I have no false ideas about used cars salesmen, I have two family members that used to be in that line of work and I kind of know the show Anyway, I just wanted to know if it was a good deal, I don’t think I will be running out to buy it. Our average summer out is here is around 105+ degrees and if past years prove anything as soon as the real heat kicks in newcomers to town will be trying to sell their bikes so they can have something with an A/C system. Thanks for all the info, this guy is firm on his price so he can keep it, it looks good on the lot with all the washing he does to it

Ok, so there is a 08 250 for sale the next town over, I pass by it everyday and its been there for months. I stopped in and talked to the dealership owner and he wants 3000 OTD for it. It has just over 900 miles and a crack in the left fairing, he swears this is from him taking it from storage to the lot (trade in, he says he took it to a local shop for a once over before accepting it) and that he layed the bike down while taking it off his truck. This is for sale at a used car dealership and the guy does not seem to have a whole lot of knowledge on the bike except for some brochure info. This bike started out on his lot at $4000 and has gone down to $2700 on the sticker over the last few weeks, he said he just wants it gone and thats why he offered $3000 OTD. Does this seem too good to be true? or is this a great priced bike that he is letting go cheap for lack of interest? I know its hard to judge without seeing, but it did have around 940 miles on the dial and no other visible signs of a crash to be seen.

Turns out there is an instructor listed just a few miles from my house, so hopefully the class is still offered here. Anyway, thanks for all the good info, I have been looking at getting a bike since I started commuting last year but could not seem to get the wife like the idea, at least ever-high gas prices are good for something I know that it probably varies from place to place, and its probably posted somewhere here, but how much to the courses usually run?
