    Tried to negotiate with Street and Sport / First Euro here in Chch on the Guzzi, its an ex demo low Ks, with Zards at $14990.

    They weren't interested. I think I'd prefer the Guzzi over the HD but they weren't into offering a deal.


    Feck. Any suggestions other than paying the 15k ?

    IMO the Guzzi is not worth $15k.


    If you have coin like that to spend I'd be looking to the low km used market and saving some for personalizing it to your own tastes.

    Look here - room to haggle a jacket with fringes along he arms and change from your $15 k for coffee.

    if you buy from the Harley shop they give you free coffee. Just saying.

    Sounds like OP has $15k to spend, just not on that Guzz.

    I personally would go in and say: I want a deal on that ex demo V7 or I will buy elsewhere. If they dont come to the party then buy elsewhere. Your money, your choice.

    If you MUST have a harley then off to RT or tardme or Welly moorsickles.

No lie, and the essence of form over substance in action. If I had not seen it I would not have believed it.

    Yeah - if he gets the Harley he will need a fringed jacket - so people can tell when he's moving ..

    Leave them to it ... women who "witter on" provide reasons for NO Pillion seat on a bike ..

    A few hundy to ship it down to you?? Or to go and collect it? 11k plus that? Still plenty of change from 15k,,,, and THAT is one pretty wee Guzzi. Set of Lanfranc's or Conti's mufflers on it????
