jeeps84 04-21-2005, 01:33 PM This morning I got a serious offer from a guy looking for a 998 Matrix.
I love this bike but not the color.
I only bought it because of the deal.
I can sale it and almost brake even. :skep:
He is willing to give the price I paid for the bike new, if I throw in all the extra stuff
Pipes, carbon fiber stuff, street/track extra body and tank.
That would put me just under $2000 in the hole after riding it for over 3k. :skep:
The big decision is I really want the 05 GSXR 1k.
I cant afford both. :sob:
Mudpuppy 04-21-2005, 01:54 PM None of the above. Sell anything you got, go team blue and never look back.. This is what you need:
Pigface1 04-21-2005, 01:55 PM $2,000 in the hole after only 3,000 miles is too much, IMO.
BUT, if you're not happy with the bike, than it's a moot point. I took a big hit trading my 99 auto vette for an 01 stick. However, I was much happier after I did it.
jeeps84 04-21-2005, 02:06 PM Its not that I'm unhappy with the bike.
I just really want the new gsxxer in black.
I sent him a counter offer of the same deal and I keep the street/track body.
Good for a bout $700 to $1k+ on ebay if I don't buy a used Duc.
Gas Man 04-21-2005, 09:39 PM :nopicbs:
Not sure man... regret is a bietcha!!
jeeps84 04-21-2005, 11:17 PM You want pic's
This is my 998 with street/track body and with factory Matrix body.
jeeps84 04-21-2005, 11:18 PM I really want one of these!
desmo900rider 04-21-2005, 11:48 PM Don't EVER sell a Duc unless you have another in the garage. Please tell me you aren't thinking of selling your only Ducati...only to replace it with a Gixxer...c'mon, you're better than that...
jeeps84 04-22-2005, 12:00 AM Nope, I have a Monster too!
If it leaves it will only be replaced with a new one.
desmo900rider 04-22-2005, 12:06 AM good man, then do what you feel is right...I am in a similar quandry right now, have the option to either buy back my 95 900SS, or pick up an SV for the track...but I have 2 more Ducs on the garage as back ups...
Decisions decisions is right...
Gas Man 04-22-2005, 12:31 AM Jeeps...it makes no matter to me... I was looking forward to taking off on your Duc when you weren't looking when at the GAP.... but I guess I can do the same on your new 05 GSXR 1K just as easily!! :dthumb: on both!!
jeeps84 04-22-2005, 12:35 AM Jeeps...it makes no matter to me... I was looking forward to taking off on your Duc when you weren't looking when at the GAP.... but I guess I can do the same on your new 05 GSXR 1K just as easily!! :dthumb: on both!!
I guess you know how to hot wire quickly!
I might let you ride the Monster.
She's like a good hoe!
Most anybody can have a turn if I deem them worthy. :lol:
Gas Man 04-22-2005, 12:37 AM No hot wiring... just catch ya with the key in the ignition... I wouldn't want to disgrace the steed by hot wiring her!!
jeeps84 04-22-2005, 12:39 AM Its not often I leave the key in a bike, even at home locked in the basement.
Gas Man 04-22-2005, 06:14 AM :jacked:
In the basement?
:jacked:
Gas Man 04-22-2005, 06:17 AM Also, I would like to add.....that both bikes have a nice :drool: factor so I say a big money truck driver like yourself should have both!!
2FURYUS 04-22-2005, 06:49 PM Jeeps...you only live once (that I remember :screwy: ) so you gotta go with what you really want.... I'm half tempted for one of those 1k's myself. :thumbs: so I hear ya. :lol:
jeeps84 04-23-2005, 01:33 PM :jacked:
In the basement?
:jacked:
basement n
1. a story of a building that is wholly or partly below ground level
2. the foundation, substructure, or lowest part of a wall or building
Add garage door and its a garage in the Basement/under the house.
Pretty common in the mountains.
jeeps84 04-23-2005, 01:34 PM Also, I would like to add.....that both bikes have a nice :drool: factor so I say a big money truck driver like yourself should have both!!
The money aint that big!
That's why I cant afford both. :sob:
GSXR1000DJ 04-23-2005, 07:26 PM Now that is a hard Decisions. Man, I would go for the gixxer but thats me. Do what is going to make you happy. Good Luck. :luck:

Ok... I thought maybe you just had a walk out basement and refused to pull the bike into the lonely garage...
jeeps84 04-23-2005, 10:39 PM I need a garage but, I keep spending money on the bikes. :crazy:
It is in the plains to have one built this year. (Maybe) :skep:
jeeps84 04-24-2005, 01:30 AM I got an E mail and he countered my counter offer with $1000 less and I keep all aftermarket parts.
I recountered with -$400 and I keep the parts.
Its not looking like a sale. :nonod:but he still wants to talk.
Phone conversations to start tomorrow when he gets home. :skep:
Gas Man 04-24-2005, 11:27 AM Just don't back down cause you have the advantage... being that you REALLY don't need to sell it!
r1sharknose 04-24-2005, 12:09 PM Nope, I have a Monster too!
If it leaves it will only be replaced with a new one.
I have a v-max that want be leaving just like your monster and i bet that like me it isn't as much a money thing as it is a wife that says:If you want a new bike sell one of those you have....
I built a garage out back for my bikes and she's alot more cooperative... :luck:
jeeps84 04-25-2005, 12:11 AM Actually the garage will be to get the cages out of the weather.
Yes, its a wife thing.
nuff said! :whistle:
jeeps84 04-25-2005, 12:22 AM NO SALE :disapp:
He wouldn't go for my last offer & I stuck to it.
I told him that I was in no hurry to sale and might still have it, if he changed his mind.
New up date.
The wife says she wants another SV650S.(the GSXR scars her) :skep:
I found out to day that a friend is sailing her SV and Tracey wants it.
The 03 GSXR 600 she rides now may soon become a 05 1k. :wink:
One more toy for me to play with. :lol:
Gas Man 04-25-2005, 02:01 AM Well just as I always say... if it's meant to be it will work out!
See you weren't suppose to sell it.... you were suppose to sell the GSXR 6 and get the 1k...
jeeps84 04-25-2005, 09:19 AM I was wondering about that.
What the h3ll am I going to do with to Super Bikes?
I think I can think of something to do with them. :wink:
We will see how things work out. :crazy:
Gas Man 04-25-2005, 02:20 PM Well I'm sure the Duc would dominate at the GAP, due to the v-twin aspect... then if you want flat out killer speed...the '05 GSXR 1K!
jeeps84 04-25-2005, 11:51 PM Going tomorrow to work a deal on the SV & then maybe to look for a new GSXR :whistle:
