kdrags68 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I want to know what everyone thinks if this is worth buying or not. I have found a 2001 R1 (today is 5/11/07) that has 2 miles on it and is being sold as a "New" bike. I have seen this bike up close and basically it is "forgotten stock" from a dealer. Here is the dilemma; Retail on a 01 R1 from Kelly Blue Book is $6300.00 in excellent condition. The dealer wants $8000.00 for the bike and they won't budge. is this bike worth 8k even though it is an 01 with 2 miles on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tomg Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 i wouldn;t buy it personally. i would spend the cash on anew one. howver the 2001 is a lovely specimen especially in silver and black. depends on the attraction of a "new" bike too. for that kinda cash i would go for somethign much newer. the dealer is trying to sell it at list price and theres no way they should. however if you really want it offer them 6000 for it. i would!! just be cheeky you never no what happens!!
