ive been looking at getting a monster for the past couple of months now. at a shady dealership close to where i live they have a 05 s2r 800 998 miles for $6600. the catch is there are no records and the bike has been dumped with minor scratches on the whole right side [bang]. the dump seems to only be minor and at slow speeds. so yeah now i have no clue what to do. any input?

No records? As in no title info? No maintenance records?

I paid less for a perfectly fine one.  Tell them to piss off.

Telling us it's shady tells us you should walk away.  YOu solved your own dilemma

I love shady deals. Maybe you can talk him down enough to make it worth it.

NADA says that's almost $2000 over priced.

Move on.

Shady dealership?  So you live in Denver?

3 year old bike, with only 998 miles on it, for $1,395 below original list?  With at least a couple grand in damage!

Don't walk away from this deal...  Run away from it like the devil himself is after you.

I'll sell you my well tested (26,000 miles) 05 S2R, with full Arrow Ti exhast, PCIII, Cyclecat rearsets, etc. etc. etc. for $15,000.00 - I have the title and all the service records.  ;D
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

look in the "Monsters for Sale" section of the board.  You will get a much better deal.  At that price, you can find an 05 s2r with at least arrow pipes on them.

thanks guys. im from wisconsin and finding s2r 800's for sale is hard to come by. this dealership is know for their dumped bikes and they wont 
budge on prices and u cant test drive them. i guess i saw the bike and it was like a deer in headlights, its a beautiful model monster. anyways i think im going to wait.

Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

I don't think its that bad of a deal.  Of course I haven't seen the damage, and like the others said, it should at least have some aftermarket pipes on it.  You can get that bike in southern california on craigslist for about 6000.  But that is pretty low mileage...  I say offer 6 and see what they say...

I found one three blocks away after looking around for a few months.  Shipping's a bit of extra $, but piece of mind is worth it, IMO.

Take road trip if there aren't any near you.  I went to DC from Cincinnati to get mine.  When I was looking there were some in Chicago as well.  I just had to have red with white wheels and wasn't budging on it.

That is way too much for an 05 S2R-800 that has been dropped
