I don't think you can have thousands of dollars of add ons. Its actually quite simple, the price of the bike plus a standard freight and prep which is usually set by manufacturer anyway and sometimes waived by dealer plus tax. Anything else is set by your credit rating if your financing and what ever DMV charges for your tags depending on what state you live in. If your trading in then whatever you negotiated for your trade. The bottom line is the price of the bike is the price of the bike. The rest is normal stuff. I've bought over 10 new bikes and 15 used bikes, there are no real hidden fees unless you go to a fly by night non Honda dealer which may have their own fees, but you should be smart enough to know what your paying for. For me, 8200.00 for bike plus 250 for set up, freight, DMV fees plus tax. I had a trade in so out the door for me was 2k. That will obviously change for anyone else depending if they have a trade in and what condition it is in.
