Is my offer in the ballpark?

[Oldrider57]

Just wanted to see what some of you thought about the offer I just submitted for a left-over 08' Black biposto. I offered my local dealer $9600 for this left-over unit he's been unable to sell for the past 2+ years. After having seeing the comments about "crap" front forks (again?). I felt there was no way I'd begin to pay a premium for a new model when I'm not financing or trading in another unit towards this purchase. Just walking through his door with cash and then walking out with a bike that the following week would only be worth about $6500.
Also, I had bought a new Hypermotard "S" from this same dealer 2 years ago, so I'm well aware of the "junk" Zoke front forks. AGH!! $1800 for the Ohlins cartridge kits installed!
As always, will offer thanks to the comments I'm sure a few might want to offer....Pat

do a search on my name and buy mine, I have no problem crating it and sending it to you....

I think my forks are terrific with how they're setup!

Sounds reasonable to me. Check the manufacture date. It may be older than you think. Hit 'em with the maintenance that is due after 2 years.

$7500 otd! forks are not that bad if you get them setup right...for street riding there fine...they are alittle harsh on sharp bumps though.
