Started getting worried in case someone takes the bike before me! Smile

Its a 2010 Transalp, 257 miles on it. Dealer is a main Honda one.

That looks like a fair price, but bear in mind that new bike sales are in freefall at the moment, so they'll be keen to shift it.

Do you have a part ex? If not you'll be in a better position. How much they'll drop is dependant on how much they have in the bike. They may be able to drop £500, they might not be able to budge an inch.

IMO you should ask for a fair few things.

Ask for warranty.
Ask for a free service.
Ask for a free datatool alarm fitted.
Ask for a good chain, clock and disc lock.
Ask for a free seat cowl.
Ask for some free gear.

Ask for the price to be dropped by another 300 quid.

Thanks so far.

Will I be in a weaker position as I'm potentially going to secure finance?

The only downside, which I might try and negotiate with is lack of ABS, which I wanted...

No trade in as this is my first bike. Smile

Also I amhaving to negotiate this over the phone... so I will want free delivery too, but can't imagine walk away works that well, ptting they phone down does it?

Did that to a prick from george whites the other day that said 'Hornets' are a pile of crap and that ABS is shit.

I have only experience ABS once on a ER6N when I did my test. Yes it did not lock up, but it took longer to stop, which gave me a minor on my mod 1. Infact I had trouble braking in a short distance throughout my practice of mod 1 which my instructor said it's the ABS.

I do not know if it works well on other bikes, but I don't mind locking up or juddering my Ninja 636, it's like a woman who pinches you to keep you aware of what you are doing.

Delivery is another matter. You will not get that for free.
