I bought a 2011 Z1000 Today

**Shake** · 11-04-2011, 07:29 AM

Ok,

My credit score was a 611. I thought it was much much higher and maybe it was but because I have been trying to get credit from everyone it went down. In any case I put $6,000 down and I pick it up on Saturday. I Talked him down down from $10,350 to $10,100 Out the door with some parts installed. Could I have done better? Yes but I did not feel like arguing at this point. Other bikes I bought I could not even get them to come down 1 cent so I am real happy on this point. My Interest rate Blows and its the worse he has ever seen. 15%. I did have a BK Chapter 7 on my credit and it was because of this I got the shitty rate. How ever:

1. I make $1,000 a week and don't pay rent when I come home so I can absorb some of the cost and not feel to bad about it.

2. I can Pay the bike down to say $1,500 and then 15% on that would be less then 15% on $4000? Or I just might let it ride for 6 months and then pay it off. At this point I have almost said screw putting on my credit report as I am no longer trying to go out of my way to build up credit if I am screwed till 2016 any ways. I can just pay my credit cards and loans and that be good enough. I will have to see what the payments and everything are like when I go into the office to fill in paper work.

I am really happy with what I got even if its not the best.

I will be posting pics and a video on Saturday.

My right arm hurts like hell so I might just work on installing the $3,000 in parts I already have for it....

That sounds really fucking funny.

I like the z1000 to. I am thinking about buying a naked bike as well. I was thinking about the Speed triple so I can do longer road trip. Maybe next year

Anyhow, congratulation on the bike. What color you choose? You definitely need to post pics of your bike even if it's from another bike that looks like yours.

congrats dude...guess you feel a lot better about that pile of parts you bought now lol

If I have to wait for pics then so do you guys. :P

I'm really happy. I can already tell that the Sargent seat I paid $300 for is going to be sweet. I am going to have one sweet ass bike. I am not spilling any details about the bike color ect till tomorrow. Just going to have to wait.

One question tho. How many miles do I have to put on it before I can put my Full exhaust on and have it tuned?

15% on $4000 isn't too bad. It will help you build your credit at least. Plus, you should be crammed with work for a while, we're building the offshore drilling rig's like it's nobodies business right now.

**Shake** · 11-04-2011, 01:50 PM

Yeah But this rig is paying out big time in the $$$ I will know in jan 2012 if they get the contract again for another 2 years. God I hope so. right now I am rolling in money.
