Ditto for the other Honda dealer near me- Pompton Powersports. Why do dealers always have to behave like a-holes and treat you with zero respect?
This is one big reason I don't buy new from a dealer. I would much rather buy a lightly used example from an owner who took care of it. That way, I let someone else eat the 30% depreciation. I must have bought a dozen bikes in the past 15 years and only two had a dealer involved. The first one was a H-D dealer that treated me right, and the only other one was when I won a new motorcycle and picked it up at a dealership out of state.
Oh wait, there WAS one Honda dealer that I got a hot deal from. But that was a long distance deal from the Midwest. (eBay auction) My NT700V was three months old with barely 1K miles on it, still under warranty, and the price was a full 50% off MSRP. You can't beat a deal like that!
