Thanks fatzx10r,

Hey I would appreciate if you wouldnt mind checking it out and then asking if they would take 3k cash for it. You never know if they have had it too long they might accept.
Cheers

I was looking at the Bros 650, Hyosung GT650R, SV650, ER-6 and the ducati 600/750ss when I went to move up. Best value when I took service and parts into consideration was the Ducati. I haven't been disappointed.

My only regret is that I should have bought Dooly's 750ss from him when I had the chance.

I love the look of Ducati's and have taken an ER6F for a test ride and really enjoyed it but new ones are too expensive. I like the look of SV's too. If I find a Ducati 600 for no more than $7,500 i would take it out for a test ride in a flash.

Dunno about a test ride - wouldn't buy from a dealer coz of the mark up.

I suppose I was being a bit to Scottish with my haggling so $3500 might be more reasonable. however if you have $7,500 burning a hole thruough your bank account then the options really open up.

Doesn't hurt to go in with an offer of $3G cash, then the ball is in their court to make a counter offer. Maybe settle on a midway amount of about $4G, which seems reasonable...

Had a good comment at work today - bloke said "Is it true you fellas have gorse at the bottom of your pockets?"
I replied "I dunno, I've never put my hand all the way in!"

the second hand bike market is fucked: My 4 year old, 12000k Honda hornet 900 is at start equals reserve on tardme for less than some ten year old 250 hornets.

I'm just chiming in that I think its (the Bros) too dear too.

Maybe they could throw in a free tee shirt. There was about 10 guys all wearing matching MCR Tee shirts at levels. They must be members of their motard race team? Hmmmmmmmm matching tee shirts
