[turbo6bar]

Well, after a lot of reading, I've narrowed my first bike down to the wr250x yamaha (supermoto 250cc). I was set on a Suzuki 400cc supermoto, but the review on forums say the combination of fuel injection, six speed gearbox, and low vibration make the wr250x a great buy.

I've been searching the southeast and midwest for a clean wr450x. I may have lucked out and found an 08 at a local Yamaha dealer. It's clean, has a few scratches, and a welded up shift lever (probably after somebody dropped it). Otherwise, it's in nice shape. 1800 miles. They're asking $3299 + $150 for doc and local fees, which is under book of $4200, but above trade in, $2800. I rarely buy from the dealer. The price is actually quite fair. The salesman said these aren't popular around here and pointed at the monstrous cruisers and sport bikes. I think as the weather gets colder, this bike will sit. I was thinking of bringing a wad of hundred dollar bills and offering him $2800 out the door.

What ya think?
