Asif not sure if you tried these guys out? http://www.motorcyclesdirect.co.uk/kawasaki/gtr1400-2012 I've heard a few times theses give good deals even when trading a bike in :smiley:
getting on now...  but not as old as Rog or Geoff

They now own Colchester Kawasaki as well, hence the good price mentioned earlier.

Left field option, how about a deal with matey who wants to swap his new 2012 green bike for a GSA. We all know he is miles out on price, he may be better off doing a deal with you and trading in yours, they are much more likely to give hom £5k for yours than anything like £10+ for his???

if I remember correctly and this is the same guy. it was the 2011 model. this guy wanted to swap due to injury he had at work for something with a wide handlebar reach :undecided: on that thou..! can't see him going the other way "age and model wise" unless he needs the cash, and if so he would I've stated "will swap ex-amount of cash my-way" surely...!!!

Tick, tock, times slipping you by if the finance deals end this weekend........

Wasn't thinking of taking that much out on finance to be honest.

Still in two minds. Will sleep on it

My left field option with the guy looking to swap his 2012 model would be as follows, but time is against you

You trade in your 1400 with his BMW dealer and you then buy his 14 from him, it will only work if he is ready and able to trade quickly given the timing on Kawasaki's finance deal if this does not work.

Realistically you're probably too tight for time.

Of course K will do some sort of finance package in the next few months, may even extend the current deal, who knows.

Just when I've talked myself out of upgrading, the wife turns around and says she'll upgrade my bike for my 40th birthday prezzie.

Either.

But I've spent the last week convincing myself I shouldn't! Maybe I'll use the offer on my next birthday

Just because many do it does not make it right. Just because many think it does not make it true.
