+1 IMO
The dealer gave me mine without the insp. sticker.
I was the first person to sit on it.
Maybe your dealer won't be riding other peoples bikes after this?
Good luck!
My bike had 0 miles...
If it was dropped, it was dropped while being pushed and was repaired...
I bet the mechanic guy totally pinned the throttle... because think; it's not his bike and what does he care?
Ditto.. if the front wheel crumbles at 45mph.. i dont' wnna be on it.
when I bought the triumph it had 12 mi.
Guy offered to let me follow him on the route he takes while he was doing mine... on a rocket III.. lol
He explained it as (and I have no reason to distrust him,, and he had nothing to gain because I've never really cared if a new bike had a few miles anyway) a requirement from triumph to put atleast 10 miles on it.. and showed me on the check list that I've got here that it's got a little box along with 80000000000 other ones for a pre-delievery inspection.. and it has several boxes for road test on it.
plus the triumph has a top speed indicator built into it.. hehe .. 58 mph... well below where the engine would have to be to over-rev it in any gear.. and low enough that it wouldn't even have gone past the recommended break in revs in anything but 1st/2nd... and he was in third before he got to 15mph from what I saw.
just because your bike had zero miles on doesnt mean it was never driven. all you have to do is disconnect the plug from the back of the speedo and the miles wont register.My bike had 0 miles...
If it was dropped, it was dropped while being pushed and was repaired...Some dipwad mechanic didn't take it out for a test/joyride and get spooked...

one more note. ive been to the corvette factory in bowling green kentucky. when the car is finally put together, its put on a dynometer like type of machine. the car is then accelerated to i think 60 mph or so for a certain length of time while the computer checks and make sure things work right. brakes are checked, exhaust gases are checked alonged with other checks i cant remember. i asked our guide if the miles are registering on the car while he is basically driving it at speed on the machine. she didnt know so i asked the guy performing the test. he said the miles are NOT registering. i know for the amount of time on the machine it should have had at least 5 miles on it, but some unknowing guy is going to buy it thinking just because it shows 0 miles that its never been driven. one more thing.....every 1 out of 50 or 100 vetts, i cant remember the exact number, is taken outside to a test track and tested that way. again, no miles will be registered on the odometer.
Your theory must apply to everyone. ALL of our busa's have been ridden and dropped by the dealerships we bought them from! LOL!!!just because your bike had zero miles on doesnt mean it was never driven. all you have to do is disconnect the plug from the back of the speedo and the miles wont register.My bike had 0 miles...

C'mon. Odds are my bike was never ridden by the dealership nimroids...
To be honest... I think he should just buy the bike now that I think about it and make extra sure that the dealership will back it up if there are any problems. Whatever bargaining he does is his choice. If he really wants the LE bad enough, he'll get it no matter what we all say...
If he MUST have a dropped white busa... then he should get it. I think some people actually get the LE because they think it's something more special than the other colors.... that's sad. I hope he really DOES want a white busa and not just buying it for the name.
We all love our bikes for our own reasons.... so if his heart is set on white.... then go for it!!!
I totally pulled a John Kerry just now.... GET THE BIKE!!! IF THAT'S WHAT YOU REALLY, REALLY WANT!!!
pictures like those make me want to cry...trust me when i say that me crying is an ugly, ugly sight!
