I was just wondering, if anyone doesn't mind, if you'd like to share how much you paid for your CB, and if you know how well they've sold in your area. When they first arrived here in the Kansas City area back around April they were listed at $9999 for the standard model. (I don't know of any dealer ever having an ABS model). Some were purchased before they even got out of the crate. Now the dealers all seem to have at least one on the floor. The dealer I got mine from had it marked down to $8995 but by they time they added freight, dealer prep, and doc fees it came to $9660. Makes me wonder if they added all that to try and get as close to $9999 as they could for it. I don't remember new bikes I bought in the past having anything added on except the doc fee. I always thought the freight and prep was already included in the price, unlike with buying a car. I pulled out the papers on my 2007 Kawasaki KLR 650 and it was only $4770 plus $100 doc fee. List was $5199. I bought my '98 Valkyrie new from the same dealer I bought my CB from and it listed at $12,799 but I got it for $12,399 plus a $75 doc fee. Did I get screwed or are freight and prep separate fees these days?

Freight and setup are usually separate charges. However, the dealer is free to charge or not charge for either, likewise to sell at list, below list, or even above list. Harley dealers had buyers standing in line to pay 30% over MSRP for years until the fad finally wore off.
My advice is to not think of your bike purchase the same way you'd think about buying a Toyota. Its a toy, not transportation. Shop around, get your best deal, then forget about it and enjoy the ride.

There were a couple long threads on this........you'll find difference in areas of country that have high/low wages, also some guys idea of OTD is different than others.

I just made a deal to pick up my CB100 ABS model for$11,000 OTD in Phoenix AZ. I'll post my bill of sale once I pick it up.
In a AZ that includes sale tax of about 7.8% title, and registration (which includes the personal property tax for the year.)
