In my recent shopping adventures, I've found a dealer who will sell me a new STD for only $7300. After his fees and other b.s., it was $8400. Another dealer advertised "no fees" but still wanted destination fees on top of his advertised price. Used bikes are much easier, as they are already delivered and setup. Doc fees are outrageous around here (Raleigh, NC) on cars, ranging from $400 to $700, all for the privilege of printing a Bill of Sale and taking the documents to the DMV. Criminals, all of them.
Which is why I prefer buying used, from an individual, whenever possible.
As for The ferret, sorry about your hearing loss, I'll try to type louder.
Speaking of... when I was younger, I'd ride without any thought to all of the noise. Now I don't even think about riding without earplugs. I even wear earplugs when mowing the grass, using my little battery powered leaf blower, hedge trimmers, etc. Heck, I slept in them last night (lots of crickets and wildlife outside).
My wife is so bad that if we watch a show with British actors, we have to turn on the subtitles. It drives me crazy (subtitles).
We were in London last month, and she wanted to go see a play. "Why in the world should I pay $300 so that you can sit there and not understand anything that they say?" I asked. She was miffed, but I found my logic to be unflappable. As usual.
But she's a peach. When I asked her if I could buy a motorcycle again, she didn't hesitate to say yes.

My son loves watching that show. I can't hardly hear or understand English accents
Edit: truth is I can barely hear period lol. Reading what someone is saying is so much easier for me
