    Re: Brand Matter or just Preference?

    Why would anyone buy a new bike from a dealer when you can pick up and 07/08 bike used right now for anywhere in the 5k range? I paid less than half that for my 05 SV and it runs like a top!

    KingCast and CBR_Knight all mixed into one and divided by at least 2 forum members.

    Is this even possible?

    As far as new warranty = you can't modify or even maintain it yourself, may want to do a little fact checking.

    Looks like it's either been painted (none factory colors) or has chinese plastics on it.....

    The best thing could do is give someone your $$$$ and have them buy you a bike, there is no way your 31 and this clueless........

    Wait ummm because I am 31 means I should know when a bike is painted non factory colors or what the maintenance schedule for a bike would be? Your reading too much into the situation and making false statements.

    I just started getting into bikes, that would be like me saying because your 38 and don't know what my programming code and logic does that you are clueless. (though in reality you might know programming )

    Nope it just means you are not familiar with that expertise

    I don't think he was referring to you recognizing china plastics. I agree, it would be silly to expect you to recognize that. I think he was generalizing about the whole thread. And in which case, it really has little to do with you knowing much about bikes and everything to do with you thinking the dealer is your friend and the best place to put your money.

    BTW, I'm surprised nobody has done anything with the tags on this thread yet.

    The fact you don't understand the basics of how credit works @ 31yrs old is scary.
