I'd disagree with that, unless you're comparing the same dealership, or roughly the same geographic location.
The price that somebody can pay for a motorcycle in snow-covered Michigan in January is probably going to be much different than the price I would pay in 70 degree southern California in January.
And I agree with Red Mist--I don't care how anybody else feels about how I spend my money. I have a fantastic relationship with my local Honda/Kawasaki/Sukuki/Triumph dealership, and I built that relationship over the last 30 years. When I purchase a bike from them, I feel like I get treated very fairly. And if I text the sales manager with questions about a bike, then he knows I'm serious about spending more money with them. I absolutely take offense to somebody opening a thread on a forum, basically accusing his audience of being a bunch of idiots, who are in need of a financial scolding on their spending habits.
Oh and to Ferret--herding cats is much, much easier than trying to keep a lid on this group of yahoos and misfits (myself included, of course.)
Cheers all.
