Food for thought, I have come to the point where I think it's insane to buy a new bike from a dealer unless you are looking to do a trade to save on future sales tax from your state or can't sell your existing bike. Out the door the bike drops in value on day 1 at least 15%. I think buying a used bike still with factory warranty left and low mileage is the most sensible option. You avoid paying the dealer for the initial post break-in service as well which is going to be another $500-1000. If you want a bit more protection or convenience, you can buy a low mileage used bike from a dealer. And of course you will save even more from a private seller if you find a good bike reasonably local. For sure not always as convenient; however, it's easier to transact these days with Internet and payment services that offer some buyer protection. Of course everything comes down to timing and finding what you want when you want it.
