Have you been able to ride the bike yet?

I would doubt you can still find a HD dealership that still sells Jap bikes side by side with HDs. This is one of the reasons HD dealerships are in such trouble, HD mandated that their dealers be HD dealers only in the same building, they also wanted the dealerships within some much distance from a highway. The new buildings are putting a stress on cash flow with this downturn in the economy. Sometimes big businesses are their own worst enemies.

thats a stellar rate! my heloc is actually lower than my first right now. that was unheard of before. The rate is tied into the one year T-bill plus 1.125% rounded up to the next 0.125% with a 6% cap plus or minus from 7.25% & 2% per year. If the rate ever goes over the 7.25% that I originated the loan at I will most likely pay the house off but that will depend on how much my invested money is making at that time. Listen to your accountants.

Congrats Tony. Let the mods begin, I'm looking for a new baby carrier.

Hey, are you guys trying to drift this thread back on topic? This is now a Honda thread. Go Big Red!!!

I love my adjustable mortgage I'm at 2.125% right now. If it weren’t for the maximum 2% shift per year I would be at the minimum 1.25%. Kawasaki raised the price of their ZX10R by $1,200 this year. This was part of my decision to buy now, when things turn around prices are going to be high.

Don't worry though there is still plenty of time left in the year to buy me a bike if you want to claim two on your taxes. It just would have to be a new one. Have you finally got your man and bike back home or his he still up here messing around with Udell?

Only the new one not the used one.

I don't know how many of you guys looking for a new bike know about the federal tax credit but this might help you make a purchase this year. http://www.amadirectlink.com/news/story.asp?id=740

Plenty of dealers have them advertised at $7,000 but I don't know what kind of fees are added. Honda East has them at $7,250 with minimal fees plus tax. Lorain county tax on that will be $490. I would guess about $7,900 OTD.

I thought it was a great deal, it's more than the Buell deals but it's not a Buell.

Sorry for the new Honda in the Buell thread but this thread started the whole process. I went to the HD dealership to look at the Buells but I guess if you walk in wearing gear because you rode there you are invisible. I wondered next door just to look around, I knew about the $7000 CBR1000RR deals but wasn't ready to bite. I thought I would wait until spring but they had a demo bike with 2,800 miles and they were asking $6,500, sounds interesting, okay what will you give me for the little ninja? (Expecting them to offer $800 to $900 which would have been little enough for me to be able to ignore a deal.) They offered me $1,400 damn more than I expected, I'll have to think about it. I went riding for a while, stopped at another dealership to see what they might have interesting, nothing. I go back and ask to take it for a test ride, no problem, try not to be gone longer than a half hour or we worry. That ride pretty much sealed the deal. OTD would have been about $5,550 so I took a few days to think about it and did some reading about the bike, good reviews; I think I'll make an offer. Blaa, blaaa, blaa bought it today. One year new bike warranty starts today, first service is done and fresh oil change to bring it home with some time this week. (It was raining.)

Jinx has me branded a traitor. Couldn't pass it up needing a bike and all.

Sorry Tony, No Buell rides this coming summer. Lake Erie HD also owns Avon Honda. After I left the HD showroom I wandered next door. Go big Red

Done deal. 2008 demo with 2,800 miles. $6,500 minus trade plus tax, plus fees, tag... $5,416 otd. Goodbye little ninja.

Go riding with Tpoppa sometime, he rides a XB9 which has less HP than the 1125R, you won't be bored. On the back roads in southern Ohio I never thought I needed anything bigger than my old 600. Big HP is fun on the highway and maybe makes you not work so hard on the back roads if you don't scare yourself to death. I'm heading to Avon today to see if I can get them to up their offer for the Ninja 250 trade-in, they offered me $1,400 earlier this week.

I don't have those phone issues I has a BLACKberry. It keeps all my white brothers numbers.

I don't see you needing one of these as you have stated more or less a lateral move. I don't know why you need the SV when you have the Busa they are really good on the back roads and mucho comfy. I'm sure from Millersburg to Coshocton I would be faster on a Busa than I was with my old 600. I have put 15,000 miles on a Busa and they just fit me well. That being said I am without a road worthy bike at the moment so I can look.

I have just discovered that the 08 1125's don't have spool threaded holes but the 09s do. I have heard there were changes but what else? Who want's a 2006 Ninja 250 3,400 miles? I sold my other two bikes last week and all these deals are buring a hole in my motorcycle budget. I gave Udell your number yesterday but I made him promise not to text you.

Oh no you won't that would cost $0.25 Justin can't spare that kind of change for a picture.

Cops lied people died

I went to LE HD to look around while out riding on hookey Wednesday. I need to sell the little Ninja 250 who's looking?
