I just bought an '04 Busa. I live in the suburbs of Chicago. I paid just under $10,600 out-the-door. You have to remember that just because a dealer is listing a bike for $9,300, that doesn't include setup fees, freight fees, taxes, plates, etc... In my county, taxes are currently %6.75 percent. That alone just made your $9,300 bike almost $10,000 dollars without the extra fees. A good rule of thumb for bikes is to have your final out-the-door price be less than M.S.R.P. Depending on the demand for the bike year, model, color, etc... can play a part in this, but for the most part this is a good rule to follow. The best dealership I ever bought from had their out-the-door prices on tags hanging from the handlebars of their showroom bikes. No haggling, no questions, that was just the price. If they try hit you with a bunch of fees, try to talk them out of it. At least have them go into detail about the purpose of each fee. If you have any other questions, just let me know.
Good Luck,
Peter
