pretty nice looking car. Lots more room in the engine bay than mine haha. I like that wing a lot that's the one I was thinking about buying

[Krazy_Kling]

im picking up the car within the next week or two. just gotta get everything situated with the banker. the photos were taken in Michigan btw.

[Krazy_Kling]

alright, im pissed off right now more than i ever am. since last winter the owner gave me his word that he would save the car for me when he came back from florida. last week he sent me a copy of the title and pictures for my banker to see so we had everything set up and i was going to drive down there to pick up the car. i had this car picked out and ready to go since last fall. and now he calls me yesterday and tells me that he is deciding to KEEP the car. that pissed me off to the extreme. so now i just gotta look for another vehicle. planning on getting a rocket now.

[Grr]

if you buy a rocket your a fucking idiot. Find another Z if thats what you want. Seriously, rockets are gay as hell unless they are <$2k.
And you cant get mad about a guy wanting to keep his ride, tough shit! Find something else

You are a retard.

Was/is, it even TT?....if not....find another Z32.

[Krazy_Kling]

im just upset because he honestly assured me that he would save it for me. just the fact that i went through a bunch of shit to get everything situated and then changes his mind. i know each and everyone of you would at least get upset a little if this happened to you. im done complaining....

[capitlj]

Or for sure, IMO once a price is agreed upon its a deal. I have never been in a situation where it took that long tho. I imagine he was like, "Its getting nice again." "I think I'll drive the Z."

[SPANISH-RICE]

damn that really sucks. but what can ya do, dont buy a bike tho.

I'm pretty sure that this is a breach of contract. We're working on contact law in my law class and I'll ask my teacher for you tomorrow. The law states that if there is reasonable performance on both sides (sending copy of title, travel plans, etc) then the contract has been made.

Haha, good luck with that one. A verbal contract won't mean shit anywhere. Unless they had a written contract stating everything. He could say that he just sent a copy of the title so the kid could look into getting a loan or whatever.

I don't consider a deal done until cash, or product have exchanged hands. Although i do consider it bad business to change a deal, but with too many flakers and shit i wouldn't hold onto a product just cuz someone said they would buy it for some price.

[MisterCMK]

No transaction took place. Tough shit. Maybe with all of that oil money you can buy a nicer one.

You have a good point there, did any money change hands? We don't know, but I guess I assumed some had otherwise I wouldn't hold anything for anyone either. If a deposit was paid then a contract was entered. Might not be worth fighting for, unless its a TT, but its definatly not cool to change up a deal like that. Again assuming some "hold" money was exchanged.

Even if im a retard, at least im not a retard that is making a payment on a POS bike you can only use a couple months a year. Snowmobiles are the same way. Ive owned many sleds, and a rocket, HD Fatboy, and a couple smaller bikes. I have never paid more than 3500 for a bike (the fatboy was 3500, wrecked. I fixed it and sold it for 10,500 2 months after purchase.)

I have nothing against bikes, when they are used and cheap. Look at it this way, you buy a second home that you live in say, 6 months a year. It has no roof, no heat or A/C, and you are guaranteed that its value will drop to 50% of your purchase price the day after you bought it. You wind up making payments on it for 4 years, and dont use it very much because its either raining or too damn hot half the time, and sell it for 25% of the purchase price 5 years later. Was it a terrible investment?? Fuck yes it was

And that, is my problem with rockets, and somewhat bikes in general. Unless you are gonna go all out and get a Boss Hoss, V-max, or a Busa or something, there is just really no appeal to me. On a side note, i would really like to pick up a V-max in 3-4 years, and pay about $3k for it, cash of course.

QFT

I just bought my bike last year and I'm already thinking it's a waste of money. 6 months of riding in a year is a big strech. I'd say maybe 4 or 5 comfortable months. Otherwise it sits there depreciating while I'm still making payments every month. I'm thinking of getting out of this one and going with an early 90's sportbike. It's not that I don't like the bike, in fact I like it more than I thought I would.. I don't know what people are thinking trading the ninja 500 in for a rocket, it's basically perfect for around town. Wide powerband, great torque, doesn't make alot of noise unless you want it to, damn quick with the jet kit and front sprocket I have on it (you'd be surprised). It's just basically I'm paying every month for what amounts to a part time toy.

[Grr]

for sure, i would totally rock a 93 or so FZR 1000 or 750, or a CBR F2, but i wouldnt pay more than $1500 for it.
OH, and in wahp/breck anyway, its funny cause you will see these guys driving around in cars you can see through all winter, and broke as fuck leeching off people. But soon as it gets nice out, there they are riding their $20k bikes like they are some complete badass. Im sure it goes that way in most places. What a bunch of fucking idiots, can barely pay rent but they gotta have that bike payment in so they can be Billy Bad Ass
