well my neighber and is also a friend of mine wants to sell me a 2007 red honda cbr 600rr with a little over 5k miles for $5,900. it is also lowered 3 inches and it was done by a honda technician along with a two brother exhuast installed too. it has never been dropped or been in a accident according to my knowledge. so i wanted to hear your feedbacks if this bike is a good deal or move on and look for something else?

 

I don't know anything about bikes, but that seems like a good deal to me.

Seeing as how most new bikes go for like $7-8k brand new.

 

WHAT?! lol, it seems like you're obviously qualified to state that then! haha

 

hate to say it but new bikes are a little higher than 7-8 grand as well and that is somewhere in the price range of a used bike but if u keep ur open u can find alot better deals

 

Um.. Do not ever ride a lowered fucking bike.. 3inches is so fucking stupid.. Lowering it in general is fucking stupid.

 

There's a purpose for lowering a bike for some people. Some people simply can't reach the ground on some bikes that they may want, but in return you lose some qualities that may have made the bike enjoyable in the first place. He's probably buying the bike from someone who is like 4'11.



To the Original Poster, the suggested retail price from a dealer based on KBB is 6500 and the trade-in value is 4500. A good rule of thumb for purchasing a bike based on these numbers is not to pay more than the middle ground at max, which would be 5500. In all actuality, you should be trying to get it for 5200 based on the season as well.

 

 

Yeah, that's a little steep for the time of year.

 

You can find them MUCH cheaper.. Just keep looking.. Took me 7 months to find the right deal on a bike.. got my 2005 for $4000 flat with Aftermarket goodies and 8k miles

 

well my friend is 5'11, not 4'11 haha.
