Hey guys,
First off, i would like to say you guys have a great board. Looks like there is a lot of good information to be found here.
I have decided that im just too big and uncomfortable on my 2004 R1. Im 6'3" and weigh about 275lbs. I thought it was just the nature of a sport bike and that it was something i was going to have to get used to. I went to the dealership to look at a 2008 orange and black hayabusa last night. As soon as i sat on it i knew it was the bike for me. Its worlds more comfortable, and i fit it a lot better.
That being said i would like some input on the trade that they are workin out with me at the dealership. I have only been to one place, going to a second tonight to compare.
My 04 R1 has 14,6xx miles on it. Its silver. It is in perfect condition, never down, not even a stratch or scuff. It has frame sliders and a paging alarm system on it, other than that bone stock. It probably could go for some new tires, but that is the only negative that could be said about it. Im attaching a couple pics at the bottom of this post.
The deal that they are working out for me is as follows:
2008 Hayabusa: 10,800
My trade in: -6,500
-----------------------
Difference out the door: $4,300
Do you guys think this is a good deal? I have found Busas online out the door for under 10k, but they are quite a drive. I know that dealerships need to make money too, but i know they could make a quick 500-1000 off my R1 at the price they are giving me, and i know they are still making a decent chunk off the Busa. It only took me about 2 min with the saleman to negotiate this price, so it makes me think i could push more, lol.
