I'm looking to buy either an 08 R-6, 08 GSXR 750(cause it's the only bike in the middle), or 09 R1(I actually like the headlights). Is there any way I can go about getting a deal in Jersey? I'd be paying straight cash for the bike. Like what month should I hit the dealership and what not?

I'm one of those people that can't ever decide on what the gently caress to buy. Please help. My current line up of choices constantly running through my head are: Suzuki DRZ-400sm Suzuki GSZ-R 750(i hate myself for this) KTM 690 Duke Ducati Monster 1100 Ducati 848 BMW 800R BMW S1000RR Kawasaki ZX-10( This may be the hype machine) and last but not least Yamaha R6 (so I can pretend to be Vale  )Now some info about me. I own a Ninja 500 currently and a Toyota Rav4(which will probably be my only car unless the new Evo isn't a piece of poo poo). I have a stable everyday bike in the 500 I want something fun now and something shiny, preferably new. The one thing that sucks is the bike will live outside in a cycle shell and will have to go through harsh New Jersey winters. I can't ever settle on one bike for more than a few hours I honestly need a lot of help in making a good informed choice. There's a few different styles of bikes covered here but I think they would all be fun to ride in any capacity. Help me make a good choice guys!

Seems like the KTM is getting the big push and just as well that seems like the most fun. I do have a few tracks near me but honestly trackdays would be few and far between due to work. Thanks for the help gentlemen my mind is made up anyone know of a good KTM dealer in the tri-state area?

i've been getting the big itch to ride again after a long hiatus(my ninja 500 got put away in 2011 after being my only vehicle from 18.) I still have the bike but it's totally hosed because I did not properly store it. I'm taking it on as a project to fix it but I have a house and space and want to ride now and also something modern and zippy. What should I ride goons? I'd like to mostly do casual rides on some backroads but I live in urban NJ so it involves some highway riding to get to the backroads. I've always been interested in the KTM 690smc but I know their rep of being maintenance heavy.

mt07 and dr650 seem like they're worth checking out. how do folks feel about the tenere 700? That seems like it's really fun.

I’ve been watching revzilla daily rider and most times I come away with a new bike I want to buy. There are too many good bikes.

Just put a deposit on a Tenere 700 that should be in within the month. Have to drive 200miles to pick it up but you can't find one of these anywhere so I'm ok with that.

the tenere isn't in and I found a tuareg 660 locally that is in stock(a buddy bought an rs660 from this dealer and when he went to check it out he said they were unboxing a bunch of tuaregs). i have a deposit down on it. it's like 1400 more than the tenere otd. am i being a dumbass? it seems very loving nice from all the reviews i've seen but there is more to break with advanced electronics and it's also italian. the suspension being stiffer and more adjustable than the tenere is really nice as a fat guy. i'm thinking i will pick up the tuareg this weekend if no one talks me out of it.

 Bike is good. Did ~70 miles home from the dealership. Mostly highway. Bike was very well behaved. I can’t believe everything that came flooding back after being off a bike for 11 years. I really missed this. Now to order some pants and a summer jacket.

a good bike I can have now(-ish) is probably better than a potentially good bike I could potentially own sometime in the potential future
