Yeah. Something wrong when a dealership can do same price lower km and 5 year newer.Originally Posted by yevjenko
Another 5 grand and you have a new one with warranty and no km on the clock. 5 Grand into 10 years sounds like $500 per year.
Idd rent a GSXR750 for that.

This is at least its second appearance in this thread. I posted it 6 months ago, surprisingly it hasn't sold yet.

The next bike I buy will be a one owner job. Reason being, nearly all bikes that have been dropped, were done so by the previous owner, never the current one.

Does it really matter as long as the repairs are upto standard and all parts replaced?The next bike I buy will be a one owner job. Reason being, nearly all bikes that have been dropped, were done so by the previous owner, never the current one.

I don't follow Ducati's (well I'd like a 916) but wasn't that a $30k plus bike new?

Closer to 40 iirc.
Seems reasonable enough compared to the other 1098 and up Ducatis on trademe. Don't think I've ever seen even a roughed up, early base model 1098 for any less than 15k.

I really like the 999. not much help to you I know.

Fantastic machine. Can't see myself owning one though. I'd get the same amount of enjoyment out of a modern I4.
I mean I can understand why people buy ferraris mustangs etc -- they go faster than the average shitbox. But what does a 916 have on a ZX10 or R1 (asides from baller status)?

Arguably the sexiest bike ever. Other than that, they have fuck all. I'm very anti Ducati though.

The performance isn't the main reason I'm buying it, its just a fantastic looking bike that sounds just as good. When I test rode a 1098s a week ago it put a massive smile on my face that returned every time I thought of the bike and the 1198 is pretty much just an updated version of that.
None of the Jap 1000cc bikes do that for me and they all feel very similar.

There were a few tidy 916s for ~$7k a couple years ago. That might've been the lowest they'll ever go.
The 1198S is a significantly different bike though. A shit-tonne faster than a 916. Probably not faster for anyone than a new Jappa (or a near new Jappa for 15) but when they're all just unnecessary objects that happen to make you feel real good then they start to make sense. Some people prefer v-twins, 5 years ago the closest 2 cylinder competitor would've been the Buell 1125? Or Aprilia RSVR but the V4 made that obsolete overnight. Correct me if I've forgotten something.

That's all it takes to put it on the perma-want list though.

yeah .. 11/9 seems OTT
