Hey everyone, got my Ryker 900 Rally today!
My Story:
Get this, I got a used one! (didn't think possible yet), it also came with a lot of bells and whistles on it, which sweetened the deal if you can believe it - only had 700 miles on it. The person who sold it had a back injury (not on the bike) and had to let it go and he got a side by side from the same dealership. I'm not going to bore you with the details of trying to go through financing, but OMG never again, one word "incompetent" be careful, the local credit union I dealt with were utter idiots it was amazing to watch - if I wasn't the customer... anyway, I'm new to biking, and I'm older, and to be honest I don't think I have the greatest balance, so this thing got my interest when I looked online. I am happy to say, I'm not disappointed. The drive home from the dealership was a blast. unfortunately it was also quite far. The dealership was in Mesa, I live in Peoria, well over an hour - freeway driving. I was kind of freaked out taking it on the freeway, and always will, but I managed and the bike handled great.

Congratulations.
I'm a new rider as well and haven't tried it out on the freeway yet. Traffic is crazy enough on the regular streets.
One hour of freeway riding to get it home is quite the trial by fire.

I kept it in the slow lane as much as I could and didn't try to do any lane changing unless I had to. Believe me "trial by fire" is the right phrase, I don't think I'll ever be "calm" when on the freeway, which is probably a good thing.

If you don't mind what did you end up financing for, total cost and did you ahve to ut anything down. I know this would be different for everybody credit score. I'm more curious what the used price with the milage stated and I can see you have some extra accessorizes on it.
Re: Hello, new AZ Ryker owner
The financing all together came to a little over 13k, and I went through AZ central credit union and got 5.5 interest with payments about 250/mnth, I did see what the dealership had to offer, but be careful, tell them to only send a request to their best credit union otherwise they will send it out to like 8, and that can screw your credit with all those requests. I got the warranty that the bike originally had and I didn't have to pay for the dealership chargers which where like 800+ if I remember when looking at new ones the price for me and my credit was 15k so I ended up saving 2k. This also came packed with extras that I didn't calculate in: windshield, two cases, aluminum hand protectors, and a phone holder.
the case was on there when I got it. Here is a better picture of it.
