If you are a VA resident you can go to dmvnow.com and pay 5.00 for a trip ticket which will allow you to ride back from the purchase location to your end destination.  It can all be done online and is painless.

I was wondering about those trip permits outside of VA, if the other states would honor it if pulled over.

I simply picked up a temp tag from the dealer in Cherry Hill and rode it to FL.  More drama in this thread than the tag was 

$12,793 OTD cash. Add another $225 if you buy with a loan (which I did) so they do title and reg + tax. Cash allows you to register and pay tax where ever you want without the additional fee. My out the door with tax and reg is $13,398.

02's is in pieces as I am replacing the valve cover gasket and doing a carb sync.

That's a great price! I was basically $15, 500 OTD after my dealer lowered the sticker price to $14, 299, and I paid cash no loan. Then I saw Cherry Hill and was like WTF?!  I could have done much better; but I'm Ok with what I paid, and I love the bike.

That is a good price if it's an 2011, the dealer five miles from me, is asking $16,000 & tax

Question, whats the recommended break-in?  I really don't want to be going 55 on i95 to keep the RPMs down...I'll get run over.

Kawi lists it as 600 miles...

What speed and RPMs?

What speed and RPMs?

Typically in town riding with up and down rpm's is better than a constant like highway.


Others will disagree though I'm sure and even say break-in is not necessary...

What speed and RPMs?

From the owners manual:
• The table shows maximum recommended engine speed during the break-in period.
Distance traveled Maximum engine speed
0 ∼ 800 km (0 ∼ 500 miles) 4 000 r/min (rpm)
800 ∼ 1 600 km (500 ∼ 1 000 miles) 6 000 r/min (rpm)

I think 4000 rpm in OD is somewhere between 80 and 90 mph

Oh good, I won't get run over!
Thanks

Congratulations

Wrong color.  But congratulations.  I would really like to trade my 09 for an 11

Well, took the Amtrak up to Philly, cabbed it over to Cycle World (they payed the cab fare) and rode 185 miles back to VA on Saturday.

Here are some pics of the new faster silver  next to the old, slower and duller silver.

Great looking bike.  I love the "I hide dust so well" Grey!  Looks like you got a pretty good deal and Cherry Hill took care of you by even paying your cab fare.  Enjoy!

cherry hill is an easy place to make a deal. Ive bought 4-5 bikes there . Always fair trade in value too.

Congrats on the great new bike!

Good luck with the new bike.
I was thinking of coming down to Cherry Hill, but got kidnapped by some friends for breakfast and a ride along the Delaware River. I try to stay out of dealerships as much as possible, I'm way to fond of shiny things
