Enjoy the bike you have, realize that whatever money you lose is made up for later in life, and you'll have forgotten all about this in a month.
Again, it's not about the money.

If you find that someone purchased an identical bike to yours for $9000, would your fair price for it suddenly become a ripoff? No one ripped you off...you paid a fair price for the bike and the warranty. No one needs to be warned of your mistakes, because you didn't make any. No one has to be warned about your unscrupulous dealer, because they weren't.
You should stop lamenting and complaining and and warning and start riding. Trust me, you'll feel better.
It became a dealer rip-off when they lied to me. The dealer was unscrupulous when they stated the warranty retails for $1500 but could sell it to me for $999. Then, when I turned that down, claimed they could give it to me at "employee pricing" which in fact was above what the actual retail price is. After the contract is signed, which can't be undone, you learn the discount you were given was actually $200 higher than the cost it is really available at. In what world is that not being ripped off? In what world is that not unscrupulous?
I'm here trying to help others out and you act like I'm whining. I am over it. I'm enjoying my bike. You're pretty presumptuous to believe that no-one can benefit from my message. But I'm open to hearing more your opinions. I have a feeling you're full of them.

I'm glad it was mentioned it helped me understand what the purchase price should be. To me it's a good tool to use when I make this purchase before my warranty
expires.
Thanks
