their prices are way too high. and they dont want to deal.

i was considering one from there and am glad i didnt.

i got my 06 SV with 1600miles on it for cheaper than they wanted for an 03 SV with 16K miles on it. and they wouldnt come off the price at all. said they would "go over it" for free though.

I bought my 90 Ex500 from them and I will just say this: buy with extreme caution from them.

They are indeed incredibly shady and unwilling to take any sort of responsibility for their own negligence. Case in point: I bought the bike in April of 2007, being much too excited about owning a bike to know what to look for in terms of potential problems with a motorcycle. The bike had 11,000 miles on it and the fairing was pretty much fubar: no side panels, jacked up rear piece with taillight encasing and a jacked up after market front fairing. I paid 2,000 for the bike under the conditions that Frank Ferri (watch out for his shadiness) give the bike a full tune up and let me know if anything else needed replaced. Let's also not forget that the shady ba#tard tried to tell me that the mufflers that were on there, some pos Cobra F50s were worth 500 dollars. So, I show up to the buy bike and practice in the lot for a bit until I decide to practice riding down some local side streets. Within two minutes of getting into a ghetto neighborhood, the bike stalls out and will not start up again. So, I call them from my cell phone and Frank answers and says that I probably ran out of gas. F*cking a##hole has the audacity to neglect to mention to me he didn't put any gas in the bike, nor did he offer to bring me gas. I had to go door to door in the ghetto asking to borrow a gas can, and walk two miles to the nearest gas station. So then, within the second week of owning the bike, the clutch cable snaps. I was livid and called asking him how he expects me to believe that this thing would snap in less than two weeks of ownership, especially after I specifically asked that he look over things that might be in need of replacement and let me know and I would pay for the m from the onset. So, I have to pay to have the bike towed to their shop and he wasn't even willing to fix the cable for free. Cost me 20 bucks (keep in mind I've learned a great deal by now, and can do this myself). He replaces the cable and then two weeks later the thing snaps again. I'm completely bewildered at this point and I file a complain with the BBB. In the meantime, I replace the clutch cable this time around myself and it's been golden a year and a half later. Never had anything resolved via the BBB other than them getting a permanent bad mark.

Sorry for the long story, but after all the help I've been given by members of this forum with my bike, I couldn't stand to see you get screwed. Tread carefully.

A gentleman I work with had a bad experience purchasing a sportster from them. It didn't have any gas in it (well it ran out before he got to the gas station) when he bought it. Carbs needed rebuilt, belt broke with in 6 weeks of ownership, Same deal as above.

matty, I am gonna bet he just swagged a new end on your cable. which is fine if it is done properly with the correct size slug and crimp.

Again keep your eyes open.

Total spook house full of butchered motorcycle carcases in the front (Old School).

Back part full of shiny junk just like the thrift store up the road. Inhabitants soulless.

I mean Craphole full of overpriced junk, unfriendly employees etc., but its fun to go in and look at all the beaters.

I will be.

Are there any ZX10 know it all's in the house that may be free sometime to come look at it with me if I do? Someone that will be able to tell enough about it that If anything does crap out it would cost me a ton & I would not have to take it back there to get them to "fix" it

$7900 for an 08 isn't that great a deal. Especially from a place known to be shady. Who knows what they might have done to that bike...

Basically, if you look hard enough, that's pretty typical in price. There are a LOT of owners who probably are upside down on their loans and are asking too much for their bikes. I've seen 07s being asked for $8500. That's retarded.

I'd ask for a CarFax report on it at LEAST. I'd also look around. Remember one thing - the 2009s are here and have been out. That bike is essentially 2 years old now and the older body style. With a lot of dealers having lack luster years, deals are all over the place. Many shops still have 08s on their floors and are asking low prices. Watch the freight, prep and fees BS they try and pull you in with, but you could snag a new 08 for not much more...

It isn't a BAD deal, but again, considering the source, I'd look around a bit more...
