Considering buying a 2013 GSXR 750.
There is one at our local shop up here in Eureka.
Black one. Beeeeeeautiful.... I am in a strong state of lust :teeth:sex.
Was quoted "under 13,000. OTD"
Is this a good deal?
Talk to me wise BARF peeps :ride
I got my 08 R1 brand new for 2K less... & i'm not a very good haggler... so i would say not a good deal.
on a side note, i will sell you a slightly used R1 for 12K if you're interested.
MSRP is $12,199. Can you have them throw in an extended warranty or perhaps a service contract?
Aren't there fees and taxes that get added onto MSRP? :dunno
Nope.
I don't know which tax rate they are going by. Eureka's 8.5% because that's where they are located. Or Fortuna's tax rate of 7.5%.
Let's say they are using Eureka's. 8.5% on $12,199 is $103.70.
And let's say we use the MSRP as the sale price:

8.5% sales tax on $12,199 is $1,036
Awesome info. You rock :cool. Thanks. It will be Fortuna's tax rate.
He said "under 13 otd" .... so, that sounds fair then.... Maybe I'll be pushy and say I want it for 12.5 otd But, he does need to make some money on the deal, gotta keep the guy in business:teeth
Say 12.5 and let him counter offer as I am sure he will. No harm to ask! I was looking at the 750's last year and got a quote of 13K OTD..so your deal sounds about right. I wound up finding a 2009 750 with only 5K...all black..original owner had added Yoshi pipe, CRG levers(though shorties which I don't like) and smoke windscreen added. It is pristine. Was surprised to see it at Tracy Motorsports..was there with someone else who was buying a used bike he saw on CL..he got his bike and I went home with that Gixxer. Now I have the 2009 600 and 2009 750..600 is now strictly track!
You will love it..you may find some nice used bikes for a few thou cheaper unless you are absolutely in love with brand new..look around..some dealers may have some used ones out there..
What happened to Multistrada lust?
Oh, it's still there. :love.... If I my finances were in better shape, that is what I would get. I'm trying something new I heard about (it's just an experiment for me at this point) ..... something called "living within my means ". My inner princess is very cranky and pouty about it, but, I'm going to give it a goarty
(Bill Gates, if you are reading this, and are touched by my story, PM me and I'll give you my bank account #. You can just electronically transfer me the funds:thumbup:laughing)
If you're looking at buying new bikes, I would happily live within your means! :laughing
If you enjoy that Gixxer as much as I do mine, though, it's worth every penny!!
5 years ago? I think bikes cost more now.I got my 08 R1 brand new for 2K less... & i'm not a very good haggler... so i would say not a good deal.
5 years ago? I think bikes cost more now.
Wow, crazy coincidence, I was just about to PM you!!!
Where do you go for your aftermarket items?
What modifications have you made to your bike? What year is yours?
This is going to be a big change for me. I'm a little nervous, but mostly excited. I have absolutely loved my Hyper for the last 4 years, but, the closest Ducati mechanics/dealerships are 5 hours driving time away (either Hattar, A&S, or Hansen's in Medford). I ride about 10K a year, so, we have to drive or ride down to Roseville or San Rafael, Spend night.... with gas, hotel, and the cost of the service, doing that a couple of times a year... that adds up!$$
Well. I'm not 100% sure I'm going to do this yet, but, I'm very close.
Thanks for chiming inarty
