Tell me about it..based on forum discussions from roughly a year and half ago I was really hopping a relatively low mileage 1299S could be fetched for 12k by now. Bloddy things still only 5k below the new price... If you really like V4s, buy a 1/2 year old GSXR and sale it next January for a end of 19 V4s...
Nice one here with less than 1000 miles. https://www.ducaticoventry.com/page...e V4-0cc/2c9299d2683831f20168388f8d424156.htm
Nice bit of kit that and a decent price, might be worth a look. How many owners has it had? Services? I've got an S1000RR at the minute so easiest option is just keep that a bit longer. Is a possibility I guess but I know nothing about them at all! Lovely bike mate but need it or not I want a shed load of power, coming from an S1000RR the 959 will be lacking for me.
i dunno....you are the one with the deposit on one... from one perspective it appears they weren't kept very long...why? secondly there are several out there to choose from spec price dealer history warranty work history..
Don't get your point at all mate? I think I'm going to call them in the morning and see if he can persuade me round, but my gut feeling is that it's a bad way to start a new purchase, especially so much money on one.
I haven't gone blind yet mate so won't be buying a 999 Had a deposit on a new RR but taking too long to get them here I cancelled and bought the V4S!
There’s a lot of info available on-line plus quite a few of us on here have them. They can be quite scarce though so be prepared for a wait if you decide on one. 200+ hp, 100+ ft/lbs easiy available. A bit of a handful but not as much as some like to have you believe, I’m gonna be tracking mine mainly this year, to stop me abusing my 999R so will have a better informed opinion on the handling later on I hope. Starting prices from around 18k in your money, plenty of aftermarket goodies to further empty your pockets!
if its my point you did get 1 why have so many v4s become available so soon after they were new? Are others as pissed as you about the re calls? Do they not like the bike? or 2 there are lots available to do and choose another v4s at a better deal potentially?
Oh I see what you mean now. Good point I guess, but equally there's more 1199 / 1299 for sale. Had to get any kind of proper opinion unless you know all the sales figures to compare surely? The deal I got was very good to be honest, all of them for sale are very similar so not going to get a 'bargain' to be honest.
