Let me first start off by saying your asking price is way to high. I would lower it first and then definitely get some pics up!

no it's not even close to a loan payoff i payed 12k for it .......it was the first one sold in the state and being a first time buyer i didnt care what it cost i wanted it and yeah i know i got fucked but at the time i was looking at a brand new bike not dollar signs ...........so if thats too high what does every one say would be a good price im gonna say 9k is rock bottom for me but any feedback would be great.............. and another question i have is does anyone pay taxes or anything on there bike a 750's msrp is 10k so how can you buy one for that much? this is my first bike and for future ref. id like to know what i should and should not pay as far as msrp and out the door cost goes.....i mean if you buy a car the sticker price is 25grand do you give the guy 25 and drive off? as far as i know it dont work that way
Learn to negotiate
MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) is about $8700 +/- on the Gixxer 600. The dealership does not pay this much for the bike. You need to understand that up front. I have negotiated with cycle dealerships in the past and they usually will deal with you. I bought a Brand new Honda Rancher ATV last year. The sticker was $4700, and I negotiated $4200 out the door. This means the bottom line number and amount financed was $4200. Also, if your credit is good, look for financing through your bank or credit union, as you will usually get a better interest rate. NEVER, EVER fall for those $79.00 per month deals. Most know that that price is only for the first 12 or 24 months, then the APR adjusts to some ungodly amount. God forbid if you are 1 day late on a payment in those months, because you get hit with like 24,99%. Go in knowing how much you want to spend, and go in with a pre-approved loan from your bank. This puts the power of negotiation in your hands. These salesmen work on commission, and they want to sell bikes.
Good Luck selling it, but I have seen similiar bikes going for $7500. I would do what I could to keep it. JMHO

You have to remember, that no matter what you end up paying out the door, the bike is only worth $8700 when you buy it. Yes, you pay plenty for tax, title, and registration. But you have to remember that in most states, the next person that buys the bike ALSO has to pay sales tax on it! When you sell a bike, you can't reasonably expect the next person that buys the bike to pay for the taxes, title fees, and registration that you paid when they also have to pay their own title and tax fees when they transfer the title to their own name.
$12k out the door? Wow.
Best of luck, though. And sorry to hear that your plant is closing down - it sucks to be laid off. Been there, done that, got the bloody t-shirt. I hope you can rebound quickly and maybe not end up having to sell your bike!
