new 2014 standard price?

[pdedse]

For the West Coast, I think it's a good price. I paid much more than that in March 2014. Then again, it is winter. I would have to try to get heated grips, crash bars, and luggage rack included. Of course, I tried that and failed on my own purchase, but then I completely blew my deal.

I'm an old pro at not paying a penny more than I should for an automobile, but somehow the young motorcycle salesman's tactics threw me off my game. The CB750 purchase before that, with a fellow old guy, went exactly according to plan.

Note: Research the $1000 Bonus Bucks. I'm not finding it right now, but fellow inmates will know if it's still available or not.

From the dealership's own web page, I see that the $1000 "bonus bucks" is offered for the '14 Standard. I was assuming that this is why they have the $7995 price tag on it: they sell it to customer for 8K, they get a 1000 credit from Honda and it really comes out to 9k for them. But if that 1k is at play, maybe they would listen to an offer of 7750 no freight charge...a lot more palatable for me.

I'm just over 6'3". Any tall riders out there that care to comment on the ergonomics with this bike?

I'm 6' even, but have a 34" inseam, and at 58 years old, I found leg room a little cramped. Up until 4 or 5 years ago I had nothing but sportbikes for 30+ years, but these days just don't feel comfortable folding myself up into anything short of La-Z-Boy-recliner-type-comfort positioning.
I bought one of the "high" seats from Samurider (about an inch or so taller than stock), and all ills were immediately cured - in fact, my Tiro seat is also THE most comfortable seat I've ever had on a motorcycle. All other ergonomics are perfect on the bike; now it truly is the best-fitting, most comfortable bike (for me, anyway) that I've ever owned.
Best of luck with your search!

Hey, Papa Weeley,

Thanks so much for the comment. How much did that Samurider seat cost you if you don't mind me asking? My inseam is 34" as well and the slightly cramped position plus shifter angle are my only reservations.
