I need a reliable source, you are not considered a source.

Hmm, scour ca.dmv.gov for info for you, or continue watching ghost in the shell. I'm going with the latter, sorry bud

Sorry my jiggles, there's no 2-year exemption. The 7500 mile rule applies no matter how old the vehicle. But - it only applies to bikes that don't meet California emissions. Those bikes that meet 50-state emissions can be brought in no matter what the mileage.

Well that pretty much shoots down the entire business since none of these bikes have over 3k miles on them

I heard dealers specifically say that they bought bikes out of state and made them into CA bikes or ran the miles up to sell them in CA, so it works for some in the biz.

Hint: You really only need to run the odometer up. Engine doesn't even have to be running on these mechanical ODO bikes.

I have to imagine that newgen 250Rs will drop a little in value. Pregens might drop a little too but this is less likely- the price difference is so huge (01 250R for $1500 used vs an 08+ for $3500). Different market IMO.

Regarding the 300...most people aren't walking into the dealer and paying cash they sign their name in a few places and ride out for $104/mo through Kawasaki financing. Even easier if they have already bought a bike from Kawi they have a line of credit and don't even have to apply again.

In that case not many people are going to take the slower, less fuel efficient, carbureted 250R for $89/mo when they can have the 300 for $15/mo more.

I dont think many people get loans for used motorcycles.
