    Brand spank me new...

    Ok.... I have never bought a Bike/Car/Boat or Woman direct from a dealer, as in New with only demo Ks.... (Used is my middle name)

    So... who here has been fortunate enough to buy a bike brand new? what did ya get? how did it feel? Got any pics of it you wanna share (you know you took some on the 1st day!)

    Bought two brand new bikes so far, the most recent is my CB which was a year old last week, the only K's on it were to the WOF Station and back, about 200mts, the Dealer (Honda Warkworth) paid for and fitted the Ventura pack rack/filled the tank/paid ORC and my first years subcription to Honda Riders Club was on the house. The pic below is the day I got it home, a Neptune can has been fitted and new tyres Dec' 31st last year.
    How did it feel?....Lets be honest, I got a semi when I saw it....came home, got Mom and said...come.......and.....look......at...this!!!

    Current bike, the KTM 990 SM was my first new bike... 6km on it.

    Best bike I have ever had, depreciation is going to be a killer, but who cares, the bike was barely available new, let alone 2nd hand.

    Sent it down the road more than any other bike I have owned tho... pisses me off no end

    Had new...

    VMax
    1200 Bandit
    Suzuki RF900
    Suzuki TL1000S
    Triumph Speed Triple

    Prefer now to buy 1-2 yrs old so not to take the big money drop and also most of bling, exhaust, has been added by the original owner.

    But it is a buzz having a brand spanker.

    My last two FZ1-N's were brand new. It's a cool feeling to ride off on a bike that no one else has Fkd with.

    Can anyone tell me how to post a pic that I have already used on here in another thread. The system wont let me!!!

    I leased a brand new Ford XR6 Turbo back in '04, I enjoyed that car, both as a car and the fact that it was new and anything that went wrong I just rolled it into the dealer and said sort it out pal.

    Only ever bought 2 brand new:

    A 1999 GSXR750WX - The last of the SRAD shape...in black and silver. I think it was either $15,995 or $16,995..too long ago cant remember. Ive never seen one that colour on the road since.

    and, my SV650 was new, well as new as an ex demo can get.
