I just got wy black/silver 03 with 6k on it for $5000. Guy needed money 2 years before he put it up for sale, though. Got my 98 Gixxer 750 last winter in mint condition for $2k. When you buy off a private party in Il you play a small flat tax based on the year.
I'm sorry, but you have to be a f****** retard to buy a bike from a stealership. You can get them for next to nothing private party. I like how people wait until the spring, too!! I always buy after the first snow. You can waive 50 percent of what they're asking in front of them and they'll bite. I don't see buying them new either. It'll cost you 13K when everythings said and done. That's 13k for something without air conditioning.
