I’m trying to purchase a motorbike and decided to check what we have for used around the province.
I’ll give you some stats and you be the judge. I have no idea who’s buying these bikes but they’re idiots for doing so.
A decent Yamaha Cruiser (New at the Dealer) goes for $7999 with a $300 rebate, so that makes it 7699. Fine and dandy.
Comes with 1 year warranty, fully inspected, brand new parts and 0km.
I see 2006 and 2007 used yamahas that are the same exact model, with over 1000 km on them, no warranty left for over $7000. I swear I saw on on kijiji for 7500. What the hell is wrong with you? how can you sell your used bike for the same price as a new one?
I guess the myth about kijiji is true. It’s nothing but crap on there when it comes to bikes.
I checked moncton kijiji, bikes on there are at least $1000-1500 cheaper than in NS!!!
so obviously it isn’t a maritimes thing, just a nova scotian thing.
I’ve already made my dicision anyway, I’m getting a new one from the dealer. If I’m only saving a few 100 bucks on a used one, why bother.
Nova Scotia, used bikes are USED. God only knows what you did with it. They’re not worth as much as new ones!!!

Sorry, posted this in the wrong space.
My eyesight’s going, evidently.
Yay! it’s in the right section now! Good work magical internet gnomes! 😉
Incidentally, motorcycles are HOT.
guess people are out to get what they can these days…
not to mention you’re trying to buy a bike just as bike season approaches.
They’ll all be cheaper in the late fall, since you’ll have to wait several months to use it or continue driving south to be able to really enjoy it.
