New 300 owner!
Made a call to a dealer yesterday asking about the price of the 300. Dealer told me I'd have to go down there to talk numbers, so I took the trip down there to go check out the bikes. Long story short, I ended up leaving with one. Feel free to hate, but I think the white is the absolute best looking color ever. I'm pretty excited to have a bike again. And best part is that this bike is really my bike. Picked it up with 0 miles. I am the first and only rider of the bike! Hooray for maintenance history! Anyways, I'm sure you all would rather see pictures instead of me go on and on, so here you are!

Awww, congrats! I love the white color as well and think it's the best color too (I wish there was an ABS option for the white). If you do not mind me asking, what was the OTD?

Thanks all! OTD price for this was 6, which I thought was a pretty good deal given the fact that riding season is here in CA.

Congrats!!
I'm actually waiting for a call back from Bert's to see if they can beat the OTD quote I got from Del Amo. Hoping they can do it.

Best of luck! If you don't mind me asking what is the OTD price they are trying to beat? I'm not from Azusa so I actually took a trip down to Bert's and they were super accommodating. They also gave us a better price than what the local dealer wanted. A day after the purchase my rear turn signal bulb burnt out, so I emailed my salesman and he mailed me a replacement. Super happy with the service at Bert's!

^^^No, I don't mind.
Del Amo's OTD quotes: White non-ABS (5,400) Green ABS (6,000) Bert's said that Del Amo's quote was aggressive and they didn't think they could beat it, but they'd try. I also called a dealer in Santa Monica and they guy told me they only have black ones. He told me to call back next week when he will receive a new shipment, and he'll try to beat the price.

odometer at 0 ?
in Australia the RTA ( DMV ) or replace with your local goverment body motor vehicle registry, have to put their grubby hands on it testing. so all vehicles have 11-12 kms on them even if the dealer hasn't moved it a nano meter. |

Grats man, looks good! Couldn't help but laugh a little at the fact that they used the whole "we can't talk numbers until you come here" bit AND that it actually worked and got them a sale but hey! if you're happy with it, guess that's all that matters!

@Aurodox - Did you pay cash or finance? I will be financing if I end up getting it.

The jealousy tears are streaming down my sad little bikeless face.
Congrats! The white ones are absolutely the best color. I sat on a 300 at a bike convention last month and it only made my desire for one burn stronger. |

MHmm.. I'm actually considering one.. too much good reviews. Currently selling my GSX-R600 to a buddy because hes needs a means of transportation. I'm trying to figure if this would be a downgrade or an upgrade.

Depends on why you ride. I live for the twisties. It is a a fun economical bike and will have no problem keeping up with 600cc bikes in the twisties but on the freeway...
Edit: it is a good bike on the freeway it is just not going to keep up with 600+cc bikes going WOT |

Hope this little rambling helps you out. I'd definitely go test ride one if at all possible. I test rode it to see if it could do highway speeds. Oh can it ever. I was doing an indicated 80-90 earlier and the bike was loving it. People also say that the smaller bikes get blown around by wind...While it was windy, especially when passing trucks, I do not understand how a bike can be blown around by wind. Perhaps its the fact that I weigh ~215, or perhaps it's cause I've been on bikes since a young age, but I am yet to have a gust of wind physically control where my bike goes. I'm just always unconsciously countersteering with every little gust that hits me. Hope it helps. |

NewbieNinja! You need to take a 300 for a ride...you will know right away whether or not it is for you. Yes, the 500's are coming and in three different flavors at that...full fairing, naked, and adventure poser......but they are more money and won't have the character of the new 300...........
