Get it in writing and take to the other dealer. 8K is good if they are the same bikes.
06 R6 Purchase
So I'm purchasing one soon hopefully.... I got a dealer to tell me $8500 then I went to another and they told me $8000 flat..... So I'm thinking about going back to the one that quoted me $8500 and tell them that I can get it for 8 flat and see if I can have a little battle go on to go the lowest.... I think 8 is a smoking deal... or is it just me? I'll let you guys know what the other dealer says.. and if they drop any on the bike....

Man that is an awesome price.

Theres no way thats otd...
Also, buying a brand new bike is for suckers... as soon as you start it up its worth pretty much half of what you paid for it

i bought my 05' R6 for $6300 OTD... with 0 miles from the dealer... rode it for a year put 9K miles on it... never went down... bald stock rear tire.. painted the windscreen.. drilled the exhaust... Pro Grip tank pad.. and Harris Grips...
Sold it 2 weeks ago for $6800.......
although we all arent that lucky to get a price like that.. but im far from a Sucker:hattip
I live in SoCal and I can't get a regular 06 R6 OTD for less then 10,200. MSRP is 9150.

I got my 05R6 for $6900 and that was through my buddy who owns the dealership. That was the dealerships cost. NO TAX either.
Unless you are being sponsored by this dealership and they take a loss you are fibbing. Motorcycle dealerships mark up the bikes 19-21% from what they pay for them. MSRP -21% is their cost. You claim you got yours for over that mark-up. Dealerships dont lose money on purpose.
Southern California is its own beast! They tend not to budge on the prices too much.LeatherNuts said:I live in SoCal and I can't get a regular 06 R6 OTD for less then 10,200. MSRP is 9150.
Anyhow, no not a R6S.. the R6s is in my sig because that is what I wanted... they sell like hot cakes here and they arnt getting anymore.. It's the black 06 R6......we have no tax or what not in Alaska.. 
If you can get an 06 R6(nonS) for $8000 OTD then buy a bunch and drive them to California and sell them for $10k. That's a smoking deal.
Seriously, if that's the case, I'll fly up to Alaska and ride one back down.AtlantaR6 said:If you can get an 06 R6(nonS) for $8000 OTD then buy a bunch and drive them to California and sell them for $10k. That's a smoking deal.
Actually, after registration and CA sales tax it'd probably be just over $9,000... not worth the 2-3 days it'd take away
So far I got quoted $10,200 but I think the dealer that I bought my '04 R1 from will give me a better deal.
It's not like I can grab 10 of them up for the price... a friend has bought a few rides from them and when I purchase the R6 she will be purchasing an atv and a dirt bike... so it's kinda a special deal.

You don't loose half the value when you take it off the lot, maybe a grand or two but no way does a $8000-9000 bike become a $4500 bike after the first mile is put on it...
....And I'm not a sucker, nor is anyone else for buying a new bike, that comment is rediculous. But I'm assuming there is a little sarcasim in there instead of you just being a prick.
To each his own...

Ha, sucker for buying a new bike. How bout being a sucker when you buy a used bike that has damage you can't see, like internal motor / tranny components due for failure, or crap that has been done to the bike in a half-assed manner. I ain't no sucker, and wouldn't buy anything but a clean used bike if I were to go that route, but overall, gimme my bikes virgin please. You also get the chance on getting extended warranties, (got a 4 year warranty on mine for 500 bucks, yes that's right, 4 years.) Not to mention the cool shops will remember you and hook you up when it comes time to buy goodies for your baby.
