well that's nice, but trade ins work very differently here, especially as while Adelaide is a capital city, it's population is much smaller than Melbourne or Sydney.Any chance of trading in the Harley? My dealership is giving generous trades on well cared for, clean motorcycles.
Understood - Due to the short supply of new machines in the showroom right now, the demand for pre-owned bikes in the US is pretty good.well that's nice, but trade ins work very differently here, especially as while Adelaide is a capital city, it's population is much smaller than Melbourne or Sydney.
People don't go to an Indian or Kawasaki dealership to buy Harleys. The only place that will offer you something half decent will be a Harley dealership, but he doesn't want a Harley.
He was going to trade his MV Augusta Brutale in for his Roadster. The dealer offered $6k. we sold it for $12,500.
When he was going to buy his VFR, the dealer offered $3K on his CB1300. He sold it for $8K.
Sure we could trade it. But I'd probably need to find another $16,000 to make up the difference on whatever he is buying.
Not worth the loss - better to wait and get a decent amount for it.
with no bikes to test ride it really doesn't matter.
yes we've seen that one. I'm quite concerned about how blue the pipes are, suggests she has had that slip on without a cat for quite some time with no tune on it.For $16000 see Jasmine in Marion 5043 she is selling a 2019 FTR base model with 12000 K's on it.
demand for pre-owned bikes here is good too, just not from dealers. they are still offering bugger all.Understood - Due to the short supply of new machines in the showroom right now, the demand for pre-owned bikes in the US is pretty good.
Oh nice, watching closely.so - things have taken an interesting turn.
As you all know, buying a bike is as much about your heart as your head.
Yesterday we went to one of the bike stores to look at a 2nd hand Triumph Tiger 800 XRT that had come in, someone had traded it for a new Tiger and it came with all the panniers & a top box.
Initially he was stoked because he could flat foot it which is very helpful for a top heavy bike.
but he also said he didn't think it looked as nice as the Versys or the Multistrada.
hes also gone off the BMW for a similar reason - after looking at it more, doesn't think it's as nice.
So the list now is only 3 bikes:
Multistrada V2 (or 950S if we find a 2nd hand one)
Versys 1000
and
2022 FTR.
that's right, the person who told me repeatedly he doesn't want an FTR has now added a 2022 in white smoke to his list.
He rode mine yesterday and (his words) 'i instantly felt comfortable, and this thing goes like stink.'
He IS going to be sensible and wait till he's ridden all 3 bikes though, which is proving a small problem.
No Versys available for a test ride for a few weeks. No V2's at all, would need to actually order one and have 'subject to test ride' on the purchase clause.
only a 2022 Base FTR available for test ride but that will be enough in terms of feeling the different throttle response.
so we're still probably a month away from a purchase especially as no-one has called about the Harley yet.
so - funny story......We considered a 2nd FTR but he thinks he'll ride like a loony haha.
not yet.Any luck with selling the hurdley Tash?…![]()
