Well I danced with the devil today and bought a new bike from Crazy Freddies. Heres the story. I wanted to pay 9k for the Yel/Blk 06 750 and I was asking 6k for my trade. They were giving me shit about the price of the trade and howit needed tires and yada yada yada. Well if you remember I had a deal done and they balked the next day. I never got the bike and wound up holding out. 2 days later I took a nail to my rear tire and that screwed everything up. I wound up getting new tires($300 installed) and chain. I never thought I was gonna buy a new bike this year or next. I was content. Well on Friday I heard a commercial for CF and they said 30% any new bike in stock. I went down there and it was legit. Any new 05 or 06 on the Sales floor was 30% off. They had no 6/750s at all and 4 06 1ks. They knew I was there for a 750 and gave me 20% retail. Not a bad deal. I picked up an 07 750 Blk/Gry for $9000 plus tax OTD. The bike went up 200 retail over last years so I was happy with the price. I did loose my PP 2CTs and shit, but I guess I'll try the BT014's. I will pick it up on Thursday and see how it goes from there. Pics to follow. OBTW, I paid $868 for FULL coverage on my 04 750, 07 750 is $1020. Just for shits and giggles snce the 1k was 30% off instead of my 20% I figured I would check the insurance. Same coverage as both 750's was .............................$2065. Phuck that, double for an older bike with 250 more CCs. Damm that is whack.
Greg thats why I was wondering how you liked it. I loved my 04 so this better be as comfy and as awesome. Ant as far as getting screwed, the $$$ end is done, now just to make sure the bike is assembled ok. Other than that, what else is there? If the financing is anything other than 0% for 6 months, then I would be pissed. I am not that easy to roll over. I liked the change to +3, but nothing that would make me keep it. I'll have some more PPs by the spring anyhoo. More $$ for ya.
Damm Keith I was quite pleased with those rates. No one else but Allstate even comes close and they wont insure me. I have Full coverage with 100/300 and a $500 deduct. If you have any other places I will be more than happy to listen.
Oh My God Oh My God Oh My God Oh My God Oh My God Oh My God!!! I just got the bike tonight and took it for the break in. ITS AWESOME!!!! So much better than the 04. I did the mototune breakin on my 04 and I just did the same on this bike. 26 miles and its been to 14 15k several times. The bike feels like a BMW or Mercedes, the build quality and chasis feel WAY BETTER than the 04. I can not believe the difference. I AM PSYCHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i actually liked the 014's better in colder weather than the pp's. keep your pressures low (32/30 worked well for me in the cold) and you should be okay.
I hated my Brickstones in the cold, the rear spun up all the time and the front would push like crazy. The only thing I did like about them was they were predictable, you knew what was coming no big surprises
glad your likin it bear. im likein mine more an more. im goin by the dealer tonight to set up the sag. i had it out on halloween night with some guys killin it on the highway. the bike is an animal. commin from the k3 600, this is outa control.
Changed the oil today took off the mud flap, and crusied around briefly. I can not believe its the same bike. Like going from a Kawi to a GSXR except I went from a Gix to a Gix.
Greg just a heads up, my bike/throttle is less jumpy/twitchy then my 04. I am not sure how the 03 were, but these are sweet.

yo bear, did u do the R1 throttle mod to ur 04 750? that seemed to help mine with the abruptness but also once i got it dyned and mapped, that also helped aswell
I did not do the R1 throttle mod and I had no issues, I just knew it was more jumpy than my YZF600R. This new one is like a caddy or something compared to the old one.
