oh i'm quite sad at the moment, looks like i'll have to wait a few more weeks before I get another bike :-(
Finance was approved but they wanted me to comprehensively ensure the big zx-14. 20 years old....zx14....comprehensive insurance....they don't go well together.
I'm like "your kidding right, that would be in the vicinity of 3-4000 a year"
The loan officer was like "oh well my hubby rides bikes and he had a tlr1000 at 27...yet he still was able to insure it for 1000 with swann"
Some people are thick ..."I'm 20 thats 7 years difference..."
darrrrr
ARGHHH
might have to hold off on the mighty 14 right now. I'm thinking anyway, the 08 busa and 14 will be out probably if I wait a bit longer. when are they due here?????

No matter what you get, finance companies like you to insure. If it gets stolen, written off etc, you get money to payout the finance. They get their money and you don't get left paying for a bike you no longer have.

They are a really fun bike, closer to your 600 than the bus. Offer as little as you think you might get away with ($5k?). BUT make sure it's unencumbered and get him to register it as part of the deal.

hehe.......yes I hate to say but the younger generation are even better at video games than my generation.
I offered that guy 5500 bux for the VTR1000 and he replied "no i want more than that"
With 73,000km and no rego you gotta be kidding. & its a 98 model.
I said...then goodluck with the sale...lol

VTRs are fun, I had a '98 that was only a couple yrs old, paid $11k with pipes/heated grips etc. surprised that up until a couple years ago they never seemed to dip below $9k, tho' that is changing as they approach 10 yrs old.
Well, I knew someday I will have to make amends with the missus for the busa + turbo datto + BA Ford while she keeps an capri convertible going. Checking out shopping trolleys....go down for a bit of look at the cheapo end of the market...walk out the door with deposit down on Getz $14.2k drive-away 4 pm today. Drove a Toyo Yaris just for comparison between Jap & Korean, apart from detail and maybe better feeling g/box bugger all difference really and Hyundai back it 5 yr unlimited warr.
Hey Max, no sight of the new bling.......... but I did buy a rear braided brake line...... can we fit that in too!!
