CS Dungeon
Well, not been online in a while as I have had a lot of personal s**t going on which I dont really wanna go into, best way to deal with it all.................Buy a bike and ignore it all:approve:
Bought the bike late August, but couldnt get my DAS booked ill 7th November. Only ever rode a 125cc before picking up this beaut:clown:
Now onto my bike...........the criteria was:
I wanted 600cc's
Sports
Ideally Yam
Different
Newer then 2003
£4500 Max
The choices were:
Yamaha R6 (Obviously with my uncle owning a Yamaha Dealership)
Honda CBR600RR
GSXR600
Kawazaki ZX636
Ducati 748 (Put off by extortinate running costs but a dream bike that I will own one day)
Trawling the web for a couple of days, then I come across Webbs Yamaha in Eye (Peterborough) who just so happened to have everything bar the Duke.
Off I toddle with the cash in the bank.
We get there and infront of my are all 4 bikes lined up next to each other!
1st up was the Kwak 636 (03 plate, 6000miles, met blue and £3800) - Immediate impressions was that its one ugly mofo from the front and the tank is really pointed and would be a pain in the crown jewels under heavy braking
2nd bike was the CBR600RR (05 plate, 4000miles, red and £4400) - These are big bikes, I felt like I was being swallowed up by the fatness of the bike, I felt i'd look an idiot riding it
3rd and what happened to be the final bike (what Gixxer lol) was something which ticked everybox bar the £4500 max
Oh, and i now definately believe in love at 1st sight.
2007 (Very late registered 2005 shape) Yamaha R46 Rossi Limited Edition No 907
1100 Miles from new
2 Owners
Manufacturers warranty until may 2009
100% completely factory original bar the oil and filter change at 1st service
Minter then a mint thing
£4900
After a bit of haggling I got the bike for £4600 and the dealer stuck a full years tax on it for me (£49) so in theory I paid £4552 cash
The deal was wrapped up in 10 mins from 1st setting eyes on the bike, like I said, I didnt even give the Gixxer a look over.
As I was walking out the shop the sales man (Chris Davies..very nice chap) came running over me and said did I want it delievered with baffles in our out...............OUT please
I will hopefully be able to get her out of the garage and give her a polish over the weekend and apply some Zymol wax to the panels and wheels over the weekend and will take some better pics, until now you will have to make do with these dealer pics
For those that dont know about the limited edition R46 take a look at the differences and spec here http://www.ma.org.au/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Current7&Template=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=4426
Any questions, feel free to ask away
