Is this a good deal ? I already own an 03XB9S. Stealership has a demo 1125R with approx 250 miles and I can get it for 6k out the door. It does include the standard (2yr ?) warranty. I can pay cash and plan on keeping both bikes, I just don't know how bad the insurance increase will be. |

I say it's a good deal, is it an 08 or 09 |

I honestly couldn't remember so I had to call them back. It's an 08. And I don't know if it makes a difference or not but I think it's some kind of signed and/or limited edition. Has Eric Buells signature on the top of the handlebar clamps. |

That's an 08. It was the 25th anniversary. All 08's had those stickers. People get insurance quotes all over the place. If that is a concern for you I'd start getting quotes. If the bike calls to you, makes you feel like you have to tear yourself away from it to leave the dealership, just give into your lust. |

Yeah, Thats how I was with my xb9s. I just had to have that one, but I was foolish and took a beating on the price without even knowing it. But it's ok. I'm gonna keep that one long enough to be buried with it. |

Nooooo Bill, that's a horrible deal. Give me the dealer's name so I can call them and let them know. |

Too late. After calling geico at 8am I called the dealer at 9:15 to put down the deposit and it was already too late. I totally screwed up by not putting the deposit down on saturday. I'm such a knucklehead. But I let the dealer talk me into a red 09 1125r. Wasn't such a great deal but I can live with it. Pick it up saturday. |

Odd ball - What a perfect way to describe my buying experience! If the bike calls to you, makes you feel like you have to tear yourself away from it to leave the dealership, just give into your lust. |
