Just so you know that I know. The best OTD prices are in the state of CA because they have the sheer volume, warehouses, and closest ports to offer them at the biggest discounts. But none of the big dealers that sell on small margin over wholesale are doing OTD pricing on the b12.5. The closes is $8200 before all fees and that comes to about $9200 OTD for the b12.5, so yes I am off by $2800 for one dealer but most are at $8700 or $9700 OTD. But it would cost you at least $6000 to equip the b12.5 with the 07 GSXR 1000 technology. Just the facts men, but most importantly the truth.
CWO, what you're saying doesn't make sense... and it almost sounds like you are calling us liars.
On one hand you say that OTD prices in California are the lowest anywhere. But the OTD prices you're quoting are way higher than what many of us have paid for our bikes already elsewhere.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but CA prices are notoriously higher than most everywhere else in the lower 48... it's what the CA market will bear, for one thing. And the west coast cost of living is high.
If you don't believe me when I tell you I paid $7749 OTD for my B1250, Call Drinnon's Cycle at (417) 257-7771 and ask Betty. Or ask Katamaniac what he paid for his... $7849 OTD.
In fact, she's got another one sitting on her floor right now she'll sell you for $7849 in a heartbeat. (I got a $100 discount because I've bought a lot of bikes there.) And are you saying that PaulVS is making it up when he quoted what his friends paid in Chicago?
I bet anything Betty in West Plains will sell you a GSXR-1000 for a lot less than $12000. In fact I think her price was under $11K... but you can ask her yourself. You have the phone # now.
