How about some prices? Those bikes have a lot of miles as well.

Re: Which would you choose??

I would not get carried away. Remember you can go to the dealer and buy a 750 for around 8000. I have seen 954 going for under 8000. Those are new bike with zero miles on them. I bet you could get out the door on an 2003 bike for under 9000. Just a little food for thought also if you want to buy a new stay away from Great Mistakes. They will over charge you and hardly ever give anyone a good deal. I would suggest wheels in oxford.

I have a friend at Metro Powersports who can hook you up with an '03 954RR for around 8,000. Can hook you up with some financing too.

Re: Which would you choose??

About the new bikes, no way. For one I can't afford $8000, plus if I finance it I have to have full coverage insurance on it. I do like to spend money, no lie there, but this time I know I can't afford that.

Re: Which would you choose??

Yeah that is always the problem I have.... But i just wanted you to be aware of what you can get out of the dealers. It should help you when you choose how much you want to spend total on one of those bikes.

Also here is spot to check out the blue book values of these bikes. I would not buy over what that site says personnally. http://www.kbb.com/kb/ki.dll/ke.kb.bz?kbb&&&zip;2139

Just make sure you check the bike out before you give the guy any coin. Check Steering head bearings, swing arm bearing, all parts of the frame for cracks, and I would check the quality of the oil in the bike. Hate to see you buy a bike and put $3000 into to it to fix it up.

Good Luck Bro...

Re: Which would you choose??

also check the steering stops for damage. Damage indicates a bad tank slapper at one point. The blue bike was definately wrecked at one point.

What about a Harley Sportster, I've heard they almost hit 60HP now. For an extra $4,000 in parts you can probably get 65HP out of it.

I don't know, he sounds pretty smart to me. Don't buy a Buel buy a Honda. Best advice I've heard all year.
