Default Best lie a motorcycle salesman ever told you...

Saw this topic somewhere else and thought we'd see what you got! Whats the best lie a motorcycle salesman ever told you....


We were at a dealer looking to get a friend a used bike. It was right after I sold mine last year, so I drifted over to the other side of the dealership where I was looking at an 06 636 sitting right next to an 07 zx-6r. A younger salesman drifted over to help me. I could tell he was trying to press the 07, which was much more expensive. He then proceded to tell me that they were the same bike, but the 07 had new fairings........

After that, i laughed and told him I was good.

I was looking at a zx10r and the dealer told me that it was a great bike to learn on if i took it easy. I also might have told him I didnt know how to ride

"We can't budge on the price of this"

Then I guess it's not for sale to people who aren't suckers! I hate vehicle sales reps.

We only have one left so you better get it fast, we won't get anymore in for a while. Go figure they had 5 more blue 250s a week later.

Oh and "you will get bored of the Ninja 250 in 2 weeks, you should start on this 636...its the perfect starter bike if you lower it 3 inches".

Go figure that guy rode a busa that had the license frame "live fast, die fast"
