IDIOTS ON CRAIGSLIST!

[EMTkid]

I dont know why the offered the deal so well other than it was non-commission sales and they were dumb? I dunno how better to explain it because I would have paid way more.

[makenzie71]

did anyone share this thread with the guy?

[lachie]

The craigslist poster has a point. It's hard to get a good deal on a bike brand new from a dealer, but it's not unheard of either. Got my '06 600RR for $8800 OTD with 5 year factory warranty and gap coverage. MSRP is $9k for the RR.

Well, I emailed him a link to this thread the other day.  Here's the exchange:

He's right.  You're trying to sell a 1-year-old bike for $200 less
than MSRP.  It doesn't matter the mileage.  It doesn't matter when you
bought it.  It doesn't matter what you paid.  It's not worth what
you're asking.  I can go to my dealer and get a brand new 2006 for
$5149.  No shipping fee, just tax, tag, and title, which you have to
pay in order to register anyway.

But hey, you might find someone who doesn't know any better.

Sincerely,

A GS500 owner
-----------------
its so funny people care soooo much how much my bike was worth. I sold the bike by the way for $5832.00. Sorry I butt hurt you. Just bought Brand new R6 Raven yesterday, GS500 was a waist of money. My suggestion if you own one then man up and get a real bike.
-----------------
Lol I meant 4.832 not 5832 sold it for 1K less then I bought it for, Maby I got ripped off but who cares its gone now  and I got a killer selling price for it.
-----------------
The thing is, I'm not a squid.  I don't need an R6.  Any moron can
twist the throttle and go fast in a straight line.  In the twisties,
the GS can keep up with a 600CC supersport if you know how to ride
it.

Of course, you obviously have much more experience than I do since you
have put all of 300 miles on your GS.

Congrats on finding a sucker.  Try not to kill yourself.

HAHAHAH!!! What a squid!...I mean, 300 miles...whoa! That's a lot of riding time! I would like to run thru the twisty roads with him.

...Sorry I butt hurt you.

That's squid talk for...I'm an idiot, please forgive me.

Well why doesn't he just man up and get an R1, then run it off a cliff?! Pu**y!

[Kasumi]

Yea i mean if hes got an R1 then why not go the full noodles and get a busa with a turbo and see what he looks like cut in half by a tree. I wonder if he would spend his time whereever he may go after death thinking about that rippin deal he did on his GS and wish he had it back.
