I went to check out some bikes today and I was drooling over the new bikes, and with classes done and new job recently, I think it's time to get a new bike.

So, is it even possible to find / does anyone know if there is a brand new 05 in any store hiding in storage or am I better off aiming for an 06 and skip the running around? I prefer new but would like to save as much as possible (thus not aiming for 07s)

depends on the model.

Look around

Yeah, it's worth it! I found a 05 Z750 and got it for $1200 under MSRP. Check out blackfoot motorsports website www.blackfootonline.com/home_page.htm . They have some reduced bikes as well although you got to get it here from Calgary (they do ship.)

why buy new. theres lots of bikes out there right now. even on this site check, them out. i bought new once, wont ever do it again. save your money.

there's 04 Ducati 999 in RMS....$17000 something check it out!

lol that's not a good idea since you just finished your classes. don't go for litre bike yet. i want that high maintenance bitch 999 fucking bad

So you want a new but cheap bike? hmm i donno which category of bike you are talking about. supersport? standard? price range? please specify.

I assume you might want a supersport.

in 06, some of japanese manufactures have changed their 600 model. such as R6 and GSX-R600 while 636 and CRB600RR remains the same.

in 05.....

600RR has a facelift from 04
R6 has a facelift from 04
636 was new
GSX-R600 was same as 04

I hope the things above can help you thinking about which bike to get if there's still any 05 left.

If you want a 999, there is a low-miler '03 in the Province classifieds for 12500.

We have some 05s left over, depends what you want though, not very many.

not that I was in the market anyways

:laughing nice bikes though :coffee

 

[bombermanx]

oops, I guess I forgot to mention that I'm looking for a 600 and full fairing supersport only just because my back can handle the strain . Any of those left Iceman_19?

and ducati is a nono, too flashy :laughing

I've been riding a 250 for 2 years, and I think it's time to move on. Shifting through 6 gears to reach 60kph is starting to get a bit annoying lol.

About a month ago the Yamaha dealer in Coquitlam had a bunch of 05 R6's....don't know if there still there but it might be worth a shot.

interesting.... thanks for the tips!

Heh, no, the 05 Gixxers are loooooooong gone. Unless you want a used 05 750?

 

[janesee]

I got a brand new 05 R6 in May, from North Shore Suzuki. I think my bike was the last new 05 they had on the lot. But I browsed around a few other shops after I had bought mine and found there were a few new 05's still in the shops, but this was mid season.

+1 I agree. Too many bikes with the perfect story, as in: "Only 1000 kms. Decided riding wasn't for me. Now for sale... ". Happens every day.

i bought new cause i could. it was my first new vehicle!! after 20+ years i finally got a new vehicle. i was most happy!! still am.

 

[bombermanx]

i bought new cause i could.

that would be my reason to buy new too :laughing
plus, there's something you don't get/feel if buying used. Just like the new car smell when buying a new car. don't get that feeling if bought used!
