Need advise on buying a 1000RR
 

Sup fellas,
I ride a 05 600RR and im going to keep that bike for stricktly racing and am in the process of getting a loan from the bank so I can get a 1000RR.... I want to wait for the 09's to come out and see if they have any new color schemes, so heres a main question that i've got regarding the 08/09 liter bike....

Should I get the 08' since its basically the same, or hold out for the 09 due to recalls on the 08 dealing with oil consumption, etc.

If i do go with the 08, anybody got any $ figures that I should shoot for so I dont get ripped off? Thanks

I dont really know what to say. Sounds like you already made up your mind to wait for the new colors of 09, I have zero problem with the oil on my 08

price range for a new 1000 cc ANY bike is around 11.5k, out the door of a stealership its gonna be about 12-12.5k for shipping fees, title fees, licensing and all

From most dealerships, you can save around $1000 on a left over model. I think I would buy an 08, as you said, the 09's are going to be the same bike. they might have a few tweaks here and there, but nothing worth a grand in my eyes.

I haven't had any issues with oil consumption on my '08. I have about 2800 miles on it. I saw some pics of the '09 and I believe they added the repsol color scheme, but other than that the bike just came out earlier this year, so I don't think there are major changes to it. I am starting to see the "08 models go for $9999. That is not an out the door price but I am sure that you could probably get one at a reasonable price.

IMO Looks are not everything, I would rather have the first 1000 Ever to handle the same if not better then most 600's then a heavy slower bike based on looks.

and if you are buying your bike just on looks you are not buying a bike for the right reason at all

and, my 08 Fireblade looks kick ass IRL
