Sup fellas, I'm looking to transition from my 600RR to an R1. I found an 08 Raven with 3k miles and would like to know if $9100 is a fair price. Here's a list of the mods:

two bros slip-ons
hotbodies flush mounts
BMC flilter
power commander
2 HJC helmets
no name jacket and gloves

the bike is clean, never been dumped and original owner.. appreciate any feedback.. anything in particular i should look for when i go to look at it?
any difference from the 07 to the 08?

Call around to like 3 different banks in your area and have them look it up in their books. That is how i found my 06 Raven is worth 7600 in GA and if i was back up north the banks would only hand out 7100 to people.

spent the whole day shopping around today.. here's what i found..

07 R1 charcol.. brand new from a dealer... $9400 out the door

couple of 08 Ravens brand new from dealer.. they average 12k out the door..
what's up with that?

so far no luck.. gotta keep looking i guess..

geez with those prices you'd think you were shopping up in canada..!! serious dude, total rip off...

seen ebay a raven 08 for 9500, just walk into a dealer who has one ready to go, cash in hand.. 9K OTD should do the trick... there arent all that many buyers left walking around w/ 10Gs in their pockets this late in the season... :fork

straight... tell those STEALerships they are criminals.. most people paid less for 09's than that.... Offer then 8900 for the 08 NEW Raven. (what I think the most you should pay)

i don't quite understand the dealers.. here am i serious with purchasing a bike.. and they're not willing to work with me.. with this economy i would like they would atleast try to move bikes.. i think they're getting greedy.. i don't mind them making a few bucks but damn, i don't want to walk away with a bike feeling like i just got robbed..

search continues.. if any of you fellas come across a brand new raven for a good price.. please let me know.. i'm willing to go the distance or maybe just ship it..
