[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1178425, member: 3828"] @Townsends - As others have said, separate your trade-in from the deal. It looks like they are looking to make (big) money on both ends of this transaction. Selling your own bike is not that big of a deal, and when it means a couple thousand, it makes it worth the effort. I know I paid too much for mine, but it is an ES, in relatively high demand and short availability. It was there, in stock and I could pick it up as soon as they put it together. I really did not have much room to haggle as it was the beginning of a demo event and they would have a number of other buyers for that bike by the end of the weekend. Their best "deal" was [B]full MSRP [I]but that was the out the door price[/I][/B] $16,890 for the ES. The "A" is $1k less. No adders at all. They even subtracted the $150 doc fee required by the state from the price of the bike to make it come out right. In retrospect, that looks like it was actually OK compared to what some others are paying for them, not as good as others who are willing to either travel or wait. I will be getting the YES from D&H if the local can't price match them, as that can be done remotely and extended warranties from out of state work fine in NH. @Silverhound - I agree, The '14 is the first FJR I've seen that doesn't kerchunk when shifting from neutral into 1st gear.
