That's very good of them to offer as much as £7500 for your Burger.

Whose the dealer? If it were me I would be tempted as I have a 2010 Burgman and I might to able to squeeze a bit more than £7.5K part-ex

I was offered ...7.5k to swap from my 09 plate burger 400 to the highline demo gt version...any thoughts...

Surely you mean... 7.5k plus your 400 Burger to get the gt?

if not snatch their hands off.

[charles1976]

Yrs plus mine...

Don't get me wrong I'm happy with my burgman but the BMW is different class.

Doesn't sound half as good that way!!!! £7.5K plus a 3 year old Burger sounds a lot of money... There again, I guess my 2008 TMax is only going to be worth something like £2k in a trade in.

I'm not knocking the C600, as I said it's a very good bike. The steering lock fault was pointed out by the salesman! The cost of the basic C600 is about £9500 but the demo bike I tried had extras like the heated grips and seat - this demo bike would cost £9400 in December when it becomes available. The BMW dealer wouldn't move on price and offered me book for my TMAX (£5000) which would have meant a meaty £4500 to change + extras!. Now Woodford Yamaha have done me a very nice deal on a new Tmax 530 which I pick up on Thursday, the C600 may be better in some areas but not £1000+ in my opinion.

Cooo mister a T-Max 530 – can I av a go mister giz us a go

I will give you a virtual go by objectively reporting back my observations - or bore everyone to death by wittering on endlessly about how good it is.
