Has any of you bought used motorcycle during winter? Found a sweet deal?

Question

I'm planning to wait till winter to get a motorcycle from someone who is desperate to get rid of his/her motorcycle, pay off their yearly debts and prepare for new year. Have any of you bought a used motorcycle during winter? Which motorcycle did you buy and how much did you pay? Just taking a survey to see how much lucky I should expect to get this winter.

Answer 1

Best time to buy.

When I buy my next bike, next year, it will be on the week between Christmas & new years.

Answer 2

i bought my 1999 harley night train over the winter.  only paid $8500.  you can get great deals that way, but you also take a gamble if you can't test ride it.

Answer 3

I got my wife a Honda rebel 450 a few years ago on Christmas Day for a grand. Sold it 1 1/2 years later for 1,500 dollars. So you can get a deal, however you can get a deal during the summer also as people need money year round.  Look at dealers who are remodeling. I got her present bike at a Honda dealer who was rebuilding. Nothing down, $117 a month, low interest, new bike, 650 cc shadow soft-tail. Only worked out to $500 over MSRP with all interest figured in and taxes paid. They needed the room to remodel. Got it for cost.  Look around at all times and buy when you find the right bike. if you wait, I may buy it before you, or someone else will.

Answer 4

Bought my Harley in Jan.

Answer 5

I got my wifes 94 ZX6 in the winter. Couple wanted $2500. i talked them down to $2000. They threw in a helmet and jacket and even signed off on a 3 month money back warrentee.

They would have done anything I wanted to get rid of it. They financed it directly through Kawasaki and had been paying on it forever.

Answer 6

A shadow SOFT-TAIL??? Don't disgrace a HONDA like that!!!!

a great deal can be found all year long, so if you find a bike you like, at a price you like, get it or someone else will....
