| 300 miles and 6800 dollars less................. Im the proud owner of a 2002 rc51 with 2450 miles on it.
I drove up to conneticut last night to look at the bike with my e350 super cargo. I get there and the bike was under a cover... let me tell you this bike is showroom condition. You know when you have a new bike and it makes a sort of whirring sound? well this still had it. the akropovic exhaust isnt even broken in. the bike still has 75% tread left on the dunlop 208's WOOHOO!!
the bike still has the stock lights on it. only mod it has is the exhaust(full akropovic, k&n and a power commander.
I got a cover, tank bra and a disc lock as extras.
the guy was cool but would not budge on the price. funny story, I figured he would take 6500 for it, so thats what i got form the bank. When i got there and gave him the money and said its only 6500 thats all i have and 10 bux in my wallet. he still wanted 6800. SOO I said ok i put my hand out for the money, and i say sorry man thats all i have, get in my van and drive off. I was really driving to the atm to get the extra 300 bux, the bike is so mint it was worth it. so as im driving to the atm(which is like 4 miles form his house. Im holding the phone in my hand hoping he will call. HE doesnt. so after i get the money, i ask would he at least meet me halfway on the 300 and take 6650(split the 300- 150) he said no i wa slike OK FINE.
what a hard guy to deal with, but I dont blame him the bike was very well taken care of and MINT MINT MINT!!! I'm in the process of buying the new model top of the line bell helmet, has mroe ventilation then ANY full face helmet. and im buying a jacket as well!!
I still have to get it insured and registered but im taking my time!!
here are the pics!!! http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../IMG_0166A.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../IMG_0171A.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../IMG_0186A.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../IMG_0183A.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../IMG_0182A.jpg |

| Re: 300 miles and 6800 dollars less................. Bike looks clean. You could have got one with a lot more mods than that for the same price though. Suspension, rearsets, etc.
congrats. |

I doubt it would have 2450miles on it. I mean the exhaust is not even broken in on it. other thing was it had the exhaust i wanted so i paid a premium. |

| Re: 300 miles and 6800 dollars less................. Congrats beerock. I think you got a great deal, compliments of the low mileage and exhaust. Appears as though you got a free license plate out of the deal. Call him back and see if he'll give you ten bucks for it and make it a better deal! |
