What's with the prices on these things?I keep seeing used ones with varying mileage for right around $3000.00.A NEW one is $2999.00.What's the deal?

 

Doesn't make any sense to me, used ones should be lower in price than that

 

alot of people are posting there bike for sale, at the loan payoff value.

 

The MSRP on the bike is $2999, but if someone has only had the bike for a year or less, they are trying to recover the tax and tags, and the more significant dealer charges; some charge as much as 600 for freight and assembly. That's why I'll never buy a brand new bike. There are just too many good deals out there on bikes with under 500miles. I got my 2005 250r march of this year with 500miles (mint), purchased an extended two year factory warrenty and still came in under three grand.

 

I just picked up my 06 250r today! Unless you live in a bigger city, or have close access to other kawasaki dealers in your area, you may end up paying close to $4,000 after EVERYTHING is all said and done. that does also include taxes and a year of full coverage though. my problem was that the 06 250r i bought was the last one within about 500 miles from me. I know because I called every where! the dealer I bought it from also knew this. and because of that, there was really no bargining power on my part. (I guess it doesn't pay to buy a motorcycle only months before the 07's come out) what the dealer got me on, was document fees, shipping, setup, and finances. Just prepare to spend around a thousand $$$ more when EVERYTHING is all said and done!

so that's why you see people selling used bikes for close to msrp. I know, it really really sucks
