Where to buy new?
There are a few bikes that I'm interested in getting, quite possibly new rather than used.. but there's no way I'm going to fork over $9,700 out the door for a brand new 600. I think that's ridiculous.
I'm looking at the new 636's, a couple different 600 RR's (the beautiful orange with tribal and flakes in the paint, and the completely blacked out version), maybe a new R6... maybe something bigger than a 600 if the price is right, but no--I do not want a Hayabusa or a ZX12R or anything.. although the new frosty white Hayabusa is a beautiful machine, it's not for me. I prefer twists and turns to straight lines.
Anywhere in particular I should look first? I want a good deal. I've heard of people buying brand new 636's and 600 RR's for aroud $7-7500 brand spanking new at dealerships, but that certainly wasn't around here. Any suggestions?

My suggestion is to NEVER buy any vehicle brand new unless you get a HUGE discount on it. Items such as motorcycles depreciate so quickly, you will lose your ass once the time comes to sell. Why not just buy a used 04 or 05?

I think the most fun I've ever had in my life was when my boys and I just packed up our shit and decided to go somewhere.. last minute, zero notice.. just packed our shit and hit the road. Good times! I'm always down for a road trip if I'm not working or if I can get off of work.

I'm not ruling out the idea of a used bike, but it would be nice to start fresh if I'm going to drop that much money to begin with.
