Motorcycle Buy Back?

[jmmk]

wow.. think i have a bike here that i will sell you for 9k.. and buy it back (as good a condition as i sold) for only 70%....

2,700 for a month of doing nothing.... hmmmmm

yeah ok.. will put new tyres on it...

what month you be here?

err.. it's a road bike

I will be there in early November. Need a bike for about 6 weeks. Would prefer a Honda VFR, Triumph Sprint or maybe Suzuki Bandit or SV. Prefer full fairing and side panniers. Best of both worlds performance but can haul a little gear as I will be making lots of kms and probably not staying in the same place for more then a day.

How about a ZG1400 Concours? What would you consider a fair price to rent for your 6 weeks?

Don't know. Is it yours and you willing to part with it for 6 weeks? You tell me what would be fair to you.

Well like most businesses I'm sure they wanna make money, nothing wrong with that. I'm just trying to weigh options and renting a bike for about 6 weeks sure ain't cheap with lots of restrictions. Figured on buying a bike for $7000- to $10000 and if I could get 70% back when done that would satisfy me. Just worried that 70% turns into 50% or something stupid when the actual time to sell back comes.

Errrr why not just buy a bike for $5K? Then sell it again.

We have a fully functioning e-economy system here called www.trademe.co.nz but I am sure if you picked up a bike for $7K here, did your tour of duty then went to sell it a few weeks later you would easily get your 75+%....... you can even sell bikes on kiwibiker.
Check the bike listings.......someone may even organize a better buy back system than what this guy is offering (privately).

What? It's a "buy back" scheme, so clearly ownership has changed hands. Otherwise it would be a lease or rental arrangement.

As I said, if the ownership has changed, then it will be the new owner that needs to insure the bike, not the person operating the buy-back scheme.

Well that's what I will probably do but from looking at ads not going to get much of a bike for $5000. Would prefer something like a Triumph Sprint, Honda VFR,Suzuki Bandit, Yamaha FZ6R or even FJR that's what I ride here. Don't see too many of these for less then around $9000. Which is fine just want it gone when I'm gone hence why I was wondering if anybody has had dealings with this company. I don't wanna still own the bike when I'm gone waiting who knows how long till it's sold.
