hi guys,
well, finally got to set on and view a v-strom up close and personal. had to drive an hour and half, but visited a great dealership, met some great salespeople and had a general GREAT time. after visiting a good dozen dealerships all over central florida where everyone seemed to be number oriented it was refreshing to visit a dealership where they actually seemed like they wanted to hear what u had to say and gave their honest opinions and didnt try to bash everyone elses products.
NOW!! the strom fit me perfect!!! its was a 1 k. after sitting on it and looking it over i checked out the price tag, noted it said 04 v-strom. $8999.00. hmmmmm. i brought this to thad the salesmans attention. he said yes they had recieved it from suzuki. it had been used as a display bike at a couple shows. it had 26 miles on it and had a few knicks and scratches on it that thad said it had gotten rolling around the shop, being moved etc.
he assured me i could count on at least $1000 off the retail price and felt like they would go a considerable amount more. i am told the bike has never been titled. other than paint on the frame in a couple paces looking just a tad faded everything else looked spot on. chain looked brandnew, tires still had tits on them except in the part of the tread that actually makes contact with surface.
what do u guys think of this deal? it also includes suzuki factory hand protectors. should i be happy with $1000 off? or should i offer, say 6500? 7000? 7500?
would love to hear any thoughts u guys mite have. oh...i also mentioned the back farting skipping burping thingy u guys mention alot in here. he said if it was problem the dealership would stand behind. the sales man actually was aware of it as he rode a sport bike with same engine...just tuned different. he also had his remapped and it ran alot better. the dealership has a yosh box and knows how to use it.
lemme have it guys!
