Re: R1250R
The R1250RS comes in white.
Anyway did the exercise, they offered me £3,700 less than i paid for the Z 6 weeks ago. This is on a £16,000+ R1250R Executive. Too much to drop in 6 weeks and still less than 400 miles.
It's obvious they just look at the "book" and come up with the lowest figure, no concern or consideration of the options, mileage etc. I was prepared to drop £2k but no more.......ah well we both lose out.

Re: R1250R
If you like, you can give me the z, until it has enough miles to warrant the drop, then you can do the deal 
If it ain't fun, don't do it

Don't worry Bob. You're allowed to change your mind. We won't be offended 
On the subject of price, that is a really big drop. I sold John's Bonneville with only 500 miles on the clock but I didn't lose too much. The price of new Bonnie's had dropped by £2,000 the week before so what with that and normal depreciation I thought I was lucky to only lose that amount in total. Seems to me that just leaving the showroom is the biggest price drop a bike is ever going to suffer.

Re: R1250R
The Z is a good bike....all the reviews say so.
The whole experience trying to buy one first time round, October i think, then this time eventually getting one was not pleasant.............and the heated grips are still not fixed. Brand new never been used but they took £230 ish off me (genuine Kawasaki grips fitted by Kawasaki dealer).
Every time i go on the bike it reminds me of the ordeal/s.
