honda dealer trying to tempt me away

[r66bby]

had a phone call from a honda dealer last night at about 8pm. Offering me £4000 for my 2007 695, black with red frame, 1500miles, high level termi's, fly screen, crash bungs, excellent condition. Do you think its a good price?

Got £3500 for my 2006 695 and swaped it for a CBR600RR. A great deal for a great bike however, the CBR has awesome power and is much easier to ride. Very Very Very happy with my purchase

It sounds like a good deal, but what would you change it for?

Have you ridden the new Monster? - it's a very different ride to the old one, and you might want to stick with Ducati once you have tried it.

thats what i was looking at. The 08 hannspre or 09 limited edition. 7.5k though

Part ex it for a 696 you wont be dissapointed!

£4000 px for an 07 695 is a very good price. According to Parker's the list price on px is around £3200.

Personally I would still tell him to take a running jump (politely of course... :mand:).

Keep the 695 - it's a future classic and last of the original Monsters.

i might ring up and see if i can be cheeky and get 4.5k for it lol. And if no good ask if its 4k without the high level termi's on

[Seb_uk]

Just double checked Parkers and they reckon the px price on an 07 695 is actually £2470!!!!! Absolutely shocking - definately dropped off a lot!

[r66bby]

oh so 4k is quite a good deal. I know with the offer you get £2600 worth of free gear too, not sure what this is yet but ill ring up and find out.

I paid £4k for my 695 from a central london dealer last august - with 400 miles on the clock. I cant see how he'll get his money back now bearing in mind they'll have to spend time with a mechanic checking it over/giving it a basic service etc before they sell it on, or are they that much in demand?

[r66bby]

i think its the fact that he wants me to buy a brand new bike from his dealership.

[Scootaboy]

well let people know what dealership and if anyone wants a 695 they can offer £3500 for it ;)

Prob right, and still might not go through with it.
I am tempted though as id only need £3500 on 0% for 42 months which is about £84 a month...

Don't do it, you'll become anonymous whenever you park up! Do you want a classy bit of Italian exotica or a run of the mill bike that every Tom **** or Harry has?
