I bought both my bikes used outside the city and figure it allowed me to get them at a better price (less demand). I assume i saved 15-20% buying in a market where less people wanted to go to from the city. I wouldnt rule out the city but the larger the area you are looking the more...

Seems fair and that about all i could hope for ... just trying to better understand the unknown. thanks

i bought my bike about 100km away on 401, rented the uhaul motorcycle trailer for like $15-$20 and hauled it with my Mazda 5 no problem. I took it relatively slow and did do it late on a Sunday night but i wouldnt think twice about doing it again.

Im looking at buying a used 2003 Suzuki vstrom DL1000, low KM (less than 15,000) for decent price. Understandably the model has been slightly revamped: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_V-Strom_1000 Model year changes2003 (K3) Added fork pre-load adjusters. Alternator output increased to...
