GSXR750 is silly cheap, talk me out of it

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

0% finance over 4 years.

£9699

+ R1 trade in. It's like £150 a month. Bargain.

Can't argue with 0% finance, 4 years is a long time though. Wait, are we supposed to talk you out of it or encourage you?

(Do it)

I detest finance and think buying new is silly...................... yet I am sorely tempted by this.

Do it

[Fin]

what do they give you for R1 (bet they rip you off)? R1 is good bike yes? GSXR's are for gays. it's not okay to be gay.

Did I do a good job?

[Jmh600]

Having both owned an r1, and a gsxr600 (plus loaned a new 750 for a month!)..... DO IT! Why is it not in your garage already?!

Depreciation, in 4 years worth 4k?
9699 - R1 = 7200 quid
÷ 4 years = 1800 quid a year

Residual value 4k to drop into an electric bike, as by then petrol will be killed off by the green tax agenda.

That gives £2.5k for the R1. Your profile says 2005 R1. Surely that's worth at least £3.5k?

I'd be looking at £130 rather than £150 per month over 4 years to get a suitable value for the R1, otherwise you may as well sell that privately, which shouldn't be hard given that the sun is starting to shine now.

In 4 years time, you'll realise (as everyone else has) that you're too old for a sportsbike and wishing you'd got a GSR750 ABS for £2K less instead.

If its only 2.5k for the r1 I'd buy that

I can't talk you out of it as I've just put in a request for finance on a year old one at £6750 with under 1k miles.

Unsure if dodgy or retarded. Guy has 4 bikes all advertised as 'in use daily for commuting'.

I'd be happy with a seller claiming it was a daily commuter if it was in regular rotation so being run 1/4 of the time. That's more a daily commuter than a garage queen. However, this one is apparently in poor condition, he claims there aren't any out there as bad as this:-

I'd rather have the R1 and 150 quid extra a month to blow but that's just me and probably the reason I've had an old fzr for 10 years.

I'd rather have a mint 98-2001 R1 that is probably appreciating slowly and save the cash for something else. A 150bhp 75ibft litre bike sounds more useful than a similar power 750cc that is in no man's land today capacity wise.

Each to his or her own, but anything on 0% interest makes new purchases seem more acceptable.
