2007 CBR 1000RR LIMITED EDITION REPSOL - $14000

[tanaxo]

I just bought this bike on August 3rd of this year; it only has 60 miles and it is in perfect condition. The bike hasn’t been dropped or damaged in any way and I hate to see it go, but I’ve been presented with a great opportunity to expand my business and I need the money I spent on my bike to do so.

This Limited Edition motorcycle retails for $15,750.00 out the door, but I am dropping the price down for the little miles I put on it. Call me so you can see it and fall in love with this beauty like I did. If you are interested call me at (310)801-9462, but please don’t waste your time or mine with crazy offers.

Bummer...you paid too much dude...nobody I know has paid even close to that for a Repsol...please post the VIN # so we know which number in the special "limited edition" run it is.

I'm not going to make an offer, but people will want to know the VIN #.

What dealer did you buy it from so I can steer all of our Repsol buddies away from the highway robbery you suffered...:eek:

Good Luck with the new biz...RR

[tanaxo]

Actually I got a really good deal this is a 2007 Repsol not a used one. They sell them for much more than that; findout the prices on different deales and you'll see what I mean.

[Big Kahuna]

Not to bust your balls there Cristian, but 14,000 for a used Repsol is still too much even for California. :weirdface:

[O.A. for life]

I paid $11,100 for my 05 brand new out the door in 2005. And when i ordered our 07 it was gonna be $11,995. So ya. . . i'm sorry you got robbed!:o
You might be seeing bikes advertise for that much but not selling.

[mark986]

I know in Canada bikes are alot more expensive than in the U.S. Hard to budge too, especially if they have to order the bike for you (Repsol). Bikes are selling for around what he says. About 15G's Canadian + all the rest of the BS they add on.

[jquick]

i just talked to a local honda sales manager and he said" all dealerships have can mark up limited edition bikes because they are in high demand." for all the other buyers that purchased thier 07's for retail which is $500 more then a regular 1000rr those dealerships sold the bike at list price. but anyways hope things work out for you.

[Sasser]

I paid $16000 + taxes (Canadian) for mine :weirdface:
...would it have been cheaper in the States???

I was to and lived there for about the same length of time. I live in Ipperwash now but people know where London is so thats why I listed London. I think very few know where Ipperwash is :)

[Thomkat]

That's nuts, I paid a few hundred under list for both of mine.

[1eyebrother]

I paid $12,000 total for my 07 Repsol......you were taken.......

[The Doctor]

Hi Tanaxo

You paid way over what most CA dealers were charging out of the door.

The price you are asking is what most people paid O.T.D then the buyer is going to have to pay tax !!!!

You are going to have to lower your price or you are not going to sell it.

Just my 2 cents

To all other members outside of CA....we get screwed here due to the EPA regulations. The only state in the US that has different rules. Can't bring a bike from another state unless it has 4000 miles on it.....WTF as if that is going to change the emissions...........:confused2:

Borofc

[mark986]

Bikes in Canada are expensive.. I got raped too, but I didn't care. I wanted the bike(2005) :D $500 deposit to track one down for me and get it. $16000 +Taxes.. that's a lot man. Should of been like 14 + Taxes if you bought it in Canada.

[krzbrit]

I don't want to rain on your parade...but.... I paid a LOT less than $14,000 out the door, taxes and fees included. And that's in So.Cal.
There are some "dealers" (I use the term VERY loosely), that were asking $15,500 out the door. They still have the bikes in the showroom, waiting for someone to come and get the "last on in the US". HA!!
Sadly, you got ripped, and shame on the dealers, and Honda for allowing this. The old adage "buyer beware" ALWAYS applies when dealing with sought-after bikes, cars ..etc.
I think a good price would be in the $11,500 range, since this would be allow someone to pay the taxes, and remain under the new dealer OTD price.
Good luck, and I hope you don't have to take too big of a hit on it.

Regards,
Colin.

ps...I got mine just 3 months ago when they were supposedly "all gone". Good dealers are out there, I found one. If, for future purchases, you want the name of a good Honda dealer in So Cal, drop me a PM, and I'll be happy to share.

[TX Repsol]

I think a good price would be in the $11,500 range, since this would be allow someone to pay the taxes

I've never posted in someone's "for sale" thread about their price, but since everyone else is doing it...

I paid $500 less than that for mine brand new. I know MEGA is asking $8,500 and it hasn't sold after being on the market for months now... there's no way a bike should bring more money used than it costs most people new.

[michaelarussell]

Man, I hope you sell it and expand your business but you can find them for 10,500 or 11,000 from some dealers and just get the bike shipped to you. Like someone else sadi, I don't think you'll get morre than what 99% of present repsol owners paid for their bike new. Good luck!!!!!

[djalkyd]

not to sound like a jerk but i financed mine and with finance charges it came out to 14300, so i am wondering if you have a clean title in hand or are you wanting the finance charges paid for also?

my bike got stolen so i am looking to get a new repsol. if you would come down to the 11,500 to 12,000 range then I would be interested.

[SIXDOG]

I live just up the road from you bro and I paid $12000 otd. Good luck on your sale and you business venture.

[TX Repsol]

if you would come down to the 11,500 to 12,000 range then I would be interested.

Still more than most people paid new.

Contact MEGA. He's listing his bike on here for $8,500. Buy it and have it shipped to Cali and you'll spend $2,500 less than buying this extremely overpriced bike.

[Big Kahuna]

I think we must have scared him away... :(

[O.A. for life]

I think we must have scared him away... :(

Sad. . . but starting to look that way.:(

[MeanMachine]

Actually I got a really good deal this is a 2007 Repsol not a used one. They sell them for much more than that; findout the prices on different deales and you'll see what I mean.

There is one for sale here at one of the local dealerships for 11,750.00 NEW, 0 miles. Its possible you might find someone like yourself willing to pay too much.

I hope your business sense is better than your buying habits.

[1eyebrother]

I dont think he is coming back.....:confused2:

[MeanMachine]

I dont think he is coming back.....:confused2:

No big loss. The only reason he even joined the forum was to sell his damn bike, no other reason. When he saw we all thought he paid too much he bailed out.

[hondapowered]

Good Price for MEGA"S bike I paid almost 9K out the door for a 2005 with 1500 miles that is with full financing tax, tag ,title. I know that sounds like alot but she had the full SATO exhuast kit installed, PC III, ShoGun crash kit, new pilots, battery minder, and passenger cowl. I have since addded the RIZOMA mirrors, billet grips, proton flush momunts, FE, vortex rear sets, Puig rear mesh hugger, Puig windscreen (chrome orange), and K&N filter.... ROCK on brutha's that guy bowed out quickly HUNGH?

[MeanMachine]

Not only did he pay too much, but swears he got a great deal. Selling bike for a great business opportunity? AMWAY maybe? :D If this is any indication of his business savvy, he'll be filing chapter 13 in a year!

[yamahonda]

Alright I gotta chime in here. First of all, Cali residents, including myself, are usually subject to higher prices. I did a fair share of research for the 07 Repsol...called over 40 dealerships to get the cheapest OTD price, and the cheapest I found was $13,291 at Glendale Honda. Unfortunately i couldnt buy it at that time and it sold.

Honda of Hollywood sold 3 of them for $18,000...I repeat, $18,000!!! And just a month or so ago right before I found mine at Palmdale Honda I gave Hollywood another call and they had one left and were still asking 18k for it. I said "go f*ck yourselves!"

The only other handful of dealerships in CA that still had any wanted anywhere from $14,500 - $16,000 OTD. I bought mine for $13,637.27 OTD and I feel ok about it. At least they gave me the racing spools, seat cowl, and rear stand with it. I think any Cali resident that got their 07 brand new for under 13k OTD is lucky. To buy one for 10.5k from another state wouldve ended up costing the same anyway after taxes and all the trouble, plus you cant bring the bike into CA until, I believe, it has 7,000 miles on it.

[1eyebrother]

That is just crazy....the dealership here has one ( the one I ordered but didnt buy because of issues with them) .. they are asking 10,500 for it right now...shoot I might buy it and put it n ebay or something.....:D

[RepsolRoss]

Bought mine from Honda of Houston in May 07. $10,499 + TT&L, about $11,300 or so OTD I believe. They had 5 more of them at the time.

Hand picked #0906 because it had a variation of 69 in it!

[MEGA]

In New York they are very expensive. around $15,000+ is what you will find.

[OCRepsol]

Maybe he sold it already...:rolleyes:

[djalkyd]

Still more than most people paid new.

I wish I could but the whole smog thing. bringing in a bike from out of state is a lot harder than bringing in a car.

[MEGA]

I wish I could but the whole smog thing. bringing in a bike from out of state is a lot harder than bringing in a car.

smog thing? :confused2:
sorry i just dont understand.
my bike is in North Carolina at the moment ... i miss her so much i might take a drive this week end and pick her up. pluss i wanna put on these sexy flush mounts.

[djalkyd]

bikes in california have to have the plate on it that they meet the CARB standards for the state. Our bikes have the 4.5gal tank instead of the 5 gal due to the charcoal canister and smog stuff on the bike.

if you check the plate on your bike and if it says that meets california smog or carb law then it wont be a problem bringing it to cali.

[O.A. for life]

I am so happy we here dont have deal with all that smog stuff. If the air quality in CA is so important they should put some kind of filtration on all those damn cattle farms down there!! WOW that stuff stinks!!!:wtf:

[djalkyd]

^^^ how long have you lived in st. george? when I was in the marines, we did a joint task force mission in st. george. it was suppose to be a covert mission but some how the radio dj new we were there and announced it so at 6:30 in the morning the next day and ran through the whole town singing cadence as loud as we could. We woke everyone up and they all came out of thier houses wondering what was going on. I thought it was funny as crap, this was back in 94-95. I guess they thought they were being invaded or something.

well the air quality on the beach is awesome, it's when you go into the valley in LA is when it gets crappy.

I just dont understand how they can treat a bike the way they do. they aren't as bad with cars as they are with bikes. at least with a car you hook the sniffer up and it passes then your good to go. there is no way to hook a sniffer up to a bike, well at least i have never heard of a bike being smog checked.

so they wont let a bike into cali if it is not 50 states legal or if it has a certain amount of miles on it.

I have lived here since 95 and i grew up in salt lake. But we lived in so cal for a while a couple years ago for a short time. We lived in hemet, just outside temecula for a year. We spent all our time off down by you and down to imperial beach. And ya i agree about the smog thing, the sniffer says if a car passes but if you dont pass the visual on a bike your s**t out of luck.:rolleyes:

[msalser1000]

You hook a bike up to an exhaust sniffer the same way you do a car. It has a probe that goes into the can and reads air to fuel ratio. If it doesnt meet a certain standard it will fail. Its the same way the tell when mapping your bike on a dyno they are trying to get thge optimum burn ratio.

[djalkyd]

I called around to a lot of smog places here in san diego and orange county, they all say that they dont have a smog standard to follow for bikes, the only standard is the 7500 miles.

so they dont actually smog the bike at all they just go off of mileage.

7500 miles doesn't sound too bad i guess, seems like it is about 1/4 of the bikes life.

[TX Repsol]

seems like it is about 1/4 of the bikes life.

Heck no man...

If so, my '01 would've died 2 years ago. squidracers '96 would've died 50k miles ago. Big Kahuna's '98 would've died 25k+ miles ago... I could go on an on.

These things live a long time if you give 'em a little TLC when you should.

[tanaxo]

I don't know where you get your info from, but if you call the dealers or visit them you'll see I got a good deal. You can't compare old models or used bikes to a brand new 2007. Moreover, I sold the bike for more than that and I expanded my business; my wife felt bad and she got me a brand new one at the same dealer for $13,000 since we had recently bought the first...ha,ha,ha...:D

[DavesRepsol]

:weirdface:Same Dealer, 2-2007 Repsol's, $13000.00 for another one????

New Clothes for your trip $500.00

Vacation to Europe $6000.00

Buying a 07 Repsol in BJ $2438.96

[bwest30]

for my brand new 07 repsol.. i paid 11,300 otd in july.. when i first walked in they wanted 12,500 plus tax title license & all other fees..

[ogie]

I didn't pay 14G's for my brand new 07' otd and that was with the two bros pipe, PCIII, K&N filter and shogun no-cut slider kit (no cuts, swingarm spools and bar ends). IMO you got took:twocents:

I dont know how many times I have to remind everyone that we who live in California (well, Bay Area and SoCal at least) typically pay A LOT more for our bikes. Thats just how it is here....the price we pay I guess for having the best weather? I called over 40 dealerships in the state before I found the cheapest one I could find which was $13.6K (including seat cowl and rear stand) and I was happy to buy it. Honda of Hollywood sold 3 of em for $18k!! I know thats extreme and ridiculous but most all other places I called were sellin em for at least $15k.....so, it's all relative....$14k for a Cali Repsol aint that bad IMO.

[tanaxo]

Well at the end regardless of the price or the place where you bought your bike what matters is that we all enjoy the ride and looking at this beauty. I am happy with how everything turned out. Not too many wives want their husband riding a fast bike, but my wife loves bikes too. We named our son Gixxer so that tells you how much we enjoy bikes of all kinds.

Good luck to everyone even those that makeup stories, prices and phony ads.

Live is good!!!

Tanaxo :D

[TX Repsol]

We named our son Gixxer so that tells you how much we enjoy bikes of all kinds.

I do hope you're kidding... :weirdface:

even those that makeup stories, prices and phony ads.

I guarantee you not one member here falsely stated their purchase price, except maybe rounding off pennies.

[tanaxo]

No kidding we truly named him Gixxer and we love the name; his first name is Kevin and his middle name Gixxer, but we call him Gixxer.

As far as your guarantee I think it is impossible for you to guarantee something about people you don't even know, but it truly doesn't matter what some people say because I got what I wanted. Maybe jealousy is causing those replies, but again I don’t care because it doesn’t bother me.

As far as the cowboys I am not into those sports so I can’t comment about that; I don’t even know who they played against.

Again good luck to all!!! :D

[DavesRepsol]

Am I the only one who caught that???? Not only did you get hosed once but TWICE, and by the same dealership. Just goes to show you $$$ can't buy common sense.

But seriously It was very nice of your wife to get you another one, I am sure if you loved the first one as much as I love mine you hated to part with it to begin with.....Grats on your new one....:D

[tanaxo]

Hey Dave;

First let me say that it is hard to understand what you are trying to say, but whatever it is we are all entitled to our own opinion; I still think that I got a GREAT deal and I couldn’t be happier with the gift.

I am going to go back to work now because I have better things to do than going back and forth about this. Moreover, it was OUR money and business is going great; we have the money to spend; we got what we wanted and we are happy.

Good Luck & Goodbye!!! :cool:

[DavesRepsol]

Hey Dave;

First let me say that it is hard to understand what you are trying to say:

I am not trying to say anything, I DID SAY IT

Christian,
Don't get your panties in a wad, I am only making light of the fact that you announced on a public forum that you got screwed on your purchase of your 1st 07 Repsol and seemed adamant on defending your overpriced purchase even when people in your area told you that you payed too much. Let me break it down for you:

Pretend you are a purchasing agent next time you decide to buy a bike (shop around).

I know it is your $$$, but my pet peeve is seeing money wasted mine or not.....

I was in no way trying to offend you, but rather make you see a point that everyone else was trying to make also. (but you missed it).

I would be happy to help you get the best price anytime in the future on buying parts or mods for your bike.

I am here to help .....let me know.

[MeanMachine]

Maybe jealousy is causing those replies, but again I don’t care because it doesn’t bother me.


Jealous of? Not throwing away money a second time? Damn, you are right, I sure wish I did that. Wait, let me go withdraw $3000 and burn it in the back yard, and follow up by burning another 2000 a few months later, change my sons name to Ducati, then I can be just like you!

:evilgrin:

The only posts this dumbass has are all here in this thread. Not even in the newbie area or anything to introduce himself. Join a forum just to post a for sale ad. Most forums won't let you post until you have been a member for a period of time and have a minimum amount of posts.

His very first post was to come here and tell us how he would drop the price a little from the 15,750.00 he paid. Then after it was clear he had no buyers dumb enough to bite, he left.

Now he comes back, continues to only post in this thread, accuses members here of lying and making up stories about what they paid for thier bikes (no doubt to further justify the fact that he got screwed TWICE by the same dealer), has a son named Gixxer :weirdface: (and if that is not a joke he needs to be committed along with his wife), and on top of all that he doesnt even like football (or any sports for that matter).

Is it me or is there something seriously wrong with him? :confused2:

So Tanaxo, are AMWAY sales doing well enough you can throw away money like that? LOL

Look guys, Christian leads his own life, makes his own decisions and spends his own money. What does it matter how much he paid, as long as he is happy with the outcome. The bike is worth whatever the buyer is willing to pay, end of story. I have grown accustom to paying more for bikes here in California, when I see them go for much cheaper out of state. It's the way it is sometimes, but as long as the buyer is happy then so be it.

Christian, I hope you decided to stay, especially since you are once again a Repsol owner. Don't let the guys get you down, go out and enjoy your new ride!

[MeanMachine]

BK, you are right about one thing, it IS his money. However, as I pointed out earlier, he joined originally for ONE reason, to sell his bike. His first post was in the for sale section. You KNOW that in almost any other forum he would have been publically hammered by everyone just for doing that, and in some forums, suspended for it. Pretty much everyone, including you BK, told him he was asking way too much for a used Repsol, even in CA. So he got mad and left.

Now he has a new one and he is back. Where does he go first? Right back to this thread to immediately continue where he left off, arguing that he got a great deal. Did he ever post anywhere else but this stupid thread? No. Did he come back and say "hi", introduce himself, ANYTHING friendly or outgoing? No. He did however say people here tell stories, lies, etc. Did he do anything to be a part of this forums community? Again, No.

I for one could care less if he leaves. In fact, I prefer he stays gone. First impressions are everything, and he had two chances and blew it twice (repetition seems to be a character flaw).

He may be a Repsol owner, but it doesn't automatically make him one of us.

I got my new '07 for $11,600 and thought I was getting a little hosed, but it was the only dealer in town selling them and wasn't worth the drive to the midwest to save another 800 bucks or so. That was about 4 months ago.

If you sold yours for more than the suggested retail of $11,999 you found a sucker or a guy with too much money to care.

I know Im a little late here, but I just wanted to share with everyone that I got mine(new 07) last week(Jan 3) for $12500 Canadian. Had to drive 5 hours to get it but that is a great deal. They were $16000 in the spring of 07. Guess it worked out for me to wait.

[BlackWidow786]

F@ck! And here i am sitting debating on an 07 for $9500. :evilgrin:

This is true, you did ask if you were getting a good deal. :rolleyes: Do it man, pull the trigger.

I have to agree with MM on this one. Regardless of the deal or no deal issue he should have at least focused more on joining the forum as a Repsol fanatic rather than looking at our forum as just another Craig's List or Cycle Trader add.

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the whole Gixxer Jr. thing.......:weirdface:

That's what i paid for mine:D

I payed for my Repsol 07 one week ago: 13 000€ = $19 000 :mad:

I think, i must leave germany. :weirdface:

[TroubledWine]

LOL if I paid $15000 for a stock bike...

I didn't like paying $5500 for my 954 even though I knew I was gettin' an alright deal on one of the cleanest bikes 6 years old that I've seen.

$15,000 for a $11,000 bike? Is haggling only a southern thing or something? LOL.

[BlackWidow786]

Yea, it is a genuine Honda Repsol 2007.

Ofcourse i checked that and all with the owner and pictures.

I still have'nt seen it in person yet though, work owns me during the week.

I plan on seeing it this coming Friday, and will make a decision by Saturday between either that, an R1 50th Anniversary or a.....RS250 :confused2:

Hi Guys

Just to put a spin on the numbers, here in Oz you can get a tidy '04-'05 Repsol with under 6000km on it for around $13500AUD ($11800USD), or a new '07 Repsol from around $18000+AUD ($15840USD).

This assumes and exchange rate of 0.88 to the Dollar.


If my numbers are right :confused2:, sounds like you guys get them resonably cheap over there.........of course, I have no idea what the cost of living is or the average wage is.

Again here in Oz, I think it would be fair to say the average wage is $55000AUD/year ($48000USD) and to fill the tank on the Repsol costs approx $15AUD ($13.20USD). - Would other Aussie "Repsolians" agree?

How does this compare with US wages/fuel price?

[hondahoon]

Hi Guys

to fill the tank on the Repsol costs approx $15AUD ($13.20USD). - Would other Aussie "Repsolians" agree?



wank.. try $20/tank + allow another $5 for 250ml of silkolene proboost.. that works out to $25/tank for mine ... & when i am riding hard i can empty that in 90kms (one particular road i enjoy i do this regularly) wanna come for a ride down the brookton hwy with me Ian?

Sorry forgot, you Southerners don't get the fuel subsidy......oh well they dont call Queensland paradise for nothing........;)

On a serious note though, have you ever tried Proma fuel additive, it works out at around $1.20 a hit and I run it in the car and the bike - apparently reverse engineered from the aircraft industry.

I always fill up as soon as the warning light hits so I would agree that at empty it takes a bit more fuel. I seem to get 180 - 200km per tank you say you get - 90km - that's some hard core riding. Hey as long as your having fun right.....

[tnine]

I'm not dispelling what I paid for mine...It would probably make you all :crybaby: :evilgrin:

[repsol78]

Please sit down before reading this... the price for a new 07 Repsol over here:






























$23300 :mad:
That's why for me it's much cheaper to import the bike, even from the US with shipping costs, etc, it won't come near that price!

[Hondaman69]

:eek::eek:WOW:eek::eek:

You can buy a nice vehicle for that price here.

Wow!! That's more than double here..Definately buy it here..It can't possibly cost 10 grand to ship it...can it??????

One thing we need to remember boyz is the popularity=supply and demand.

In Europe and Down Under Moto GP is much more popular then it is here in the States. Now if we were talking NASCAR replicas, holy crap every banjo playing redneck here in the south would own one with spit stains down the drivers side door and fishing poles/gun racks mounted on the back. :evilgrin:

I've had my Rep for about a week and when I rode it to work out of all who came to look at it (and there we're plenty) only 2 of them had any idea about the Repsol Replica and the story behind it. I mention Nicky Hayden, Val Rossi, Casey Stoner, Danny Pedrosa etc. most people go......um......WHO? :confused2:

To which I say..ARE YOU FRIGGIN' KIDDING ME??? :weirdface:

Oh wait, how about Jr. or Gordon, maybe Stewart? Ah, now bells are ringing.

When Moto GP gains more popularity here, so will the prices being charged for the Replica bikes. O.K. I'm done.....I'll get off now.:soapbox:

Well heres a NASCAR "replica" lacks a hell of a lot of the decals that a real cup car would have. Its going

a little more than the price of a Repsol. Looks pretty clean to me too. Im just sayin.....

[TX Repsol]

One thing we need to remember boyz is the popularity=supply and demand.

First off, I'm riding a LOLercopter since this thread came back to life.

Second, the argument above holds merit in some cases, but not this one.

The rule of supply and demand would apply here if the bike were in short supply (we know that's not the case) and the demand were so high that dealers were taking the highest bid for the bike, or there were a waiting list.

My dealership had one Repsol on the floor and SIX sitting in crates upstairs (I took one of those for less than the MSRP for a standard RR).

The fact that most members on this board paid less than MSRP for their bike and this Tanaxo guy paid $5k over MSRP is what makes this thread such a laugh. The Tanaxo guy got ripped off, plain and simple.

But, like BK said, the guy is happy with the bike and obviously feels like he got a good deal, so be it.

[Repsoul]

Good point TX.

Just to piggy back on what you said:

True demand was high in some places but on the other side of the coin there are still brand new ones sitting on the showroom floors that dealers are asking 13,900 OTD or higher. Most of our overseas brethren would give a body part to pay that much where they are because again, Moto GP is much more popular there.

Bottom line, even though he's as happy with his bike as we are with ours, dude still could've found a better deal. Oh well, party on Wayne!!

:banana:nana:

[Chuck]

the million dollar question is though what would you pay for one, sure everyone loves a deal, but .......

assume for a moment you are standing in front a 07 Repsol, brand new, at an auction, 50 other hopefulls around..........how high would you go..........or for those of you more passionate ........hope deep is your love (or your pocket for that matter),

this should be interesting.........

There's a loophole in your hypothetical... I'd watch some idiot pay an outrageous price for the bike at auction and then go to a dealership and get one for less than MSRP. ;):p

And if the bike were going to cost me significantly more than a standard RR, I'd either get the standard RR or plop down the larger amount for a Aprilia Mille R. :eek:

Flame suit prepared --the REPSOL is not worth several thousand more than a standard RR.

[tribaltim]

I just wanted to be part of this thread....:D

[SIXDOG]

I agree that the bike (personally) is worth what the buyer wants to pay but as P.T. Barnum said "there's a sucker born every minute"...we have all been taken at sometime but the trick is to admit it to ones self and move on.

That said....$14,000 is too much.....

[Repsoul]

:flamethrower:TX

Couldn't resist with the flame suit comment. ;)

Ah, yes the debate continues. IF the Repsols were significantly more than a standard RR, aside from the fact that most people here would rip you new one for having a "fakesol", why not just buy a standard and put on Rep plastics? Most people on the streets wouldn't know the difference. Another monkey wrench thrown in to the mix. :D

Not a penny more then $9000 for an 2007 & $7500 for the 2005.

Well i gave the guy my official offer of $9000. He said No. I walked away thanking him for his time and told him the offer is good for 48 hours. :p If he calls i buy it - otherwise if one of you wants i can give you the buyer's info and you guys can go buy it for his list price $11,000 if you want.

Or give me $9500 and i'll buy it from him for you.

Maybe the Repsol is not meant for me, i'm gonna start looking at R1 50th Anniversarys. :cool:

KBB lists the '07 Repsol at $9,645.00, but it's worth what anyone will pay for it. When I was looking for my '05 back in the summer of '06, Repsols were going for $12,000. People who listed their bikes below that, were quickly offered more. I lost one Repsol to a guy who offer $1,500 more than what we had agreed upon. Like it or not, both Repsol years are sought after by those who love them. If you truly found a clean '05 Repsol for $7,000, you should jump on it cause that would be the deal of the century around here.

[xrcrx]

When I was looking at the 05, Houston dealers wanted around 13+. I payed 9499.00OTD at a dealer in Union City Tenn. Great trip and got a new Repsol too. I won't ever sell it!
