Costco Hooked It Up

Jiggles · February 15th, 2012, 04:34 PM

So I went to the dealer that costco provided for me to check out the 2012 Ninja 650. I had no intention to buy, just wanted to see the price. Based on what other people have bought these for I was expecting to get a price around $8,600 OTD on a $7,499 MSRP bike. The original price of the bike with all the fees and stuff at the dealer is around $9,400 OTD, that's of course with no haggling. Through costco, they cut the MSRP down and also waive all the crate and setup BS fees. So I paid $7149 plus tax came out to $7,900 OTD PLUS I get a $250 gift card to costco. So real cost to me is $7,650 for a transaction that took around 30 minutes total to complete. Considering that the price was quite a bit lower that I was expecting I also opted for the 5 year Kawi warranty. I get to pick up the bike tomorrow and will of course post pics.

If anyone has been wondering about buying a bike through costco, I highly recommend it. It's a fast and effecient process.

Update: This bike definitely serves its purpose as a commuter. The seat is so much more comfortable, angle and what its made of. The 250's seat feels like wood compared to it. If I want I can sit straight up on the seat, slightly leaned over, or fully tucked. It has an adjustable windshield which is epic. The gauge cluster is awesome. It displays current MPG's, Average MPG's, Range (shows how many more miles you can get out of the tank) A clock (**** YES A CLOCK!!!) And a very accurate fuel gauge. Tucking is pretty comfortable and increases MPG's by 7-10mpg. The bike also has a passing light which is useful for getting drivers attention. The throttle is SOOOO much more responsive compared to the 250; to the point that I'm having trouble shifting smoothly on it lol.

I feel alot more stretched out on the 650 which is nice. Compared to the 250 where I feel very compacted and low to the ground, its not a bad thing but it feels much more aggressive (perfect for the twisties???) The torque and power of this bike is incredible. 6th gear feels like 3rd on 250. Passing on the freeway is incredibly easy now. It has a hell of a lot more power than I need and I'm still afraid to go WOT in 2nd. I'm also getting the same mileage on it that I was getting on my 250, go figure. The bike also has an economy mode which tells you the optimal throttle position for maximum MPGs. Basically if the eco is off then you are using too much throttle, if its on then you are using the 'correct' amount of throttle. The rear seat looks way more comfortable than the 250s so hopefully it won't wear out girls bums before I can get them to my house.

The 650 is quieter than my 250. I have an Area P Quiet Core on my 250 which didnt make the bike too much louder but I can tell the 650 is quieter which is nice. Between 1-3k the bike sounds like the cars from the Jetsons, and I always hear "His boy elroy!" in my head. When engine braking the bike sounds like a turbine powering down, epic.

Racing cars on the street is no longer fun since it's not a challenge. On the 250 they had a chance at beating me, now, theres no competition. Sad. Also riding without heated grips is like sucking a bag of dicks, its a terrible experience, so I ordered a new set along with a relay kit. The fender is ugly, I'll probably chop it off soon. The mirrors are alot smaller than the 250 but they are convex. I no longer can see my elbows, but I also cant see behind me, meh. The bike is raised up off the ground significantly more than the 250 which is kinda more comfortable for me but also feels kinda odd. Also, the angle of the handlebars isn't the same as the 250 so it's taking a little getting used to.

All in all, I love this bike, its been completely redesigned from previous models with a new frame, forks, handlebars, gas tank, gauge cluster, windshield, tires (these tires ****ing rule) engine, and fairings. Also the r has been dropped from 650r which must be the reason that the insurance is so cheap on this bike. I'm paying about $200 less for the same coverage on the 650 compared to the 250r. This bike can be easily converted to a sport touring and will also be super fun in the twisties. I'm really glad I picked the Ninja 650.

Jiggles, I hate you. That is all. Okay bye.

Enjoy the new bike! I really like the riding position on those 650's super comfortable!

nickjpass · February 15th, 2012, 05:17 PM

Came at a perfect time right? Do you REALLY need that warranty? I heard it's not worth it. I'm glad you got a new bike. You had a really long thread on it!

Full coverage insurance is going to be $206 a year, yes that is less than what my ninja 250 costs with liability and comprehensive, no I have no idea how that is possible.

nickjpass · February 15th, 2012, 07:38 PM

This should answer your question

Mountain Dew · February 15th, 2012, 09:57 PM

Oh, I guess it varies by location. The only automotive service they provide here is new cars.

Jiggles · February 15th, 2012, 10:02 PM

Looks like it is only Kawasaki though. Bummer?

Jiggles · February 15th, 2012, 10:38 PM

Costco actually referred me to a dealer, I didn't get it from costco lol

ajcadoo · February 15th, 2012, 10:46 PM

I wonder if this deal is good for 250s...

I looked on the Costco website and of course the only model not listed is the 250:

https://www.costcoauto.com/kawasaki/default.aspx

Jiggles · February 16th, 2012, 12:09 AM

When my mom bought her car through costco she haggled with the dealer to go even lower than the costco price so good luck to ya

massacremasses · February 16th, 2012, 07:27 AM

LOL

I looked up what my costco sold

It said pick what you want.

and only had utility vehicles. hahaha oh the joys of living in an agricultural area...
