Be prepared for some sticker shock as I just brought home a new Z900RS today after shopping for a few weeks both new and used.
Last new bike I bought was a BMW R9T back in 2018. I bought a leftover 2021 in the most undesirable color imaginable so my deal was an exception vs the rule. The dealer I bought from had the bike discounted a decent amount but they were charging $900 freight and $800 dealer setup fee on the back end….
One DFW Honda dealer had a 1300 mile 2019 model priced decent but their back end charges were $650 for reconditioning and $550 document fees…
From looking at several different dealers it seemed the going rate was around $700 freight and $450 dealer prep, don’t know if dealers are waiving either.
