You'll get ass raped trading it in... Talk to the dealers, find out what they'll give you for trade, then mark it up $500 and put it on craigslist. You'll end up much better that way... plus you won't have to pay retarded setup fees and shit...

Yeah tru dat. The Honda stealership here sales their new stuff for like $2k off msrp but sells their used stuff for like KBB +$2k anyways. They wanted as much for a used '05 CBR600 as they do for a new '08 CBR600.

They do that so you have room to negotiate... What's terrible about that shit is the fact that they have room to negotiate off of MSRP... I was thinking about this the other day in the shower...

What if you opened a dealership that was more of a parts/accessories store... say, at The Gap. You make your money and stay alive off of parts/accessories... gear and whatnot... then you sell bikes for very little profit... People buying bikes for cheap, will spend the money they saved on bling, go fasts, and ass covers... If you could get the land and everything right on 129, you could very well have a fucking gold mine...

Thats not a bad idea. You could be walking into debt tho assuming everyone will want just gear and not very many motorcycles. I see your point tho.

The reason this stealership can sell for so low tho is because they sell like 20+bikes a week. Theyre the largest Honda powersports dealer in the U.S. No doubt the prices of their used bikes play a large role too.
