2010 SE Green Machine - Did I get a good deal?

dragonboy · May 31st, 2011, 05:42 PM

Hey Folks,

Heart was set on 2010 SE Green Machine, so I finally landed one. Clean title, one owner w/2k miles and tags paid till 4/12. Never dropped, but no mods. Long story short picked her up for $3,200, which was whole lot less than the $3,900 asking price. Anyways, I'm a happy camper and just wanted to get some feedback - good or bad. And yes I've seen the dozens of bike ads for way less w/ton of mods. Unfortunately, they're all outside of CA. Unlucky for me.

Love the forum!

Little_Ghost · May 31st, 2011, 06:59 PM

Sounds like a good deal to me. Congrats!

Thats a good price, Cali prices are pretty high.

Nice buy man! :thumbsup:
I just got my '10 SE 250r w/ 990 miles and 5 yr warranty for $3700.
$3,200 is a steal for these bikes.

Might I ask where ur located?
I see your in norcal as well

glock_19 · June 1st, 2011, 05:55 AM

My 2011 SE was brand new with 2 miles but it cost me $4,700 so I think you got a good deal.

Too40gawlf · June 1st, 2011, 08:55 AM

You got a very good deal. Just a few months ago, the CA mafia on this board was swearing up and down that there was no way a person could get a used new-gen in CA for under 4K. You went an snagged a 2010 for 3.2. Thats a good price in any part of the country.

Green Streak · June 1st, 2011, 09:55 AM

That is a good deal. Congrats! And you got the best color too! Bonus!

Alex · June 1st, 2011, 09:57 AM

The mafia approves. Good deal.

dragonboy · June 1st, 2011, 11:01 AM

Appreciate all the comments. I'm in the Bay Area and as you know bikes are marked-up in Cali and the good deals go fast. Already have a long wish list of mods to-do, including shimming, MGP bolt-on, double-bubble, fender eliminator, frame sliders, etc. so I'll be scouring for used parts.

Hope to keep everyone updated on my progress and thanks for the warm welcome and great ideas. I'll be here for the long haul.

BTW, for the Bay Area folks any local 250 meets? I've been a long time member of BARF when I had my gixxer, so definitely not new to the scene but it's been quite a few years.

slolane · June 23rd, 2011, 08:58 AM

Congrats and as noted above Cali prices seem much higher than most other places so sounds good to me. Enjoy the new ride!!

peachdiddy · June 23rd, 2011, 09:03 AM

Sounds like a good deal, and you bought the fastest color

dragonboy · June 23rd, 2011, 09:44 AM
