I see your guys' points and I'm sure that if I spent hours, or even days, negotiating with every dealer in the 5-state area, I would find at least one that would be willing to drop the freight/setup fees. Basically it comes down to how much your time is worth to you. For me, the $495 is worth saving myself the trouble and knowing that I'll be out enjoying my new ride right at the beginning of the riding season. Besides, I'm a terrible negotiator and they are already well aware of how badly I want this bike ASAP.
