Okay, I know some of you might be sick of my whining or whatever, but I'm about to go to the dark side and I guess I'm wanting to know if there are any factors you can come up with that will stop me.
First of all, keep in mind that I'm moving to Austin in about a month.
Okay, so a Honda dealership in the Chicago area has told me that my ABS-red cbr250 is coming in last week. Then it got pushed to this week.
Mad-trapper was kind enough to call for me and ask, and they tell him May 26 (next week).
I call today and they tell me that now it got pushed back to June 26. Oh yeah, and non-abs.
I'm getting really sick and tired of the runaround and the fact that the first girl I talk to, GUARANTEES that it's last week (she actually said, verbatim, "the date I'm giving you is definite." Oh yeah, and then she took my $500 deposit.
And also, I really wanted the all-black one to begin with.
Now, I made a call to another dealership, and they have an all-black 2011 ninja 250 coming in on Tuesday, supposedly definite, as well.
I'm THIS close to asking for my money back from Honda and just going with the Ninja.
MPG is 20 miles better on the CBR, yes, but difference in cost for gas is negligible, in my opinion, and the Ninja's tank is bigger. And I like the look of the more-sportsbike-style of the Ninja more than the CBR.
HOWEVER, I hate the thought of having to clean carbs and letting it warm up in the morning. (Although I have no idea if it will be a big issue in Austin weather).
What do you guys think???
