| well 749er. I cannot see the problem in making public what I paid for my bike....maybe its sour grapes on your part that you didnt do the same instead of buying your kwak...I will not be selling my 749 and shall probably buy a 996 next spring to go alongside the 749...I didnt buy the 749 as an investment, but to ride....just didnt want to pay through the nose for it....dont care if it devalues....I can afford it!   |

ZX6R is a second bike. My 749 is not for sale. Am fortunate to be able to run 2 bikes. Not everyone is and I feel everyone deserves some consideration, especially those trying to sell a bike just now. Have a look at the For Sale section. |

| Bibjo, This thread is a perfect example of why customers should not discuss what they paid for their bike. See my posts further up this thread. It doesn't help anyone at all. 1) The customers that paid more than you originally will be p***ed off. 2) The customers that own 749's and feel theirs has just been devalued dramatically because you forgot what you paid will be p***ed off. 3) The new customers that go into their local dealer and can't get as good a deal as that (for whatever reason) will be p***ed off. 4) The dealers (like me) that feel they are put in an awkward position because of this misguided thread will be p***ed off. 5) The people that are trying to buy used machines and have just been given false hope as to what they can afford will be p***ed off. 6) The customers that are trying to sell a used machine on this forum (or anywhere else on the planet) will be scratching their heads thinking they are over priced when they're not........They will be p***ed off. 7) Ducati Uk and Ducati in Italy (I know they both read the threads on this forum) will be upset! (better not say p***ed off here  )Need I say more? I could keep rattling on here!! In effect, the only people / person that is not p***ed off is you really! That's why it's no so good to announce prices on a global public forum. Remember these comments can be read by anyone on the planet with a PC. These comments can have a very far flung effect!  We all have to remember that, not just me as a dealer. We all love the bikes, that's why we are here. Get behind the brand, we will ALL benefit financially and personally if we do. Well done for securing that deal, you've got an amazing bike for unbelievably cheap money!! However, I feel it better to reassure the buying / selling public that this is not a typical case. I really appreciate your honesty and comments up this thread. It's good to get feedback from all the Duc owners out there. Especially female riders, I wish there were more. (not for those reasons Davie )By the way the dealer is still making a loss there! As I said above there are definitely reasons why this has happened but we still haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet. I'm not saying your are telling porkies here either! I mean there must be internal dealer factors you could simply not be aware of at work. The dealer would have to come on here and explain how they managed this. But is it really worth it? Maybe? I think it best to let sleeping dogs lie and get back to having fun on here, the way we should at all times! Let's leave prices to the showrooms, it's such a sensitive issue, someone's always going to feel their nose put out of joint and none of us really wants that do we?!? Right, it's Saturday morning and we're getting busy, must dash! Everyone have a good weekend! Martin  [Edited on 17-12-2005 by Martin Ducati Glasgow] |
