Default Good Deal?

hey all
so i think i got a good deal. i would like to know what you guys think.
At the local dealer they had an 05 R1 with 1300 miles on it. they had $9000 on the tag. this thing looked brand new. anyways to make a long story short, i went back in there a week later and told the guy i would write him a check for $8200. he had to go check with his supervisor, and jsut like that, the bike was mine

P.S. the best part about it is the dealer took it in on trade for $7900..... that meand they only made $300

Did the dealer show you the sales receipt to prove they bought it for $7900? As far as you know, the bike could have been beat to **** and repaired. BUT, it could be that everything is copacetic. Congrats on the purchase, and bring an extra change of underwear the first time you crack that throttle open.
