kysager Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hey everyone! I am so stoked to find this forum with lots of good info on this sick new bike from Yamaha. I Currently ride a 2000 KTM Duke that is for sale. I have decided to replace it with the FZ-07 and from the videos and reviews I have seen I will not regret it. Hope to have the new bike by the end of the week! Any tips on the bike or awesome sale prices you other SoCal guys got on your bikes would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Premium Member hippiebikerchick Posted September 3, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 3, 2014 Welcome kysager! The FZ07 is a great bike and super-fun to ride! I hope you picked the fastest color, which is rapid red! Illegitimi non carborundum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted September 3, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2014 Welcome. I know there are quite a few SoCal owners here so hopefully some of them will chime in with the best place to get a good deal. You will love this bike, especially if it is red.

Thanks!Welcome kysager, I live in Palm Springs and got my bike from Palm Springs Motorsports. They are a Yamaha/KTM dealer and only charged me their cost for assembly and delivery which saved me about $1000 compared to other dealerships around Riverside, LA etc. Let them know Levi sent you and they may even give you a better deal. Make it stop!....Now make it go faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killafornia Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 What part of So Cal are u from? I think the best deal here in So Cal is $8200 and it was in the LA area, I could be wrong though. I bought mine at Chaparral for $8500 OTD, they have a couple in stock last time I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I have seen that place. Also saw they were a new shop and probably need the business... so they are on my list to check out for sure! I like to support small businesses and local places. I prefer places that treat me well instead of acting like I get the privilege of shopping at their store (cough cough temecula motorsports) haha. Any way thanks again!

Any way thanks again!Yea man, for sure, they are in the summer lull here and just opened. The service is excellent and they do need the business. Hit me up if you're serious about buying there. I'll meet ya there not too far from my place. Let me know when you're up for a ride, you're closer to me than anyone else so far. I took a ride from HWY 74, 371, to 79 to the 8 then the 125 & 805 down to San Ysidro this Monday. It was a long a$$ ride but man were there some great twisties. Temecula is a whole lot closer lol and I can take the 74 all the way to you. Make it stop!....Now make it go faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will also mean the difference of being able to afford an exhaust system and not being able to afford one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
