Anybody want a Gixxer 1000 in SoCal?

This guy seems to have made a mistake:

2012 GSXR 1000

"I absolutely hate this sport bike scene."

Buying one of the more potent sportbikes out there would definitely qualify as at least a slight miscalculation if that's the case.

:squid:

Actually, I suspect he got basically raped by the dealer (that one sucks), sold accessories and fees he didn't need and probably talked into a bike that was wildly inappropriate and possibly couldn't really afford. Sadly, there's no way he'll come close to recovering what he put in.

Man that's a great looking bike but this is exactly why you research this kind of stuff to the fullest.

Nah, I'm good thanks. Appreciate the heads up tho...

"They will kill you with their stupid destination and handling charges and reconditioning and bullsh*t." This is interesting, coming from a "harley" guy, who has apparently never bought a bike from a Harley shop... My FZ6r had tax, title and reg, and destination. That was it. None of the "set up" fees. One of the reasons I opted for the FZ6r and not the Harley I was drooling over.

Talked to a guy recently who got out of riding cruisers for years and got a liter. Kind of the same thing happened. Big twins are a totally different to sports bikes.

Poor guy. Nice GSXR though.

part of the problem is that dealers usually dont let you test ride a bike before you buy it, so you really dont know what your getting into

"I purchased this bike in April, thinking that a 1000 was the perfect started bike for an old Harley rider. I was wrong. I absolutely hate this sport bike scene. "

Well, the "sport bike scene" does have its annoying, obnoxious peeps (usually squids). Same goes for harley riders.

You can be a old Harley rider and be very uneducated about other bikes. I talked to a Harley vrod owner and after telling him I'd like to one day work up to a r1 he proceeded to tell me how his vrod would tear up a r1 because he had 250cc more than that bike. This guy bought a bike not knowing what he was getting himself into and now someone else will benefit from his lack of knowledge.

it is a nice bike, but i would pay 12G's for it. I could just go to the dealer and get a CBR 1000RR for 11 G's no miles
