how much do u think a 749 2nd hand, 6000 miles should be?

[Rick]

Not sure of that, but look on Ebay if you want a 749 there is always one or two, Try to get the 749S if you can.

Well, as a kind of guide, I recently paid £6,500 for a brand new 749, got nearly £2k off!

6500 for a new 749! thats a great deal! and all the ppl on this board (chris999) keep saying i should pay 6500 for a 2nd hand 749!

It was a very good deal, but I did manage to get the dealership another couple of buyers, but I reckon, if a dealership still has a 2005 in stock, you should get for around £6,700, just haggle hard, especially if you have the cash and no part-ex...dealers are desperate to sell at the mo. Got termi's fitted at cost as well for £900 fitted.

My advice is to sit down and email every dealer in the country. By the sounds of things, there is a lot of good deals out there to be had if you want a new bike. If you dont ask, you dont get. Its winter just now (if you haven't realised), perfect time to do it.

a new 749 for 6.5K is a very good deal - my concern at the moment is what will it be worth in 6 months ? If dealers are desperate to sell and giving great deals like this will they want a bike in as a part ex and if so i dont think you'll get much for it.
my 749 S cost 9.8K new - at 12 months old and 2.5K miles on the clock I was offer £6500 px against a new 999 !!!!!! thats nearly a 33% loss in one year!

[Bibjo]

which is why you must buy at the best price you can...or you will live to regret it! I know that by this time next year, the 749 will probably be worth £4k at the most!

[megalite]
