Otd for under retail is what I Always paid for new bikes, and what I'm waiting for on a gen3.Well the deal has been closed, and this beauty is now in my garage. The dealer tacked on $2149 above the $14.9 price. I went back and forth with them and other dealers until I got what I figured was the best I could do currently in SoCal. $18k out the door and worth it to me.
Congrats! Glad you ended with a decent deal. I hate when they advertise a sweet price and then tack on $2149 in fees,..BS!Well the deal has been closed, and this beauty is now in my garage.

Yes, this ADM practice is madness. I get tax, reg and title/doc. Some of these dealers have gotten pretty sly with their explanation of increased gas surcharges causing freight to go up, and some other bs excuses. I've learned not to haggle on those fees line by line. I made otd offers based on nationwide and local pricing/recent sales. The dealers either played ball or not. Kinda used car salesman practice to list such a low price online to get you in the door. The dealer I settled on had more adm than the closest in stock competitor who advertised no adm/no add on fees, yet still beat him on otd price. I probably would have made the same decision even if their ADM was $5k, as long as the out the door price was the lowest.Congrats! Glad you ended with a decent deal.

Here in the states with gridlock traffic jams happening more than ever you would think people would consider getting on 2 wheels more than they do now.Probably a small percentage of riders planning on buying a gen3, but won't buy the first year of anything new.
Maybe after it's sat in the showroom year, and others have had time to prove they don't have gremlins.
Reading a gen3 insurance thread yesterday had me feeling not so bad, as guys in their 50's and 60's with clean driving records are paying ridiculous insurance on them also, $1500-$2k+ a year.
Which is bs, and another deterant.
Global motorcycle sales numbers continue to be down for the umpteenth year in a row too.
That scenery is magic.I still have it! But it does have to be sold next spring. Gotta fund the next bike.
I put 15k on it in a year, and it runs like a top (30k now). But Busa is better for the kind of riding I do. Wouldja believe I rode this thing across Nevada & back, bone stock seat & bars.

I don’t know how you guys put up with that CA garbage..Ha I saw that. Priced to sell. Needs 7500 miles on the clock to register it in CA. Maybe a 3500-mile trip from OR to CA would work. View attachment 1649942

I thought the CA and 49-state thing went away years ago….thought all bikes are 50-state compliant.No.
You're not allowed to register & plate an out-of-state bike in California unless it has 7500 miles on it at time of sale because an out-of-state bike doesn't have CA Emissions on it. Your non-CA Hayabusa, for example doesn't have the charcoal canister in the right rear tail bulb. CA bikes do. If it's got 7500+ miles on it, no issues bringing in a bike plated in another state. Stupid rule, but that's just the way it is. And yes, you pay sales tax on a private sale bike (again) for whatever you declare the sales price as. I'm annoyed just thinking about this.

Am I mistaken?
