Buying a new 2006 ZX6R

I posted this on another site and it was suggested I try here...

I have a question about buying a new bike. I'm planning on selling or trading in my 2001 ZZR250 and upgrading to a 2006 Ninja ZX6R.

I understand it's all about bargaining.. and I'm a girl and don't want to be ripped off.

So if the dealer has it listed as $14,990 plus on-road costs - what range should I reasonably expect to pay?

It's been suggested I could ride away for ~$13K without a trade-in. Anyone else got an idea?

If u let us know what stae/city u r in we could also recommend what dealers to go to and avoid.

Offer them cash, that usually helps

I'm in Melbourne.

I'm not so sure about the 13k no more to pay
but Mornington Kawasaki have had good wraps lately
as have Race Rep Kawasaki

Cool. I am in Brisbane, when a Melbornian reads this they will be able to help ya... Good luck

I really have no idea..and maybe i'm a pessimist..but 13k sounds like a really hard deal. considering 14,990 plus onroads = high $15,000 ish -$16k.... maybe you can get one for high 13k's? not sure..but migth consider 2nd hand..always save a few grand there for a few thousands km's on the clock

Anyone in Vic know anything about Floyd Parkes Kawasaki? They said $16K on road, but wouldn't give me their best offer over the phone..

Canberra Motorcycle Centre were advertising ZX10 $14990+ORC and ZX6 $13990 +ORC

last time I looked they still had a couple of each left at those prices.....you could *maybe* bash the 6 price down a bit.......ORC are *about* 1k extra....

Its amazing what you can get if you walk in with 130 x 100 dollar notes....

Watch them stumble over themselves to make a deal with that...

and just keep repeating... "Thats all I have.... And THAT is the bike I want...."
