Was that $8800 the before tax cost?

You may have to add a bunch to listed prices, some can be dealer shenanigans. I paid right at $8800 out the door for my 2014 CB1100 'standard' just a month ago. It was an easy transaction from a dealer 40 miles away. I don't consider my price a 'steal', but ballpark anyway.
My dealer is also within reach if I have any issues the 1st year, with a good reputation. Even though any dealer can service the bike under warranty, it's usually easier from the selling dealership.
That was after everything, prep,setup, tax, plate transfer off my DR-650 and whatever else they could tack on.
