$6000 for a 2009 250R...seriously?

[roubzik]

Buying/Selling used bikes is the perfect example of supply/demand microeconomics.

You have a bunch of sellers and a bunch of buyers. Eventually, a buyer and a seller agree to a price, and the deal gets made.

So the seller threw a $6000 price out there. Someone may agree to it - who knows. If not, market forces will simply drive that price down.

Just enjoy the free lesson that I paid for a university course to understand!

And when those buyers are also getting loans to pay for an item with an inflated price and the banks are willing to lend those loans left and right, this intern increases availability of cash to buy those items with inflated prices, the demand increases the price inflates even more till it all collapses and we end up in the situation we are now in which less people are wanting to buy toys, when they are at risk of losing their job, hence the decreased demand.

Here is the concluding thought to this run on sentence: Show up with $4000-4500 cash and the bike will probably be yours.

lmao, if I could, I would quote this in your future FS thread :P

FS thread For Sale?

"If you could" is right....cause you wont be able to, it wont exist.

But I believe there are 2 kinds of riders, those who have a big smile after opening up the throttle and those who have a big smile after carving some corners. Not to say that you can't enjoy both but most of the time it's one more than the other.

I like the turns. I sat on almost all 2009s and the 1000s are fat pigs, the 600s are ok but the 250R seems like an extention of me. Can really go wild on one. Would have got the WR250X or DZR400SM if they were a little less expensive.

Screw a 250 from Yami, let them or Honda make a 400 and watch them blow Kawasaki away.

I'm not a fan boy of any model or brand, i just want the best. Anybody makes a 400 and i'll be a happy man. 400 is the best of all worlds.

Honda DOES make a smaller cc models. Search Honda 250. It's just in Asian Markets and where they sell the majority of their bikes... not here.

There's a few people floating around on this website that own the venerable VFR400. That bike makes me moist

Nice bike but i prefer a modern look. I'm waiting for the day they anounce one, but the wont. It'll be a 500 or focus on a 600.

Really intelligent post when the bikes are going for $5700 OTD right now. I guess your living in an imaginary dream world where items depreciate in value because you will it so. The seller of the bike is simply taking advantage of the demand for a black bike. Luckily I already have one but for anyone that has their hearts set on black they're not likely to have an opportunity to even get a black one this season. Try calling around to the dealerships and they'll all be singing the same story, which is to try to get you to pick up either a Red/Blue/Green Ninja 250 versus a Black.

We need more small bikes from Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha!
