It seems that taking a hit is part of the whole thing eh. Even if we bought a new bike and shrink wrapped it and stored it away we'd still get ripped off! "sorry mate, there's no service history" 🤣
for a second there I though you're going to say you regret getting a 1050 :) I was also chasing the black with gold rims but didn't happen. I ended up getting the standard dark blue/black combo and I actually love it now. My dealer was funny, they actually tried to convince me to sell the 650 myself, to get a better price but yeah, I was willing to loose some money to avoid the hassle of selling/registering it. Registration took about a week, they even told me the day they are going to the registration office.
I think I actually got rid of mine at about the right time. The slightly pimped 24 plate 650 had just landed and the pimped 1050 had just just landed too so my 650 was only ever going to get less value and my 1050 was going to look less inviting too. 🤷♂️But If you're looking to safely store money you don't do it by buying bikes thats for sure. 😂
You certainly had a lucky one there Dunc like you say it's not often you can pull one over on a dealer, though I do feel sorry for the salesman. Weeks to register a vehicle😟, whatever happened to " Vorsprung church Technik" 😂
They love their paperwork Michael 🤓But this is also why they have church records going back til 1470-1500! I think it's because there needs to be good brain jobs for this highly clever population.🤷♂️
You bastard!! 😂😂😂 Good one 😂😂😂 when you trade in a bike here the registration is transferred straight away, when I traded in my MT07 & Strom it was all done and dusted in 30 minutes and I rode off on the new V-Strom
😂😂😂As you say Dunc, it's nice when the boots on the other for foot a change. I was just lucky the Kwak dealership had a GS come in, cos they were way above what everyone else was offering for the Versys.
Totally up to the dealer to spot these things. Well done you got a good deal then. Nice one.
I even told him that it had been in a crash but he never seemed to pick up on that either 😅
Maybe he was just to nice to be a dealer lol
Well done, about time someone got lucky...👍🏻 I always lose out.

🤷♂️😂It's one of the annoying things about here, you can't just buy a vehicle , swap paperwork and drive home with it. 21st century ffs! 🤷♂️
@@GermanJobbies That's incredible hey

Sometimes we get a wee bit of luck eh Nige 😁Not often but nice when it happens.
Mind you mate your Verseys was almost mint.
@@GermanJobbies One dealer offered me 7K for it, tosser. That's over 5K less than what I got for it.
