What new '08 bikes are you buying and what's the part-ex?

[Bertie Simmonds]

Hi all, I'm wondering what 2008 bikes - if any - you've whacked some hard-earned dosh down on and what you're part-exing in return?

New Blade? Transalp? CB1000R? ZX-10R? Ninja 250? KTM RC8? Etc, etc! I'd need to have a quick chat tomorrow morning or late this afternoon sometime. But it may give you a 'heads-up' in a magazine.

Hope you can help.

Transalp anyone?

[Chilli]

I'd only be interested in the new Blade, bu would need to have another look. Loved it as the NEC, but everyone here has caned it! for this I'd chop the 750 in, but might just see if the wallet could suffer a nice track bike and an 05 R1.

Due to always wanting a something Italian to leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere, I should hopefully be taking delivery of a shiny red 848 in April.

I love the new blade, but i'm waiting for at least 6 points to drop from my license afore a put down a deposit

It's red and it's an 848, that's about it

[Pugsey]

Chopping my Hornet in either for the bigger capacity new Hornet thingy - can't remember what Honda are calling it - or an 848. It'll depend on my mood on the buying day I guess. Either one will then be ridden at 10/10ths of my abilities...............and 4/10ths of the bikes!

Any further thoughts on Jerez mate?

[Rawwr]

Yeah, I can't

[Bertie Simmonds]

Er, OK thanks... I can just see that going in a magazine... 'Rawwwr is getting a red 848...'

Was kinda hoping for full name, what shop you're getting it from, what you're trading up from, where you live (not complete of course, but just the area... and a quote on why choose that bike and why put a deposit down.

Oooh, and my e-mail is there for anyone who fits the above description of buying a new 08 bike! Feel free to contact me!

Ah, never mind. Another time, the year is young! There was mention of a Focussed events at brands in March recently. T'was as cheap as chips and on a Sat too!

[humpbackmaniac]

I part exed a ZX9 C2 and splashed out a new Boozer. Very happy as just now clicked over 600 miles so service and then SSSSPPPPPPEEEEEEDDDDDDDDD!!!

Bit disapointed about the build quality though, perhaps they weren't designed for English winters.

[Bertie Simmonds]

Humpback... mail me some details mate! Details needed in the above thread and contact mail, er, in the above thread!

[Rawwr]

Ah, I see, but then I might look mental if I'm quoted as saying I'm getting an 848 and then go and do something completely mental and get a 916 instead

[AndyDRZ]

I'm getting a brand new 1098.
It will be stored without any extra security in my shed in my back garden.
The address is
69 Thisthreaddodgy Street
London
NE1 4A BJ

[Bertie Simmonds]

Ha! Yes, very funny! As I mentioned, full address really not required. I think perhaps it's easier to go through the dealers than the people actually claiming to buy the bikes. But thank you for introducing such a sparkling element of levity to this honest and well-meant thread.
:-)

[Bertie Simmonds]

Oh, and Andy. Do check out my website at: www.bertiesimmonds.com for proof of who I am. My contact details are on there. [e-mail] comes through to my aol account. You can even ring my mobile to confirm who I am.

As I said before I do not need full details, postcode, house number, just 'Margate, Kent' will do, which hardly narrows it down. So no, not a dodgy thread at all.

If anyone IS buying a new bike from the 2008 models contact me on the information I've provided on the threads above.

Cheers.

Bertie
