I paid full price for mine. 2022, 13k canadian, during Covid and used bike I was looking at was a 2018, for 10k. Nothing was clean for the prices around, and I am ass in mechanic, so yeah was more willing to pay a little more instead of bringing it to someone who can repair, but paying hourly, and parts. So yeah, bike is brand new, no problem with it, everyone at the sand dunes have older bike, and just having problems.

Glad it worked out for you and you are enjoying it.

Just got a one year-old bike with an hour meter on it. 13 hours on the bike. Wasn't really riding it decided to sell. I'm in Washington state and most items like this come with at least one or $2000 premium. But I picked up this bike for $8500.save myself over $4000. And I have pretty much a brand new bike.

[@FunGoingFast]

Nice! Barely used is definitely the way to go.

@@FunGoingFast yes after he rode my raptor hrs like I need to get one. Every one who has tryed my raptor out allways come back with a shocked look on there face an say holy smokes this thing is fast lol.

[@macpac3803]

Yeah if your slightly patient you can get a low hour 2018-2022 from $4500-$7000

[@FunGoingFast]

I have seen those in that price range too. That is quite a steal snagging one for $4500. Thanks for commenting.

Dealers are wanting way more (12,000) money than MSRP at 10,300.00 so I won't buy one. The dealers are making money at MSRP so they can stick it . One dealer in Michigan would change over my two tires unless I bought tires from them. I got the tires with the used bike. Another dealer wanted 120.00 to change two tires , I got them changed for 20.00 at a tire shop

[@FunGoingFast]

Yeah its too much. Good point.

[@2000chevy4x4]

Solid advice!

[@FunGoingFast]

Thanks!

They go for 17-18k here in Australia brand new

[@FunGoingFast]

Ouch.

[@goodboyringo9716]

Buying used raptors or any atv in great shape is the hard part. People rip these bike from day one.

[@FunGoingFast]

Very fair point. I have purchased my share of train wrecks.

[@honestjason7854]

When they came out in 2007 i paid $7900 for mine after tax

[@FunGoingFast]

Almost double now with not many changes. Pretty wild. Thanks for commenting.

@@FunGoingFast mine didnt come with piggy back shocks though so i imagine there're some changes but nothing to justify that much of a difference
