Ryan94b Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Has anyone experienced this before? I’ve just purchased my first big bike and don’t feel the joy I was expecting.I’m waiting for delivery of a bone stock 2012 GSX-R 600. I think I’m feeling like this as deep down I know it’s not the bike I wanted, and it’s a little bit more than I wanted to spend.No aftermarket exhaust, wrong colour, no crash bungs, not keen on the newer shaped headlight.The only reason I bought it was they give me a good deal as they dropped the original 2010 I bought! Should I ring up and cancel it/change the bike? I feel like I might regret it if I don’t.. Quote
One Ball 1971 Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Things like exhaust and crash bungs can be added at your leisure if you so wish and add things to make it your own. Saying that, if you really dont like the bike, then you may be better off ringing the dealer and having a chat. They may have something else that catches your eye and be happier with. Quote
Bob Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 like has just been said,exhaust and crash bungs can be added...did you test ride the bike?...maybe it'll grow on you.. Quote
Six30 Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Cancel it mate, once you’ve paid for it that’s it , it’s your if you like it or not . Go speak to dealer see what else he’s got there . Quote
Guest Richzx6r Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 I'd say have a chat with the dealers, what were you after? Quote
Stu Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 This sounds like most marriages!!Get out while you can Quote
Marino Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 This sounds like most marriages!!Get out while you can Don’t know why but I agree Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 On the other hand it's not unusual for people to have second thoughts about big decisions and then once you get on with life things sort themselves out.But if you're really not happy with your decision speak to the dealer asap as once the paperwork is done he can't undo it so the bike has been bought and sold.

Fozzie Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Cancel it while you can.If it doesn't feel right, don't let the salesman convince you to go through with it. They'll only say what's in their interest, not yours. The worst thing you can do is let the feeling of being obliged to go through with it let you walk into a bad decision! Quote
Six30 Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Can't see why you wouldn't like it , unless it more because your spending more than you wanted ...all it needs in my opinion is a tail tidy and an exhaust . Quote

fastbob Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 All of which begs the question , what wouldn't you have buyers remorse about ? In other words what bike do you like that's within your budget ? Quote

Smithers Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 There should be a statutory cooling off period on all major purchases and proposals of marriage. Quote

That’s the model I wanted, 2010 ish. The one they sold me was the newershape with the big bulbous headlight. Edited June 19, 2019 by Ryan94b Quote
Ryan94b Posted June 19, 2019 Author Posted June 19, 2019 Ended up changing dealer, and changing bike completely. I think you’ll agree she’s quite the looker. Very happy with the bike and the price!http://i64.tinypic.com/105qv4j.jpg Quote

Fozzie Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 There should be a statutory cooling off period on all major purchases and proposals of marriage. Sale of goods act and annulment make short work of both those things if you can prove you were pressured Ended up changing dealer, and changing bike completely.

MarkW Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 When I got mine I was in two minds as well until I'd ridden it a fair bit. Every time I went into the garage to look at it I couldn't quite shake the feeling that I'd just been suckered by the aesthetics and that it wasn't practical in the long-term. It also had a tendency to make a strange whining noise when you rode it hard - especially two-up - which was a bit off-putting. My motorbike on the other hand, I was perfectly happy with from day one. Quote
