450R and YFZ prices outrageous
I went to both a Honda and a Yami dealer today to look at the 450R and YFZ. I was told around $8,000 OTD for each....that is ridiculous! A stock machine for 8Gs?! Maybe the LTR-450 will be worth that, but a YFZ and 450R need at least $1,500 in a pipe, extended a-arms, and an adjustable axle to handle some competitive riding. I'll just keep rebuilding my 250R if these new bikes demand that kind of $$$. Im sure I'll get some replies to this thread that tell me to stop complaining, but does anyone else think these new bikes cost WAY too much? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

You should never pay more then MSRP even with sales tax......Don't fall for the "freight/set up fee".... A Yamaha dealer told me there is about 6 hrs labor assembly/set up time for each quad LOL, total BS.
My Saturn dealer said it would be an hour labor to replace a seatbelt, took me 10 minutes.

If you buy a cycle trader you'll see them for a lot more reasonable prices. They have brand new 05 450r's for 4999 plus tax, and ive seen yfz's as cheap as 5399. Great prices check the trader!

yeah $8000 is a total rip off and way over msrp. take a drive to a different dealer- even if it is in another state. it will save you thousands. go to lakehillmotors or abernathys and there are others. i never paid MSRP for any of the bikes ive bought and i never will.
