I think the only time I'd buy from a dealer is new. Too many horror stories about broke ass traded in used bikes being patched together and pawned off on some trusting SOB who doesn't know any better.

Who was the guy with a zx10 from olden twf who's engine was fucked from the dealer floor and he had to beg and plead to get a new motor and shit?

Yep, that was me. What it boiled down to was I ended up eating shit on that whole deal. The dealership talked like they were helping me, but their actions (i.e. what actually happened) was I ended up trading the bike back to them for a new one and eating the cost of replacing the cracked block.

I'm still dealing with them to this day, and that whole fiasco happened almost a year ago! They called me a couple months ago and said they sold the bike and my lender hadn't sent them the title. They wanted me to go to the DMV for them and get the bike re-titled, and offered me a whopping $10 gift card for my time. I reluctantly agreed. After some thought, I figured it'll cost me more than $10 in gas to get to the dealership to spend that gift card. Screw that. I have yet to hear from them again. When I do, I'll milk them for more money for doing their legwork for them. If they refuse to sweeten the pot, I'll tell them to go pound sand, just like they did to me. I'm never setting foot in that dealership again.
