site.

We are talking about it in the ZX6R thread. The new ZX6R is £5500 on there but I bet my local dealer has it up for £7000. It is genuine I guarantee it.

I bought my car from a website. £12500 as opposed to £15500. Everyone doubted it and said it would never happen but my genuine unregistered UK car with full warranty turned up as promised. As it was I got the local Kwak dealer to match a website price on my bike...

Kawasaki are offering the dealers huge discounts on the bikes - its up to the dealer if they pass them onto you or not - I would say for that sort of money he is "cutting his own throat"!! I paid £4495 for my Z750S brand new - cheap as chips!

I think that is Lloyd Cooper of Watford who are a reputeable Kwak dealer.Does it include on the road charges and the first service?Also it may be worth getting your local dealer to try and match it,as any problems can be sorted nearer home that way.
