2006 cbr 600rrr

ricochet08 · June 29th, 2011, 06:26 AM

Hey Guys and Gals

Donalson's Cycles in my area has a NEW 2006 CBR, and they want $7600 + freight and setup. They lowered it from $8k. Told myself i wouldn't consider a brand new bike again, but i'm really leaning towards applying for it.

NADA shows Suggested List Price at $9k
KBB shows $5,345
that' a BIG difference!!!

Any suggestions on what I can use as a negotiating advantage?

All input is much appreciated

kaiserz · June 29th, 2011, 06:33 AM

+1 for CBR. But 1 question, why would you want to buy a brand new bike when you can get a second hand 09 - 010 low mileage for much cheaper?

If its a new 2006 then they have had it for 5 years and still not sold it. If its been sitting there so long then they are most likely willing to lower the price a bit more to get rid of it. It seems to me that you should be able to haggle them down just based on that.

ricochet08 · June 29th, 2011, 07:40 AM

not any good CBR's in my area, plus it's all Silver and i LOVE Silver

I'll definitely try to haggle em down, I've got no problem saying NO

caps · June 29th, 2011, 10:26 AM

make sure they replace the tires. new or not they cant sell 5 year old tires.

almost40 · June 29th, 2011, 10:35 AM

Not a penny OTD over $6500 and you better insist on an extended warranty. (included in the $6500)

zilaniz · June 29th, 2011, 10:35 AM

That is a horrible deal, 07+ lightly used are going for cheaper than that, and the 07+ is a better overall bike.

ricochet08 · June 29th, 2011, 10:36 AM

Good Point, that should work in my favor greatly

Nemesis · June 29th, 2011, 10:40 AM

If $7600 + Freight is worth buying for you then buy the 2006 CBR600RR.

But I'll tell you right now it's not worth $7600 or $6500. You could pick up a perfectly good used 2006 600RR for $4500 or less.

Personally I would never pay that much for a bike that's 5 years old unless it's a 125/250GP bike.

peachdiddy · June 29th, 2011, 12:27 PM

It definitely doesn't sound like a good deal at all. Search a little farther, you'd be surprised at what you can find for a good price. A little bit of a drive is for sure worth the money you'll save, and more bike you'll get.

I found two left over 09 r6's OTD for under $8K a couple months back. their are MUCH better deals then this if you look around

Fly'in Ninja · June 29th, 2011, 05:20 PM

Test ride the '06

Test ride the '07+

Then decide which one you like better..

I had the '06 cbr600rr, then I rode the '07. Both bikes are different.

Sailariel · June 29th, 2011, 05:25 PM

Not a good deal--keep looking.

ricochet08 · June 30th, 2011, 07:36 PM

Thanks for the input! Imma head to the dealer tomorrow and see what they can do for me. I love the headlights on the 03-06 more than the 07+ but that's just preference.
And the taillight is right under the tail and above the exhaust, easy fender clean up

Sold my ZZR600 yesterday! (forgot to get the damn plate off, but i'll be getting it back)

Wish ya boi luck!

ratlab · July 2nd, 2011, 08:53 PM

i had a 03 -used it on the track but it wasn,t a very good street bike-they had a very peaky powerband until 07-08-i would look at that year and i wouldn,t buy a bike sitting without use for 5 years-and if ever a bike needed a slipper clutch- cbr660rr-watch your downshifts!

KawiKid860 · July 2nd, 2011, 10:54 PM

I feel bad for that poor thing never been ridden... Bad deal though unless they knock off a few grand and replace all rubbers which is basically what everyones already said lol

ricochet08 · July 3rd, 2011, 01:34 PM

sold my 250 yesterday, and when i went to the bike shop they were closed!!!
effin holiday weekend hours :'(

i've been bike-less for 26 hours and i'm going through withdraws!

I bet! I can't stand going 30 minutes without looking at my bike and I've had it for months.

coondog · July 6th, 2011, 08:08 AM

Don't buy a 6 year old bike-in-a-box. Can't believe they've got the nuts to add freight and set-up, which doesn't exist on any new bikes to begin with, all paid for by builder.

Go buy a new car and guess what your charged for freight. Bikes are the same way your gonna pay for it some how.

alex.s · July 6th, 2011, 11:05 AM

freight and setup are BS fees they add to get more money out of you. don't pay them. you can find a much better deal elsewhere. it may never have been ridden but that doesn't mean it's new. its 5 years old. it hasn't sold for a reason. get a good condition used bike and you'll save 2-3 grand and get the same result. offer them 5 OTD or something similar and if they say no walk away. paying more than that is a waste of your money

I have never paid above msrp and taxes for a motorcycle. I have traveled further than neccesary to obtain one, but honesty is a valuable attribute to me.

That's honestly not something to brag about. Anyone can walk in and pay MSRP, try shopping around the entire state to get invoice pricing.

It doesn't matter if you payed 1000 under msrp you still payed for all cost's incurred to the dealer and freight happens to be one.

Plus it was 09 (with the 1000) or10 that they tweaked the midrange and improved airflow on the 600's.

Freight and set-up are already in MSRP, so they can't be "add-ons." The dealer/owner I paid MSRP to made less than $300, and i've been repaid with an honest mechanic and three good friends because of it. Honesty and Fairness are in my vocabulary is all, so is Humility. You can find the definitions in books. Books are where the hide information, so you know without having to ask.
