Good price or not?

Post by JamesD »

Looking at a 52 plate new model Firestorm, standard apart from bellypan and hugger, full Honda SH...immaculate condition and only 6k miles.

Price is £2995 from a Honda Dealer...good price or not?

A bit dear as you'll be paying for peace of mind for a short term warranty of some kind from the dealer. If you do pursue it still seriously consider putting in manual CCTs as they've been known to go on Storms with milage as low as 7000.

Apart from that you should have a good bike & a blank canvas for long-term ownership- and for perspective I paid £4500 to a dealer 12 years ago for my one with 6000 miles (now with 65000 and with MCCTs!).
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

I think at that mileage as long as its immaculate condition its not too bad from a main dealer, offer them £2750 :D

I don't think it too bad a deal considering it's a later model and a dealer. I paid 1700 for mine with 8000 mileage just under a year ago. That was a private sale and my bike is not immaculate. :thumbup:
