My 06 S2R was $6600 with 2400 miles and perfect condition.

Pass.

Besides, if you are willing to spend that much, try and get an S2R 1000.

I got an S2R800 as a first  bike.  Though I love it, if the dealer would have told me about the adjustable front forks (knew I was going to have to play with the forks anyway due to my weight) and better front brakes that came on the 1000, I would have voluntarily dealt with a steeper learning curve.  It is much more expensive to upgrade the 800 than to buy the 1000 and have to deal with more power and a dry clutch.

Also, like mentioned here before.  ROAD TRIP.  If you find a bike within a 2-4 hundred mile radius, ride that sucker back.  I think 250 mile radius would be the most ideal.  Only problem is that you wont know what you are getting until you get there.

I had a good time going and getting it.  It was December, so riding it back was mostly out of the question.  I have personal preference to keep my hands.  Got there test drove it.  Paid for it.  Put it in the back of the truck and then back through the mountains we went.  DC and back in a day, got me a bike and my friend a hell of a brag and story.

I bought my 2007 S2R with 287 miles, still under warranty until 11/09, for $7500 in NYC in May of this year. $6600 for that shit is way too much.

Countgreffi we should meet up I am in brooklyn.

I bought an S2R1000 2006 with 4500 miles on it in perfect condition with a intergrated tail light for $7000. A STEAL! saw it on day 1, it had a lien on it, and the bank was closed, but i comiited to the seller. Next day showed up at 8am with cash in hand, went to the bank, paid him, he paid the bank, bank let go of the bike, and got it registered and titled the next day. Though the bike is spitting oil out of all the valve covers. . But thats why i got a warranty!!

id take a pass on this bike. There are plenty of bikes around here, being sold by people you trust more than these guys. I would rather buy blind from here with a guy whos known around the boards, then a dealer whos going to charge you up the ass for something thats over priced.
