Nice going Dax, it looks like you scared this guy off before he even bought his bike!!!

I know, soooooo sorry.   

I'm glad I bought my bike before meeting Dax, I'd hate to be walking around Dallas...  [moto] 

[muskrat]

nah, you'd be broke from spending money on mods.

Haha, hey guys.  Sorry for the slow response, I've been on vacation in Mexico the past week. Haven't scared me off yet. 

I almost pulled the trigger on a 2010 white 696 from Oklahoma, but decided against having to deal with waiting for a lien release on the title. Wasn't too bad a price ($7,100), but having to wire money into an account (his financial institution was a bank  out of Chicago with no locations here) not knowing if I would really receive the title scared me off.

I'm gonna be going over to AMS tomorrow morning to see what pricing Marty can offer on one of his 2010 696's.

In any case, wish I could see you guys up at MotoLiberty tomorrow, but I have a bday to attend.

Will keep y'all informed on the bike purchase!

Have a great weekend,

Jasen

Sorry I couldn't make it out today. How was the crawfish boil over at Moto Liberty? Audrey made some great corned beef and cabbage for their St. Patty's Day party last month!

Just an update for everyone, I am planning on going to check out a red 2010 696 tomorrow night over in Murphy. The current owner bought it in December, but has decided to sell it.  It's only got 170 miles on it (Are there any issues that the bike hasn't been ridden much for 4 months?), the current owner has all the original sales receipts from AMS, 2 black keys, code card, claims it's in perfect condition, and he holds the title as opposed to having a lien against it like the other bike (Am I missing anything?  ). He is willing to let it go for $7,500. Is that a decent price or should I insist on a lower price since the 600 mile service (I've heard this service costs a few hundred dollars at AMS?) is going to be coming up very soon?

If any DFWM'ers live nearby and are free to come check out the bike with me (I admittedly know NOTHING about accessing a motorcycle other than the reading I've done online over the past few days), I'd love to have your help!  Hopefully the bike is as advertised!

Have a good one everybody,

Jasen

That sounds fair. Most dealers r asking for about 8k on used 696's. Offer him 7200 and see where it goes. Tell him u r just working the price of the first service in. If u ride like some of us that service will be in about a week.

I live just a few miles South of Murphy but not sure I'd be of any real assistance to you as you're looking the bike over. I've probably seen him riding across Plano Pkwy/FM544 a few times (even 2-up if this is the same individual).
Good luck to you Jasen.

[muskrat]

yep, I'm always up for an adventure. 

[Jasens Deli]

Thanks for the support, fellas. I think having one or two knowledgeable buddies there to evaluate the bike (even though it only has 170 miles) would be a wise idea. I'll be getting off work in Irving around 5:45 or so tomorrow night, so I should be in the Murphy/Richardson by around 6:30pm. Where would you guys like to meet up before then? The owner lives off Renner and Murphy Rd.

Thanks in advance!

I just looked at http://showroom.auction123.com/eurosport_cycle/index.html inventory and they show a new 2010 696 for $7999.   A no issue bike with all the sales/financing incentives may be a good bet too.

Thanks for looking that up for me!  I think I'm gonna offer a few hundred lower than his asking price, because a brand new bike versus a bike that has been owned by another rider for 4 months does make a small, but still material difference (shorter remaining warranty, chance of abuse/accident, inconvenience of having to go register and apply for the bike yourself, etc.).

Oh btw, Muskrat, if you're still interested in coming to see the bike with me tonight, feel free to shoot me a text on my cell phone at 469-544-8706 and we can meet up somewhere before heading to his house.  If you can't make it, no worries. 

Have a good one everybody!
