hi guys.my fren went to BIKES PRODUCTION and ask them for the OTR price for 1st hand sparks. they quoted him $4000 OTR. and they also said the downpayment required is $500. may i know is this possible? i mean is it abit too cheap to believe? may i know is there any possible hidden costs that u all may state out and help? or is there any possibility that the sparks is not 1st hand? and anyway guys who frequent BIKES PRODUCTION can u share whether the shop is trustworthy? just wan to know if its reliable to buy there. thanks alot for ur help.

[disenchanted]

I went a few bike shops before i decided to buy my bike from BP. They offered me the lowest bike price compared to other shops. And the other shops offered me 15K+ otr ( very very reputable bike shop ), where else BP offered me 13k+.

 

I believed the reputable bike shop up their bike price so that when can give freebies to us( gimmick ). I charge you 2k more and give u freebies like sliders, steel brake hose and perhaps 3 free servicing and maybe a box. BIG DEAL, all this add up, 1k max. Another 1k goes to their pocket? I dun f@#king care about aftersales services as what services they can give ?

 

I rather buy the bike cheap, no accessories is ok as long i dun get ripped. Saving this 2k can buy me more stuffs. In conclusion, BP price is cheap because they dun give you for freebies. Some shops give you freebies ( which actually u paid for it ), and u go home happily thinking u got urself the best deal. Ending up u got ripped.

 

PS: The service i get from BP is superb, i went there once and ytd i went, the boss still regconised me and did a price break down for me. No hidden cost. 13k+ otr including IU unit. Btw im getting a fz6 07.

[disenchanted]

ohh. yeah. quite agree with u chopstick. i dun really care about aftersales service as long as the price is cheap and trustworthy to buy it. anyway thanks for ur advice. enjoy ur fz6.
