What about the street version that's coming up?

Try Supercharged & a 240 rear beachball

Those B-King exhausts and this talk of it being supercharged are mighty familiar would it have been 5 years ago (maybe even more) at Big Boys Toys?

for sure a classic, but watch the bike shops give them away, as they are traded in against the K7.

same thing happened with the k2-k4 bikes when the k5 came out .. couldnt GIVE the goddamn things away.. everyone traded them in to upgrade to the k5.. when i left Colemans we had a bunch of the last generatin and they were trying to move them for 11-14,000..

worst part was when someone had a k1-k4 the wanted to trade in on a k5-6.,.made it difficult to say the least because the customer was normally expecting 13-14000 and they were on the floor at 11000...

OK I take it all back. The Bnadit is watercooled and looks just like the K6.
Bugger!
I suppose it's got shim valve adjustment too. It better have alot more grunt to compensate.

funny that Sarge, but I know for sure that at least one person has traded a k3 for 14 grand in the last month or so and I don't recall seeing any of them going for 11, not even the horrible copper thing.

K2's are still retailing at 12.5 in some places too.

I reckon it's gonna be more along the lines of people trading up from 04/05 to 06 zx10's and then regretting it, we'll see.

Try $12k for an 05 Gixxer 1000. One down this way recently sold to a bike shop, then out the door for $16k within a few days.

Pretty sure my info is correct, unless it was a K6.

**The_Dover** · 13th October 2006, 08:49

that's cos people down your way are dumb cunts.

letting a fuckin bikeshop get a 33% profit? mad.

**Deano** · 13th October 2006, 09:13

Letting a K5 1000 go for $12k is pretty sad (did I just say that?).

Buying one for $16k is pretty great (shit, did I say that as well?).

It was not a standard bike either.

**dawnrazor** · 13th October 2006, 09:33

I noticed the other day that colemans still have their ex-demo K5 1000 for sale for 17K, wonder what sorta price that'll go for eventually........especially when you'll pick up a new K7 for about 20K......

**The_Dover** · 13th October 2006, 09:43

nope, I doubt the K7 will enter the market for less than 23.

That's what the K3 started at and the K5.

As for the demo, it's never been registered so you're getting a 2 year warranty on it, even if it has been raped like a kosovan peasant.
