Took my car to a Yamaha/Muscle Car dealer today...

Since there doesn't seem to be much market on here, figured I'd see if they would trade for what I want, a 2005 R6. IMO for them it would be a good deal, bike retails for $8,100, they probably pick it up for $6,000.

Even trade for a clean high 10 second TR. Make sense to me, maybe I'm crazy.

Anyway, guy tells me it's a "$4500 car". I've been nice to the guy up until this point, when he says this I just laughed in his face. He then proceed to tell me that the GN they have there, (stock motor, TE44, V4, 38#'s, 10", DFI, etc) is just as fast as mine.

Got a good laugh out of it. Time to put the car away for the winter.

Call him back, tell him you're sorry for laughing and offer $4500 for his. See how long it stays worth $4500.

He gave me his card, I should.

Or I should just show up there in mine and take him up on that "my GN is faster".

Run em titles for the bike. That would be interesting.

I'd almost tell him to pick any bike they have in there and I'd wear him out, but they have a few R1's sitting around.

i'd definatlly call and appologise, offer him $4500 for his, or maybe even $5000 so he makes a little on the deal. OR tell him to run them, if he wins you agree to sell him the car for $4500, if you win he agrees to pay whatever you want.

Great bike, but please do not trade your car in on one


Look, in 5 years, that bike will be worth all of $4,500, and you'll just want something else. Bikes develop and change so rapidly, that this years must have bike is next years has-been.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have an '04 R1, but my '03 SV1000 is just fine with me, even if it isn't quite as intense

Here's a pic, just for the Hell of it

I just want something to keep me amused through school until I'm done and can have the time/money to buy another Buick. :)
