Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

42* here in SLC this am, sunny and 76 this afternoon.

Rest of the week though...

 

I wish!!

 

no worries its all good as long as your son grows up to appreciate having his bike in the his bedroom!!

 

valid excuses, waverunners and snowmachines are purposeful beyond recreation, i like that

 

I think we've had less than 10 hrs above 70* so far this year. Tomorrow is supposed to make it to 68* and then back to the rain on Friday

 

The constant rain is one of the things that kept me from staying in WA fulltime (partly grew up there, moved back after college). It def wears on you.

I may have overcorrected a bit moving to Utah.

 

We’re supposed to have 106* this Sunday. Yet it was below freezing and snowing a couple months ago haha.

 

Yeah, Utahs like that too. But not nearly as drastic as the Dakotas.

@FreshOldTaco you still have the bolt? if so you interested in selling it?

 

Dont kick him when hes down

 

In a strangely positive turn of events re: the Speed T, one of my neighbors indicated he is interested in buying it to rebuild, and he wants the tires I was getting ready to send back as well! So, other than the chunk I'll have to pay the mechanic, I almost didn't lose money on this whole thing! I'd like to say "Lessons learned!" but I'd probably be lying...

 

ooff did I come across that way??


I have a neighbor looking for one as a surprise fathers day gift, figured kevin might be off the saddle for some time long enough to consider letting her go

 

Oh i just meant that he crashed and didn't know when or if he will be riding again.

 

looking at trading up...what are your guys' thoughts on this one? looks pretty clean to me

Not bad at all! Nice "peace of mind" knowing it was serviced there, assuming they are reputable...

 

That's what I was thinking as well. Have found a few cheaper options all private, but knowing it was dealer serviced is a big plus to me.

 

I think the price is a little high when you factor in the mileage, dealer fees and taxes.

 

Is it?

No clue what the resale market is like for that but it seems to be one of the lower priced ones I found with similar years. Mileage is definitely a little high...what do you think would be a fair price for it? There would definitely be some negotiations to be had.

 

NADA list average retail at $10,500. That is with the listed options and assumes the carbon front fender and rear mudguard are factory and not aftermarket. I'd definitely put that bike in average territory considering it has 27k miles and a nice size scuff on the upper right fairing.

Edit: I think we are seeing the motorcycle market start to turn from an aggressive sellers market. In times of high inflation, the powersports market starts to slow because people have less disposable income to spend on toys. With that in mind, I would try to be as close to $10k otd as possible.
