The time(more like the want) has come to buy a new motorcycle. I really enjoy my zx and plan to stay in that brand and line, having talked with other riders and research I feel good about buying Kawasaki again. Anyways I want 2019 or newer(want that standard quick-shifter). So my question is has anyone bought a new bike within the last few years or used and have any pointers when dealing that are relevant to sport bikes?
I am pretty savvy at looking at used bikes and seeing how they were maintained and ridden but not so good at haggling. Anyone got pointers on talking bike price down based on marks, scratches, drops, low speed crash, counter-arguments to aftermarkets installed(slip-on, tail tidy, blinkers,etc). I honestly have no care to what mods are installed and I don't feel they add value to a street bike other than vanity, nice touches but doesn't tickle me jimmies to pay extra for them on a used machine?
And for brand new dealer bikes any tips on destination fees, set-up fees, etc?
