I really SHOULDN'T since I am in the middle of buying a house and WON'T unless they give me something decent for my BuSA and possibly/probably my Ninja. Id trade them both for it!!!

I am going to say DONT do it! your Ninja and Busa will pull more if you sell them then that dealer will dare give you!!! Sometimes you have to ignore your wants and think about long term benifit! I am willing to bet they wont offer you more than $2500 for both bikes!

Thanks bro!! Yeah, I am not crazy and I have a number they MUST meet for me to agree to give them up. I know I will get more by selling them myself BUT I have never had much luck with such endeavors. It always turns into a huge ordeal and having to deal with sketchy people. I hate to be stupid but I have learned at my old age that there is also a big price for convenience and ease. Dont worry though...i wont let them ring me tooo much.

DeviantTurtle · January 17th, 2013, 08:33 AM

I think you can get 4k for the busa...Just detail it and someone will buy it!

I missed where you wrote you'd have to trade two bikes for the new one. DeviantTurtle is right. You'll get more from a private sale than any dealer trade. Also, it's not like you're without any wheels. You can ride your current ride while you wait for the color you truly:want: Black one.

On second thought, the black one has your name all over.

@LiquidShell - You wishy washy...black or green??

HAHAHA!! Which one should I get????

Yeah, I listened to our almighty @DeviantTurtle. I put them up BOTH on Craiglist and will see what happens. I have already had a few calls on the BUSA. We will see!! I am going to the dealer today and possibly will finance the 300 it if I can (remember I am in the midst of buying a house so I am not sure if they will) BUT if they do that will motivate me harder to sell the two bikes so I can pay off the one and get better gear too.

Sorry for my loonyness but that green 300 put me in a moment of weakness and I wasn't thinking clearly!!

vman1313 · January 18th, 2013, 08:45 AM

@LiquiShell - you riding any this weekend? Its too bad the nicest day is Sunday while the Falcons play =( it would be sweet to get out and ride!!

If anybody wants to or is riding, hollar...I am itching to ride again!! So badly I rode out in the rain for the first time on Wednesday

...and NO I didnt like it!!

I ride everyday and today really SUCKED!!! I was just waiting to hit a patch of black ice on my way to work

Stupid jeep is still broke

LOL @Almighty DT, I am no one special...I just felt you could easily sell the busa for the asking price thats all

Better to have a paid off vehicle over payments right

However if you can get the dealer to give you 3800$ for the busa, a trade in would not hurt so bad

LOL...I'm not sure, the whole bike is like Kryptonite. I think you'll like your choice once you settle on a color. You should get which ever is the result of the best deal.

I'd like to ride, but the weather will keep me close to home if I do make it out.

DeviantTurtle · January 18th, 2013, 10:04 AM

I went ahead and fixed my sig for y'all LOL

vman1313 · January 18th, 2013, 10:11 AM

HAHAHAHA!! Loving the signature @DeviantTurtle...fits you PERFECT!

@LiquidShell - I loved the green cause it was the cool Kawi green...I still haven't seen a black one in person but considering I don't like bikes that are too flashy with a bunch of graphics and stuff all over them...me loving the green is a big deal.

I am going around 3ish and we will see. Where do you live? I may be down in the Alpharetta area on Saturday afternoon and maybe we can just take a quick ride.

Xz1atl · January 18th, 2013, 01:48 PM

Yeah i just did a lil ride around my way... put on some long johns y'll be good to go.

fleemos · January 18th, 2013, 02:32 PM

you guys crack me up.

I would get the green bike, better chance the stupid Atlanta drivers will see you. I can't deny I am biased though, green is to Kawasaki what red to Ferrari is for me. Gotta go green!

DeviantTurtle · January 18th, 2013, 02:58 PM

That green and black combo is just sexy! Dare I say I would be jealous

fleemos · January 18th, 2013, 03:41 PM

Tell Mike to go with Tony, that's a lot of bartering power if two bikes are being bought in one shot.

DeviantTurtle · January 18th, 2013, 03:54 PM

I left work like 3hrs ago. When you picking up you new ride fleemos?

fleemos · January 18th, 2013, 05:28 PM

Who knows I'm still at work and will be working weekends now to solve some big problems we have.

mfresh · January 21st, 2013, 07:05 PM

Where do you fellas normally ride around?

I'm from the Buford area myself. I usually go out riding by myself when it's a nice day (ie. not balls cold) as I have yet to meet any local ninjetters.

DeviantTurtle · January 22nd, 2013, 06:47 AM

Everywhere really, I know March 1st or 2nd we might be having another meet at the dragstrip. Probably middle or end of May I wanted to do a group ride to Pigeon Forge. I know we have been talking about going up to the Dragon

I have been on a few rides with this group now and it has been a lot of fun. If you havnt already, Join the North GA Riders group. http://www.ninjette.org/forums/group.php?groupid=26

Here is my promotional video just in case anyone missed it! LOL

@mfresh - greetings manny!

You should come out and ride next time we all meet up.

BlueJeepYJ · January 22nd, 2013, 08:44 AM

Awesome Video guys!

Welcome Manny! We hope to see you at the next ride!

mfresh · January 22nd, 2013, 05:36 PM

Badass vid! Thanks for the warm welcome.

I am definitely down for the next meetup.

Hope the weather gets warmer sooner rather than later.

vman1313 · January 22nd, 2013, 05:41 PM

I am with you bro...I dont do cold weather riding either. The other day I decided to go out when it was mid 40s...lets just say getting ready took longer then my 10 mile ride. Hahaha brrrr!!!

mfresh · January 22nd, 2013, 05:46 PM

Haha I hear yah man. I am not a fan of the cold in general, let alone riding in it.

Here's hoping some nice weekends come up shortly.

DeviantTurtle · January 24th, 2013, 08:18 AM

So who all wants some riding on icey road training tomorrow???

vman1313 · January 24th, 2013, 08:39 AM

mfresh · January 24th, 2013, 02:34 PM

I've been wanting a chance to practice some wheelies!

LiquidShell · January 24th, 2013, 04:02 PM

This weekend's weather forecast is discouraging

BlueJeepYJ · January 24th, 2013, 04:49 PM

In my neck of the woods its looking like 54*F, partly cloudy with only a 10% chance of rain!

Sunday is not too bad. I have to go in to work so I am gonna ride in and do a few miles after. If anything you do need winter gloves, glove liners and a neck warmer. I have the cheapo one from cycle gear and it works better than another one I got online for 15 bucks more.

http://www.cyclegear.com/eng/product...ers/web1008353

For the 30s I'd recommend this other neck guard they have

mfresh · January 24th, 2013, 05:10 PM

Hope it's not too bad Saturday as I am looking to get my new tires mounted.

Those glove liners and neck warmer look pretty nice. May have to stop by and pick some up.

I don't know where I go the idea that the Fri. weather would carry through the weekend. Saturday and Sunday will not be too bad with some layers or solid winter gear.
