Andy RN - I went down to my local dealer(RideNow Sports in Kennewick,WA) in August 2012 when I saw an ad for a 2011(new) on clearance for $3999. I brought cash and was ready. It did not have fuel in it. Also, I was told to give them at least two hours to get a new battery ready(also not in it). There is another one down there right now. It's a blue 2016(new) on clearance for $3699. I've given some thought about buying it - as I haven't ridden mine since April 2014(electrical problem that I haven't tried to fix). Embarrassed

I was going to say to shop craigslist or local ads to find an "almost new" bike, but with that deal Doug B mentioned it's hard not to go after that.

FWIW, I found my bike 4 years old with 400 miles on it sitting in a barn, and bought it for about $2200 in 2012. That's the central AL market and not the OR/WA market, but I think I got a fair deal and got lucky that the seller was honest and there were not issues with the bike from sitting up. Once dusted off and a thorough once over, the bike looked like new.

If you have cash in hand versus financing, look around and you just never know what you might stumble on.

Stew:

Same with my bike, and you can find deals if you are patient and willing to travel a bit. It was a 2007 that I bought in 2012 - it was stored indoors and only had 262 miles on it.....$ 2,400. The owner was a woman who was dating a biker when she bought it - they broke up and she stopped riding.

Use "Tempest Search" to look in the area you are willing to travel to.

Someday I will be old......But not today!

Good GRIEF, what would she have stopped doing if she had been dating a chef? Or a porn star?

JOG2 - I found much humor in your comment Grin

- I need to spend more time on this site - very little since I stopped riding over 3 years ago. Dave - I've gotten 2 great deals on cars(barely used) in recent years - I hear ya. stewmills - this deal for a brand new bike is incredible in this day and age - I have the cash, but have refrained from taking a trip down to the dealership. My bike has only 3025 miles on it - and if I'd get off of of my butt, and get it running I'd be satisfied. I've been too lazy and have been doing other things for over 3 years. Undecided
