So i've kept it on the downlow but the past few months i've been looking at the new ZX14's. Without the truck payments anymore i decided what better time than now, I originally had went down in 06 when they came out to buy one brand new and couldnt get an insurance company to touch me, was horrible, i had cash to buy the bike but no insurance. Keep in mind that was with a horrible record, a bike accident year and a half prior and not even 21 years old. So fast forward quite a few years, most of my records cleaned up, go down and talk money on the brand new 2012 special ed. Even without any money down my credit is smokin right now thanks to the truck loan showing payed off and i've gotten my credit card balances knocked almost in half. Money would work great, but planned on selling the busa and only financing a little bit of it. Dealer had 2 of em on the floor, both had been test ridden and had some miles so i tell my buddy (who by the way was knocking a substantial amount of money off sticker and even tossed a new icon leather jacket into the deal) I want one brand new, he goes well those are brand new. No you dont understand i've never had anything brand new i want to see it come out of the crate, i want the first mile on it. So needless to say they locate one and get it heading this way.
At this point i havent signed anything and told him before you get it coming i need to check on insurance, oh man dont worry about it, considered sport touring will probably be a few bucks more than your busa, well i need to check. So he gets it shipped anyway saying if you back out i can sell it no problem anyway. So i call today....Now theres a difference between what i can afford and what i will afford. The 2012 ZX14 would cost me just under $400 a month to insure, which is doable even with the payment....But i will not pay that much to insure a bike. Hell the busa runs me 70 bucks a month.
So the 2012 is out, the suzuki dealer has a 2009 14 monster energy edition with 2900 miles, power commander, full yoshi exhaust, throttle plate mod done, new tires bike literally looks brand new for 10k. Thinking of going and having a chat with them, and adding it to the stable rather than replacing the busa, insurance on the 09 is 140 a month.
