What Whould I Do With The Scratches On My New Baby?
« Reply #15 on: May 04, 2006, 06:28:46 AM »
It's funny - I really wanted the all black 650 but my dealer had just sold his last one - I thought the contrasting red frame in front of the lack engine made the red bike look 'cheap'.

Bought the red one and now I never notice and the bike looks fantastic to me...

Come out of work and see her and my heart always jumps a bit...maybe I should go see the doc and have a checkup? :wink:

BTW, I looked for a new bike for about a year...sat on a hundred bikes at a toronto bike show and just reread an old posting about that from another site - at that time, i narrowed my choice down to four bikes (all suzukis!) and the bandit was the clear favourite.  I just had to wait for the dealer to drop $2000 off list and i was ready to go.

Good price.  Good discount.

I picked my 1200 up off eBay for $2,900 in '04.  A Kawa dealer had it at Xmas time and evidently wanted it out of inventory real bad.  I've always felt like I made out like a bandit!
