Price for a new R3R
I have never got a deal on buying a new bike. A couple of free T-shirts or maybe a gift card and that's the best deal I ever got.
 
Cash is king.....! Offer him $12K . The Rocket III to be honest is a hard seller, only for the chosen few . I paid $9K when the asking price was $14K for my 2005 with 700 miles on it. I wasn't there to chisel him down that's all i could afford at the time. He said no way we shook hands I walked out the door leaving him my business card and three weeks later he called me and said come pick it up...!
 
I paid $US19.000 for my new Roadster just b4 xmas here in NZ...($NZ26.500...normally $NZ28.500)....If you can get the same bike for $US12500 then that's a steal!
 
I have never understood how cash could be king, I could be wrong and it would not be the first time but would the dealer not get a kick back from the finance company for using them?

Lets say for example,that your credit history qualifies you for a 5% interest rate. Your friendly finance manager is allowed to add as much as 2% to the loan cost. You get 7% interest rate when you could have paid 5% by eliminating the dealer as a high priced middle man.. The dealer pockets the difference.

Dealer's do get kickbacks from finance companies, but cash is still king, because it is green, and it spends right now. Non cash deals take time to fulfill. A couple days is a couple years in business and if you hand them your filthy lucre you get a better deal.
