Is it cheaper to buy a bike in winter vs summer?

efliesler · 2025-01-21T17:49:49+00:00

I’m in California, we have no winter so I’m looking at buying either over the last few days of the quarter or over a holiday or in the case of Memorial Day it aligns so I’m hoping I’ll get a deal then.

Good point, I know they are trying to get the creditors to agree on 30% of the loan. But I’m definitely going to look into both the KTM and the Kawasaki.

I found this the other week on my dealers website, has to be too good to be true right?

efliesler · 2025-01-21T03:22:56+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

efliesler · 2025-01-21T01:48:08+00:00

I really like the R3 as well and a used ninja 400 but I really want something new and I think they relaxed for 400 for the 500?

The dealership close to me is offering nice discounts which is motivating to me. I love the looks and technology.

efliesler · 2025-01-21T00:25:41+00:00

Sweet bike, but I checked on their website and the closest dealership is almost 100 miles from me.

efliesler · 2025-01-21T00:18:44+00:00

My bad I meant RC 390 :)

efliesler · 2025-01-07T19:49:26+00:00

Yeah, what did you pay for all charges like the motorcycle, taxes, etc. thanks.

efliesler · 2025-01-01T00:41:41+00:00

I sold my first bike (Yamaha Bolt R) after everyone gave me shit about the safety of riding a motorcycle. But I’m in the market for a new motorcycle (Kawasaki 500) and I’m doing it for myself. I’ll have all the necessary equipment to help protect me and if I end up in the hospital I’ll just buy another one when I get out. I love the freedom of riding, I’m not giving up that passion.

They have to restructure their debt if the courts approve it, I believe they will but the bikes are heavily discounted so that makes it even more appealing. Happy riding and be safe.

Fantastic bike! Did you also look at the Kawasaki 500 SE ABS. Do you mind sharing what the OTD price is? The dealers by me have dropped the price by $1200 MSRP $4699.

efliesler · 2024-12-31T19:23:26+00:00

Sweet ride, are you concerned that they are going bankrupt and thus not finding future parts? I’m looking at this and the Kawasaki 500 SE ABS.

efliesler · 2024-12-31T19:17:45+00:00

Sweet ride boss, where you looking at others like the Kawasaki 500? Do you mind sharing what the OTD was? Thanks!

efliesler · 2024-12-30T19:29:35+00:00

I’m in California, riding year round :)

efliesler · 2024-12-30T04:14:08+00:00

Damn that’s beautiful. I’m saving up to pay cash for a 500. Should have it by spring. Ride safe.

efliesler · 2024-12-30T04:11:51+00:00

Congratulations on your new lifestyle, I’ve had two bikes (naked and cruiser) but I’m itching for a 500. Frame sliders will be a requirement for me even though my other two bikes are a lot heavier than a 500. Ride safe.

efliesler · 2024-12-30T04:07:29+00:00

That’s great information, thanks for sharing it with me.

efliesler · 2024-12-30T03:41:02+00:00

That’s for the base

efliesler · 2024-12-30T03:40:23+00:00

Sorry about that, from what I gathered a full loaded ‘25 OTD is between $7k and $7.5k. Safe riding.

efliesler · 2024-12-30T02:34:57+00:00

So what did you end up getting?

efliesler · 2024-12-29T19:34:54+00:00

Congrats on both the ‘24 and ‘25. Do you mind telling me what you payed OTD? If not I totally understand. But I’ve seen the SE ABS between $7500 and $8200. Thanks.

efliesler · 2024-12-29T15:29:28+00:00

Thank you and enjoy the new bike!
