Fancy a motorcycle? Suzuki DL650 V-Strom on DK Motorcycles

Hello,

was just doing my usual browsing of motorcyles, and I noticed this: http://www.dkmotorcycles.co.uk/dkonline/new_bikes/suzuki.php?mode=details&action=overview&product_id=153

The price is 3999 !!!!! which is cheaper than used models sell for!!!!

Normal prices start at 5399. Have alook here: http://www.suzuki-gb.co.uk/bike/vstrom650A/

It seems like an error, I have not contacted them, but maybe someone can get a bargain here since they advertise for such a low price (even by mistake!)

Cheers,
Sol

    Looks like a great deal to me. I think its the 2006 model but i`ve asked for more info. Seems to be a good bike going by the reviews i`ve read....Tempting.

  • DK are big on Grey Imports. You may not get the warranty you expect but may have to travel to DK all the time for any work.....

    I am sorry you think that, but I am in no way related to the company nor do I know quidsaver. Im just looking for a bike for the last 5 months....

    Thanks for that Odd Fellow. I wasnt aware of DK and grey imports....I know them via their two page ad in MCN every week. I wouldnt want a grey import because of the warranty issue you mention.
  • my advice is , be very carefull as i had a cbr600 from dk ,they were superb till they got there money!!!! then ,NOT A HAPPY BIKER !!

    hi Carl, was it a new bike? What about servicing do you know if it would have to go back to them or a local susuki dealer? Any info you have would be great. cheers
