If you post yes, please post when/where your deposit was placed, when the dealer told you you would take delivery, and if possible, what other toys you have.

Since this is a POLL THREAD, I am asking that everyone votes, and then make ONE post to justify/explain their position.
I think a "ONE VOTE, ONE POST" format in this thread would be most beneficial.

Discussion on the price can be had here:

Thank you.

Mods-
Please don't let trolls place antagonistic posts in MY public thread, please moderate fairly and with balance, and please don't censor members without just cause like some "other" sites.
Unless the mods deal with the censorship and mods breaking the very rules they are supposed to be enforcing, this will be my past last post on here.
A forum without fair and balanced moderation is pathetic and has ZERO credibility.

I bought my brand new ZX-10 ABS for $12,300 cash.
I bought my brand new GSX-R 1000 for $9,500 cash.

$25,000 for the H2 is a [email protected] joke and even though I have the $25k in cash available, there is NO way I am spending $25k on the H2.
It is NOT worth TWICE the price I paid for my brand new ZX-10 ABS.
I believe the H2 was worth a $5k premium over the ZX-10 ABS.... AT THE MOST.......FOR THOSE THAT WERE WILLING TO PAY IT.

I was ready to buy one until the numbers came out. I've said it elsewhere, but $25k for 200hp and 525 lbs is just not worth it. Not when more can be had for much less. There is effectively a $10,000 premium on the bike over comparable models. Simply not worth it.

As someone who had their checkbook in their hand, ready to be one of the first purchasers, this whole hype train has left me a bit miffed.

You need $2500 DEPOSIT to get one. Tomorrow I will put Pic of my deposit.

MSRP for the H2 in Canada is $27,500 with a required $5000 Deposit.

Should have moved to the U.S. long ago. :laugh:

Congrats again!

Could you please advise what the % Mark-Up is from your Dealer Cost to the MSRP in your country?

Asking for just the % Mark-Up, not the actual Dealer Cost figure which I expect is totally private.

You can send me a Private Message in the Forum if you prefer.

Thanks in advance... much appreciated!!!!

This is the POLL THREAD.
1. VOTE
2. Make your statement post
3. Then, take the discussion to the DISCUSSION thread here:

http://www.ninjah2.org/forum/ninja-...$25-000-msrp-h2-street-price-discusssion.html

The purpose of this thread gets defeated if we don't follow the format above.

Thank you.

MODERATORS-
Can we get a "clean up" of this thread and can I get a response to the PMs I sent you?

Thank You.

Case in point:
We have THREE votes for yes, but only TWO documented buyers (OneArm, Willem)
So, I call BULLSHIT on the third vote until we get a statement, preferably with some supporting info.

Maybe. I do things on the spur of the moment. But, that would mean one sitting in the dealership and ready to go at a time I walked in hungover and killing time. If a dealer called me and offered me a test ride for the day and schmoozed it, they'd probably get a sale. Wife hates the colour but she'd learn to live with it.

Rock.

you can add a poll to your other thread using thread tools at the top of your OP. We don't need to threads and despotic rules for engagement written by a man who has made it explicitly clear he will not be buying this bike.

Stop wasting your time on us, we're just uneducated fools...

I agree.
You are a completely uneducated fool.
I'm surprised you even knew that much.

Put a $9500.00 cnd deposit on November 10 up north Québec, Canada. I almost purchase a ZX10R at the end of september but info on the H2R and H2 caught my attention and made me back off on the deal. I have hesitate as I was not sure to spend $30K for a motorcycle but at the end to much thing where align regarding this purchase and that convince me to go for it.

From what I am seeing, and hearing, you made an outstanding purchase.
I might be ordering one also. This bike will only increase in value, so
spending the money is just an investment.

You should be real happy....

Oh yeah, and you have to keep this bike in pristine, ultra low mileage condition.

Interesting poll results so far, with my vote (no) it's almost even game here. But that's only with 11 votes in total.
