Default So i'm at the honda dealership...

I went to my local honda dealership a few days ago to look at a f4i for sale goin for bout 8G's canadian. When i was there it was sold, the dealer told me that they purchased the bike wrecked and they fixed it up..he said that it was just the front end that was damaged and the alignment is still good. So a few days pass and i come back and i see the bike is still there w/o a sold sign on it. I asked the dealer and he said that the person didnt want it no more. Do you guys think a wrecked bike is worth buying. Also, is 8grand askin for too much, should i try 7...thnx in advance...

forget it, at that price you could buy two F4is. They have drastically come down in price since the RR came out.

It's $8k CAD, not USD. That's about $6,083 USD. That is a bit high for a shining example so way high for a rebuilt. Market price is around $5k depending on year, mileage and condition. On second thought that's a rip off

No I wouldn't buy a wrecked bike unless it was something that was really rare. You can find F4i's very easily. There are lots of them. Just have some patience and you'll find a nice clean one out there.
