 |
|
Just bought my 1st bike w00. I passed my test on Friday, and saw a Suzuki Bandit 650 on a 55 plate for £2995 that I liked at my local dealership. I know it's not that cheep, but I wanted the peace of mind of buying from a dealership for my 1st bike.
It's had 1 previous owner, and has clocked around 5K miles, and is in very good condition.
Should be picking it up on Friday or Saturday, and I can't wait 
Anyways, he is some stock pictures, not that good, but you get the idea :p

I know it's usually a Love/Hate relationship people have with bandits, but there is something about them I really like hehe. |

Nice bike mate. I quite like Bandits myself, great first bike.
Looks in good nick too, but the chain looks a bit slack for my liking.
Have fun with your new machine.

Even to my eye the chain looks a tad slack , get thee some FS365 to keep it looking that way.

Passed Test Friday, bought bike Today, Thats about 4 days then 
I took a week to decide on mine, before I was throwing a deposit on my first big bike.
The Dealers must be rubbing their hands together when the hear the words "Just Passed my test"
Looks like a nice bike though and its a very sensible choice for a first big bike. Lets just hope the weather improves so you can enjoy it

very nice bikes, i had on for 2 months that my insurance gave me due to mine being written off after my accident
even tho it was a courtasy bike i was impressed by its handling and comfort, power is abit on the weak side but wheelies are easy using the bandit
yourl enjoy it untill you want sumit a little bit quicker

Really? Ouch, does that mean you have to pay it off, or are they still paying it off? |
Not sure mate. They may have got it part-ex or something and not been told themselfs it had outstanding finance. I would have done the test earlier, but I was in a rush to get to work, but as I have a late start tomorrow, I'll phone up both the dealership, and also the financiers to see what the deal is. Glad I checked now though, better than a few weeks down the line lol. |

I wouldn't worry about it from losing money point of view. Also I would be amazed if a dealer hadn't done an HPI so it's just probably out of date or something
That's any dealer except DK motorcycles of course
