Only time I would consider new is with a leftover on considerable discount and for some reason I "need" to finance it.

But with all 600's you'll find one for a reasonable price low miles and not dropped if you're looking at late models. Not to mention, with used bikes as long as you have cash (in the event you eat shit) just about any one selling will let you ride.

I know the Triumph/BMW dealer in roanoke does test rides. So... yea :P
