Ther must not be a great demand for the Raptors here in NC. I have called several dealerships and they each have them sitting on the floor. One catch is that they want 7200 out the door is this a good deal? I had planned on waiting till the next spring when I can pay cash but if this bike is that great I may go ahead and get it. What do you guys think, is it really worth it even if I have to finance it?

$7200 isnt bad, I am paying $7050 for mine. I have heard some guys paying only $6500 but I think they are blowing smoke. Retail is $6499 and the dealer has to make some money, plus its not like these quads are going to sit on the showroom floor for a long time, they are hot sellers...

$6,499 is with an assumed profit margin for the dealer.

Yup, I paid $6499 for mine as well. But the dealer tacked on some crap fees. $199 Destination and $129 Prep. But.......North Carolina isn't that far away, RoadTrip anyone???? Heck I'm driving to Columbus Ohio to get mine next month and that is over 270 miles one way, whats another 300 miles???? Especially if I can ride it for an additional month........hmmmmm.....hhmmmmmm...what will wife's reaction be???.....hmmmmmmm...New Raptor Tommarow vs. Upset Wife for two weeks......hmmmm Decisions, Decisions....

Raptors in Phoenix, AZ are going for around $7800-$8000. Be thankful if you can get less than that. I know I would

WOW, they are raping people in AZ! That is way too much. Why are they charging soo much?

The bikes come pre-assembled, all they have to put on are the wheels/tires and handle bars.

They are charging too much for set-up.
