Yep, even the already owned ones. I wonder how the new K7 owners are feeling after shelling out $21,000.00 for their new thous, to have SNZ drop the arse out of the price to $18,000.00? Probably alright if you are a first time Suzuki buyer with no trade, but they've got you by the goolies if you are a regular/loyal buyer

its like anything else in life.. you can wait and get a better deal or buy now and pay the price; shit happens and if losing money is a concern then you definitely don't want to buy new fullstop. What gets on my nellies is this just highlights the markup on EVERYTHING we as consumers have to swallow..


got ya PM Pussy churr, i'll mull it over .. the price might drop .. tehehehehehe

I beg to differ about margins, while some products have good margins many simply do not. Given the cost of even opening ones doors, compliance fees to this, compliance to that etc etc many retailers of many products are very much NOT getting rich. I think there needs to be a reasonable balance. A fair and reasonable return for what you do as long as in turn you do it well. Anyone doing dodgy deals should be jumped on big time. And a fair taxation system that didnt rob middle NZ blind would be great as well.

I think that ordinary everyday New Zealanders have simply become serfs to many and varied political and ''big box'' retailing agendas. We can all find common ground in that statement.

I'll bet the dealers that bought in bikes before the price drop will be a bit miffed too.

I suppose now is the time for me to rub in the fact that brand new K7 GSXR 600's are selling for as little as $ 7,500 out the door (tax, tags, doc fee's, etc included) here in the states. You cant always get the color you want for that price.....but who is gonna bitch for $7,500 right?? Not me.

I think at current exchange rates that translates into $10,515 New Zealand Dollars. You guys sure do pay a premium if $14,995 is a great deal on a 600!!!!!

I still cant believe what you Kiwi's are forced to pay for your motorcycles.

Hmm, lets see here. A Ducati 1098S has an MSRP of $19,995 (which means you can find it cheaper if you look hard enough) here in the U.S. That means, adjusted for exchange rates it would cost you $28,035 NZD plus add more because its NZ. So Im guessing you would be hard pressed to find a Ducati 1098S for under $30 grand NZ. Damn. So I guess you would prolly pay around $35 grand b/c its such a piece of exotica???

Jesus, I dont even wanna know what you'd have to pay for a 1098S tricolor or an Mv Agusta F4 312.

Here is a question: Are there any MV Agusta F4 CC's in NZ???

Oh but hey, on the good side for you Kiwi's: America ALWAYS gets screwed on the color options. The Euro-spec colors (which I assume you get) are almost always SOOOO much nicer then the shit we get in the US.

Perfect example: Yamaha just released the new 08 colors for the R-6/R-1. Compare and be amazed at how badly we get shafted in the States by the shit colors they let us have.

I'd rather get the bike several grand cheaper and paint over it with the savings rather than spend the premium to get the nice paintjob that you'd be fretting over hurting since it's original.

So, know any good companies nearby you that can ship bikes to NZ?

Shit, I didn't know run-out models were so much cheaper. That makes me getting a new 600 almost believable

You're right, but I don't think it applies to bike stores. TSS started off a few years back selling some old 250s at 250 prices. Now they're selling brand new Aprilias. I think they're making a fair bit of money
