Bike I am going to look at tomorrow

Someone put this in my thread asking if I should pull the trigger and it makes sense. "If you feel the deal is good for YOU, who cares what everyone else thinks".

Exactly! Everyone has a different idea of what is reasonable to pay & everyone has different amounts of spendable income.

I know lots of people who will only buy bikes brand new, and that's great because it keeps the bike market busy. I see the appeal of having a brand new bike. Imagine not having to worry about the previous owners, maintenance and having everything as the factory intended straight out the door--that's really appealing even to me.

I'm just too broke to ever consider buying new, and I don't think I've ever paid more than $4000 for a bike in the last 7 I've owned.

I called on this bike:
Yamaha 2008 FZ1

It has some nice after market stuff on it.
It is listed for $4995
They also stick you for $364 of fees

If I was local to Charlotte, NC I would be interested but it would cost another $600-$700 to ship it.

You could fly out then ride it back. Air fare and gas to get home would still be cheaper AND you'd have a story to tell us all! :D I saw that same one. It is a NICE bike!

Yea, fly out with some saddle bags and ride it back home ;) However, I guess this time of year he would still have to worry about what Mother Nature would send his way while on the road.

Look at what I found for you!!!!!

Yamaha : FZ - (item 180637215809 end time Mar-13-11 19:18:50 PDT)

Even at the asking price it's not a bad deal considering the mileage. I would offer $5500 and ride it home :D

I called the guy and offered him $5500, looks like I may pick up the bike tomorrow evening. It is pending approval of seeing the bike and agreeing that it is in good condition.

Thank you for the tip. :woot:

That other bike in Charlotte looked very good too, with all of the mods. But this one I can go see, it has less miles and I don't have to ship it.

The cheapest quote I got between Charlotte and Colorado Springs was $575. All the prices are going up with fuel being more expensive

Just saw that ad last night and couldn't believe it's in the Springs. Looks like a sweet bike and a great deal. I'm a little jealous since that's exactly the bike I will be on the hunt for in a few weeks (08 Granite Gray), but I'm psyched for you. I hope it works out. Congrats!
 
There are some great people on this forum and I really appreciate the help in finding that bike. The two best bikes that were in my consideration were both bikes I did not find myself. That 2008 FZ1 in Charlotte is a nice bike too, a few more miles but it has some nice mods, probably around $1700 worth. I spoke to them the other day and they took the PC(not sure if they had a III or V) because it was not functioning. :woot:
 
These pics are not very good, I took them after I parked the bike in the garage. Thanks again to Tony for the headsup on the deal. The bike came with frame sliders even so I don't need to get any. Nice to be back on a bike. Nice to be back on an FZ1 :thewave:
 
Nice bike, some model as my 07 Fazer but mine is blue with silver motor.The asking price is cheap here with $US to $NZ, here it looks to be a $12 grand NZ Fazer.
