Sure. If you wanted to rent it from me with a significant deposit and you were doing so only because you couldn't do it at a dealership, and were planning on buying it, then we would talk.

I'snt the $100 sufficient compensation/deposit?, let's not be greedy here....

You've proven that the dealerships have no demos available, thanks for doing the legwork to determine this :cheers:
and yes I wopuld be interested in buying one.

I am a mature rider, spotless record for almost 25 years, logged lots of miles and I have been riding 6-7 years now, can't remember...

My bike is a big old SS, about twice the size of the MV, so surely no risk. My bike just isn't as "flickable" as I would expect the MV to be, so I'd like to just give it a try before I commit to buying.

Like I said, there's shiney new brown bills in it for ya ;)

OP you are worried about depreciation on your Honda by and you are thinking you are getting a good trade in value, but isnt the 675 F3 being replaced by the new 800 F3 or are they keeping both?

I would imagine the 675 would be at risk of more significant depreciation now if the 800 is coming out to augment or replace. In my pea brain I would think your honda will hold better overall value by spring then the 675.

If anyone out there knows better then me, certainly chime in

Actually, if you read my initial post you would notice that I said I'm putting down collateral (deposit) and the $100 is just something I would be paying for the opportunity.

Also, to my knowledge, both the 675 and the 800 will coexist.

Hey bean, thanks again for meeting with me and providing so many details. I really appreciated you doing so and I think it just pushes me toward the purchase.

........I have noticed the way I react to crashing now is completely different. Its "I'm fine, Is the bike fine? Does it start, shift gears, ride straight? Is nothing immediately falling off? Ok, lets keep on riding..."

Funny, that was how I felt after my first one.
 
I can be perfectly honest and say that I could never ride all the bikes I've had to 100% of their potential. I miss my Ex500 actually, it was a great bike with nice manners and plenty of get up and go. Had it for a couple of seasons before the Z750S which (to me) went like stink and was a total blast (bit too much at times). I moved to my current bike because of ergonomics and practicalities. Most Ontario roads are ***** and in bad shape so I got a bike that could deal with them comfortably. A big dual sport with a pretty peppy engine. I will never outride this bike either I'm guessing.

None of my bikes have been slow. I'm slow....ish. I traded up/sideways because I have a sad disease that makes me look at newer shiny things and want them very badly. Your CBR500 is most likely way more bike than you might care to admit but it's OK to want new shiny things. Just make sure you do it safely.
 
Is it what you've expected from the bike?

I completely understand. That being said, I've put 5000 clicks on my bike. At what point am I no longer considered a new rider? Is this measured in time or in mileage? Would someone who has ridden 20,000km in 2 years be more or less experienced than someone who has ridden 5,000km in 5 years?

Note that I've been driving for over 10 years now and have a clean driving record.

Depends on the type of riding as riding to bike meets totaling up to 5k riding does not mean anything it depends on your experience of riding I.e riding to meetup at coffee shops does not compare with riding at 507 or at a track. Case in point after moving to California from Toronto there was a learning curve riding in the canyons vs riding on country roads in Ontario.
