[QUOTE="AdamK, post: 1290007, member: 29576"] Already talked to Cassandra. She doesn't want to commit to anything other than MSRP on a bike at this time. Most of the smaller volume FJR dealers around Seattle I've talked to this week are getting a single A and a single ES. They want to see the level of excitement and maximize their profit on the couple of bikes they are getting. I get that. Some of the higher volume dealers are willing to budge some because they have something like 4 of each model coming in their first allotment. One dealer near Salem is getting close to what it would cost me to get a 2016 ES from D&H if I factor in either shipping it or the cost for me to fly and ride. What I'm trying to do is get a dealer closer to home to give me that same deal. This typically isn't the best time in the cycle to be trying to get a deal on a brand new model that hasn't even shipped yet. There are exceptions though, like D&H. They are getting a big allotment based on their past ordering history, are in a rural area, know that the market is a little depressed and a high volume dealer. They sold over 100 FJRs last year. They are the best option out there so far. I'm just trying to find something similar on the west coast, or even better, close to Seattle. [/QUOTE]
