I was at the dealership today getting my brake recall work done. Spent the 30 minutes wandering around the showroom talking with one of the salesmen about all the various bikes, how I love my Connie, etc. We were standing next to a 2012 green ZX14 and talking about the 1" Heli risers that it has on it. Another salesman walked up and hung a sign on the bike, telling what it was, and how much, etc. Anyway, the bike was used but only had 295 miles on it. I actually thought it was new. Seems the buyer over-reached his budget (or his wife's wrath) and had to turn it back in to the dealer at a loss.
I look down at the sign and see the price for this virtually brand new monster bike is $7,995 plus ttl. Unable to speak, I take a second look at the tag. Yes, USED 2012 with ONLY 295 miles. I'm just about to shout, "I'll take it." when the guy I'd been talking with snatches the sign off the bike and tells the other guy that the price is wrong and must be a typo.
Dang, I was THAT close to owning a brand new, bad a$$ bike for a song. (They probablly wouldn't have followed through with that price anyway.)
