I have been looking for a new bike and am back to a Versys. I have one now and it is my second one. I have never gone for three of the same bike but the Versys is hard to beat. I have tried to trade in my Versys at four dealers and can't get anything for it even buying the same bike, 2014 or a2015. If I have to keep riding it that's OK but I like buying new stuff.
You would think that they would have a loyalty program, car dealers do. Kawasaki has rebates that make it so dealers don't want your used bike. And it's not just Kawasaki I see this at all the dealers that I stop at. They all want to sell you a bike but now one wants to take a trade unless you you will give them your bike.
I was at a BMW dealer and asked why there used bikes were so high priced. They said that there customers expected more so they had to give more. A month later I tried to trade in my Versys to them. My Versys is in the book for $6500 hear, it has Happy Trails hard bags, Bark Busters, S&W engine guards, seat, etc. You know lots of extras and without a scratch on it. I was offered $3500 in trade on a two year old leftover. I passed and am still driving my Versys. O Ya, it even had a new set of tires on it. Sow much for being a BMW customer.
Has anyone else had the fun of the trade in?
