I never engage in any discussion involving additional fees like freight and prep. My sole tactic has been, for years: "will you let go of the bike for $$$ out the door (OTD)?" I tell them that they can assign whatever dollars to whatever transaction category they want from the agreed OTD purchase price of $$$. I just want to buy it for the OTD price and will not engage in any discussion involving fees and such. That's their inhouse gig; it's not mine. The only number that I am interested in is the OTD one. This strategy has worked for me for decades.
Good point, when they start giving you the massive spiel and talking about all those extras, etc and not just giving an outright price, it's worth going elsewhere. Last bike I bought, two dealerships just gave me a straight up best price, the third had the salesman wasting my time pretending to work out a price, which wasn't even competitive, and I'd bought two bikes there before!
I have wherever possible to set the old price as soon as I can possibly get the finished price. Even in second hand market I set price and very little movement as in this was the stated price so that is what will be the cost
@@DavidD-bg7uo Hi, David. Let's start at the beginning, and the beginning is always about prep. After you identify a bike that you want to purchase, do some research to back up your OTD price offer. Go to Kelley Blue Book (www.kbb.com/motorcycles/) and NADA (www.nadaguides.com/Motorcycles) to get their fair market values for the bike. Also check out what that bike is selling for at various sources like Craigslist and CycleTrader.com. Your OTD price offer will have extra muscle if you can back it up with the results of those searches. As for whether you'll have an easier time getting your OTD price offer accepted if you self-finance, yes and no. If you have the funds to take the bike off their lot and inventory ASAP, that can become an incentive for them to let it go. By self-financing I mean cash and/or your own source of a pre-approved loan. Dealerships also get a small cut from a loan that you initiate with them. Keep that in mind when it comes time to discuss how you want to pay for the bike. If you self-finance, they benefit from a quick sale. And if you finance through them, they benefit from getting a small piece of the action. I've had the most luck when I: 1) brought a folder with me containing all of the research that I did about the bike from the sources I mention above, and; 2) told them that I will be financing the bike myself. Hope this helps.
This information is absolutely on point. In a way, it's almost similar to what happened with autos a decade ago. The stigma of purchasing new bikes and eating depreciation is what puts people off. If you wait until the next year, you often stack incentives and get a REALLY good deal. Also be willing to travel/ trailer/ ship the bike across country
2 year's ago I went to our local honda dealer. They had a new old stock honda 230L. At the time this model year was atleast four years old maybe 5. They wanted brand new price for it. I went in and talked to one of the owner's to find out for sure. As my brother had one he had brought from California and I wanted one to go riding with him. Well , that's what they wanted. Brand new price. I told him " you will never sell it for that, to anyone. Because as soon as they take it out the door it isn't worth even half of what they had just paid for it. " He didn't seem to care. Needless to say I most likely will never buy something from this dealer.
Honestly you guys are becoming one of my favorite channels. I love watching the whole experience, the research, thought process and the actually going out and buying the bike. You take transparency to another level. I will Def be buying a bike from you guys in the near future. Thank you!
I bought a new “old” stock gsxr “2 years old “ one time got a heck of a deal on it and they threw in gear and everything . No dealer fees ... it worked out for me ..//
That rang a bell. I wanted a Jaguar car but only had £17k. I emailed the dealer saying I want a new diesel estate but I only have £17k. Have you got one? Yes. The list was £26k and they sold it to me for £17k. It was a discontinued model, brand new loaded with every extra they offered.
Yup! I bought a new 2014 CTX700 2 years ago from a dealer in State College for $4198 out the door..my local Honda Stealer in NY wanted $6100 for the same bike..it pays to shop around..(Cycle Trader)
I just bought my first new bike. Ive owned 60-70 bikes in my life. bought and sold a ton. I moved from SoCal to Utah last year and was dreaming of a 2018 KTM 300xcw 6days for single track in the mountains. Findings: used market here is higher (supply) and there were very few local XCW's because its a popular local model.It was October 2018 and i had just sold my clean 05 XR650L (450r plastics and clean and about $1500 into it) for $3300 and clean 08 CRF450R for $3k (which i paid for it in 2011). So with $6300 cash i started calling large volume dealers and got ridicululous prep and doc fees (I was paying cash and offerred to take bike crated) MSRP was $10,600 plus fees. I found dealer in Salem Oregon (no sales tax state) and paid $9k cash ($2700 net out of pocket). Dealer said they never chage prep fees and I had no doc fee because it came with MSO not title. Paid $300 to ship. Handled the title and tax in UT myself with MSO and got it plated as well. Seriously thinking about buying some 2 stroke motos in CA and reselling them in UT. Lotta folks (like my XR650l)get jammed up with bikes because if tags expire in CA buyer can wind up owing several hundred in back fees to register and UT didnt care. They grabbed the title and registered it
Holy shit this video changed everything lmao. After doing some searching online I'm seeing brand new 2017 bikes going for less than some used ones I've been looking at. Great video again, thanks guys.
Cycletrader has brand new 2018 Ninja 400s cheaper than 2018 used ones. Stuffs crazy. I'm doing my own research. Done listening to normal people who just work, eat, sleep, repeat
Yah-Will-Do-It You find your bike yet? I’m in search of a yamaha mt07. Local dealer quoted me for a 2020 $7600 OTD with warranty. Trying to find a leftover 2019.
@@StunnaDroppedYou Yeah. I ended up getting a new 2020 Ninja 400. My dad told me it's best to get new because (paraphrasing) you make the history on the bike and you know what it's been through
Three weeks ago I bought a 2017 Honda Arfica Twin Manual. Paid 12000 canadian. Plus 700 freight and assembly. Also we have Sales tax and tire tax. All said and done walked out of the dealer at 13500. Cheaper than a used bike. Just like you guys said. It's good to shop around. Plus finance rate is cheaper on new!!
You guys are awesome. I have bought a few bikes in my day and my best deals were always 2-3 yo stock, still in crates at dealerships. Apparently, the dealers have much more incentive to negotiate a killer price. I would buy a bike from you guys anytime. Thanks for sharing your insights.
Its important to pay attention to how you deal with them still even if its NOS bike. I tried to buy a 2018 Triumph Bobber NOS, they had it listed at $10,099. Canadian. By the time they had all the paperwork printed for me to sign it was over $18,000.
In 1989 I bought a 1982 Yamaha Seca 650 that was still in the factory crate for 7 years. Same deal, cheaper than a used equivalent on the road all that time. Mine had a full "new" bike warranty.
Hi there from the Philippines, Your heart is in the right place and I appreciate your Honesty. I have been riding a 2004 Honda 125 wave ( I bought used in 2006) the equivalent of 560 USD. I recently rebuilt the engine and bored it 50 over. I have a total of over 240,000 km on it now, bottom line it's been a great and inexpensive means of transportation. BTW most of those Km's have accumulated since I retired in 2015. Iy's a great bike in traffic around town, but sucks on a long ride I make every month (until this plandemic hit the P.I.). Thus my new project! My new project is a 1992 Yamaha 250 Twin classic with 35,000 km, I bought for 160 USD, that I've stripped down to the bare frame, the swing arm is rusted out so I'm rebuilding it, (finding a new one here isn't going to happen). The bike was run for (I don't know How many kilometers) with no air cleaners and the R/H piston is weak. No Problem I will bore it 50 over and get it going. plus rebuild the Carbs and switch from oil bath air cleaners to Cyclone's. If you're interested I'll let you know how it runs when I complete the project.
I've gotten a couple of screaming deals on new old stock over the years. It is definitely a real thing. Used bikes after a certain year and for certain bikes is still a better deal.
Don't fall for the fees game. As the buyer you don't care. Just show up with a number you're willing to pay. The dealer accepts or declines that number. Maybe they make a counter offer. Always clearly state "out the door" when talking numbers. Make it clear your number is all you're going to pay to buy the vehicle. When you do the paperwork you will see them chop up the dollars however they like. As long as the bottom of the contract matches the number you agree to you don't care how the dealer chops up the money.
Be prepared to walk away when they STILL tack on something extra when you get ready to sign. I almost walked away from a used Hyundai over $80 they added at signing. Clearly negotiated an out the door price and they still played games. They dropped the $80 and couldn't believe I serious about walking away.
Yeah, you think that's great advice, but I work for a dealership and hear that nonsense ten times a day. It doesn't get you a better deal. We know what we're willing to sell for and if you won't pay it, your not buying
Just a quick true story about "Set up" fees. In 2005 I purchased a new (In the crate) 2005 Honda TRX450R quad (I know not a bike), from a Canadian distributor. I purchased everything I thought I needed for set-up (Brake fluid, coolant, assembly lube/grease, motor/trans oils, etc) after uncreating the quad, it needed ZERO prep, I literally put gas in it and rode. So the quad ran right out of the create, however it was very lean from the factory, which was no surprise. After speaking with the Honda service guy, he explained to me that for a fee/$125, he would jet my quad for our altitude (4500') and that service fee was not included in normal prep/assembly (which I now knew there was no assembly required) A $40 JD jet kit and about 40 mins of my time dialed in the jetting spot on. The dealership didn't even have the correct jets in stock if I wanted to buy them separately. So w/that said, maybe street bikes are different, however after that experience, I'm now a little less trusting.
Cash deals are often bad for the dealer. They typically get a kickback on the financing. More so if the finance company is affiliated with the manufacturer itself. Think “Toyota motor credit” or “Harley Davidson Credit”. Some less than reputable dealers will sometimes “hide” a better finance rate because they might get a bigger cut from another finance company that is charging the customer a higher rate. Remember that the finance company pays the dealer immediately, just like if you paid cash, but they also get maybe 0.1% - 0.5% extra because of the finance kickback. Multiply that by hundreds or thousands of bikes (or cars) a year...
Unless it’s a full recourse dealer whereby the risk of default is put back on the dealership. Then cash price is always better because the dealer isn’t taking on the risk. Not sure how it works in powersports. But most Ag dealerships are full recourse.
Almost every dealer does this now. Sad part is. The best rate an individual can get on a purchase, is at the dealership. If these finance company's would allow us "Great Credit" buyers get pre-aproved at a decent rate outside of a dealership, I would be buying more bikes.
^^^this^^^ on my 2019 ninja the dealership was quoting me 12% interest rate through their in house financing. I didn’t think that sounded right so I called up my credit union and they approved me at 6%
Sean I bought a 1982 Honda 900F leftover in 1985 just as the 1986 models were coming out for $2400. It was selling in 1982 for $3400. I keep it for 18 years great bike .
i watched this video and forgot about it, but back in the end of july 2019 i found this to be true when i found a 2006 kawasaki vulcan 1500 f.i. classic which i bought on the spot. it was a new bike and had 1.1 miles on it when i drove it home. thanks for the tip.
I bought a new 17 Africa Twin from Track n Trail back in September. It was listed over $3k less than anywhere else, including used with over 10k miles. After tax, fees and a 6 year warranty, it still ended up costing me way less than any other list price I could find in the entire state.
Sean for a print up just ask for a "purchase order" I do that when I am narrowing down my top 3 bikes/cars right before buying to confirm total out the door all fees included pricing as this lists all fees, taxes, title, and shipping. With this purchase order the dealer can't slip in any more hidden fees to jump the final price up after an agreed on price. I get this AFTER the negotiations after I asked if they would take $2K out the door less than they have listed, if they say no then I ask the same only $1.5K below, then $500 below listed price. Once we agree on the price I get a Purchase Order emailed to me to confirm the bottom line price. As I would use this price to take to my Credit Union. I also have them include my local sales tax, and title fees so ALL the bill is in my loan and no other surprise fees for later.
Sean - FYI - you may be already aware of this, but the 2015 CBR300R was part of a recall by Honda for crankshaft failure. Hopefully, the dealer already took care of this, but worth checking out.
Hi guys, im in the UK and been looking for an NC750DCT the new 1 costs 7.749pounds but i found an 17 model brand new in another Honda dealer same spec just older STOCK at 5500 pounds thats a 2500 pound saving which of course i bought and it included registration road tax AND a full tank of fuel just as it would be buying a 19 new model because Essentially thats what your doing and on the plus side in the uk it will have a 19 registration so unless your really keen and know the newer colors nobody would even know the difference, i hope you get these bikes as im only half why through the vid, keep these vids coming as i love watching you go out and pick these bikes up and your advice KILLER THANKS SCOOBS UK.
Was looking at a 5 year old Kawasaki Z650 for AUD $6800. Ended up buying a brand new 2020 CFMoto 650nk for $7000 with 3year warranty and 12 months registration. The bike is pretty darn good. 👍👍👍
I went to the Honda Dealer in Panama City FL and asked then if they had a VF 750 laying around from the previous year. I picked it up for 1/2 the MSRP from the previous year. They were happy to be rid of it.
There are advantages to buying new, new, but new old stock will be your best deal. Riding a Harley, there are advantages to buying used. The owner usually puts a lot of aftermarket stuff on their bike, but they usually want almost the price of new. I do enjoy your videos and sharing of scripture.
i wish i was part of something like your crew. working a job you actually like with people you like and be able to afford life and live comfortable or at least financially stable..
I bought a 2013 Honda F6b in October 2015. I got it for $12,999 which was considerably less than most of the used F6b's on the market. I flew from Florida to Lancaster, PA to buy it and rode it back to Florida. I rode the bike for over a year and sold it for $500 more than the sticker I paid ($13,500). You can still find 2015 VFR 800's for very cheap today as we speak for this same reason somewhere in the $8k range when new they stickered at $12k. They are more used because most people don't hold the title and have a loan to pay off.
I bought a prior year Yukon (those dealers are so high volume 1 year is basically NOS), and was willing to drive around 5hrs to a high volume dealer in a small Kansas town to get a deal.. ended up buying it almost 20% below price I would have paid locally.. it was a BRAND NEW truck and it was same time of yr as this video (march).. this principle is real
Sean, question: how do you find new, old stock? Is there a online site that collects those kinds of deals or do you just ask individual dealers if they have and "new, old stock" available?
Ok, I want a Yamaha Bolt. And if I take the beginners course and then buy a new Bike from a couple dealers out here, they'll give you credit on accessories like a helmet, Jacket Gloves etc. I sold cars for Toyota. They had seasonal pricing for different times of the year. If you wanted a Corolla, and you wanted the base model, you might not be able to find one for the first two quarters of the year, but come September they'll have them. That's one way they control the price. Then they have different retail pricing at different times of the year as well. You'll probably see the cheapest prices around Christmas, when car sales are down.
Because they make more money. When you put a down payment and can't afford it anymore, they take it back and your down payment paid for months they lost.
Your right. They fudge the numbers and inflate the bike a couple grand when you finance them. Cash is better because you control the narrative not the dealership. I was quoted for my 2021 MT 10 15500 cash. The bike sells new for 12900. Finance was available I put down 2500 and finance 13500 for 5 years at 9 percent interest or a yamaha card no down payment same price 13500 at 25 percent interest. Do the math I opted to pay cash lol. This was a Ride Now dealership in Az.
Unless the motorcycle you want is no longer manufactured or you have mechanical skills, own a garage and know how to wrench, always buy new. Buying used with miles is risky because you have no idea what was done to that motorcycle. Buying new old stock for cash will net you the greatest savings and maximize reliability. If you pick up the bike during off season you will have maximum leverage. To save yourself time and stress, locate your bike on the internet, then call the dealership and lock in an out the door price over the phone. You can do a deposit via credit card and sign paper work using scan to email. Show up with the cash and a trailer. Give them cash, load the bike and be on your way. You can handle insurance, registration and license plate on your own.
Honda just dumped a ton of CTXs, NCs, VFRs and other bikes at huge discounts they are clearing out the warehouses. I saw them hit the dealerships a month ago. Honda North America is revamping its distribution system.
Just info for you! I worked for Honda shop picking up motorcycle & equipment from Seattle docks an ships from Japan. All the Japanese makes were stored in warehouse so long you couldn't see it's end! Honda occupied 90% of that warehouse with Suzuki, Yamaha, etc.. housed in 10%! I was shocked too see how much more volume Honda was bring into America than the rest! (P.S. I got phone call from Mr. Honda asking me too give him my motorcycle so he could do upgrades for his Honda shops in America!) (The upgrade didn't work! Mr. Honda had too take my bike back an redo his creation!) This bike looks like baby brother of my Honda 750 sabre, much fun!
Am I the only one who is concerned that only one of them are wearing seatbelt in that van? Hey guys, please don't die, we love your videos and want more of them :D
If you want to get a good deal on a bike or a car, have a good poker face. The dealer knows you want the best price. You know you want the best price. What the dealer doesn't know is how bad you want the vehicle. Look at it, drive it if possible, never show any emotion towards it. Sit down to get numbers and stay calm and careless about the entire thing. Dont negotiate price at that point. Negotiating too soon shows how much you want it. Most people cave at this point. Give it a week and pop back in and let them know you can probably do the deal if it's for #### specific number. If they accept great. If they dont, make sure they have your number in case they change their mind. Usually by the end of the month they are anxious for sales and will make it happen if the deal helps the dealership as a whole. I worked at a Toyota dealership for 13 years and have seen the game played alot. Motorcycles are no different than cars in terms of sales.
When I bought my first new bike, a Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT, I found two "new old stock" bikes for sale. One at the nearest dealer to me, it was 2017 and the bike was 2015, they wanted the same price as a new 2017 model, full MSRP of $10,000, they would not budge on the price. A dealer 100 miles away had the exact same bike, 2015 model, for $7,000 because it was old stock. Guess where I bought my bike? Shop around, a dealer a bit further away from you might be cheaper.
For your next video it'd be helpful to go over what items maintenance and parts wise you should pay extra attention to on a bike that's been sitting for years.
Worked at a Yamaha dealer and they charged 575 for set up. Now they paid the setup guy minimum wage to assemble units, some took an hour and some 2 hours for side by sides. Hard to sell setup fee when your aware of what they’re paying the dude to do the job!
I have seen used bikes at dealerships that are 3 or 4 years old with 4,000 to 10,000 miles on them and the price is so close to a brand new bike of the same model. That is what I don’t understand, and they don’t want to budge more than a few hundred dollars on price.
Am i the only one who watched this whole video and left with almost no information? So there might be a dealer somewhere that may have "new-old" bikes? Call, go in or just look on their website like normal?
Sean finally changed shirt! I bought a new old stock 2014 VALKYRIE last month out the door, including NC taxes, and fees for less than 10k for a 17k list price. Most used ones are listed higher than what I paid. Also it was my first new vehicle purchase ever and probably my last.
In Germany it’s required by law to state the price including fees and tax. Only if you want to get it shipped door to door you can expect additional costs for freight. You can choose the dealer or a free service to ship to you
I purchased a brand new 2016 model with 1 mile, in August 2018 after 2019 models hit the floor with $2,500 in extras(exhaust, handlebar clip-ons, tank pads, fairing, etc.) ttl for just over $12,000 out the door. 2018 & 2019 models WITHOUT extras out the door were somewhere around $18,500. I did some numbers and i paid somewhere around $9k for the bike itself. I feel like I stole it. Point is, if you do a little research and don't mind buying a couple of years old even though it's brand new and the exact features as the current models, you can get a great deal on a new bike.
Um...that's impossible kid. The damn video was only 28 minutes long. What planet were you on a month ago? Say no to crack and meth. They're not good for ya. xD
@@motoryzen bruh, are you new to TH-cam? You know an ad can be as long as they want right? I've seen ads where it whole length movie worthy. I hit skip ad after the 5 seconds. Crack is whack crack is cheap.
I bought a 2016 Goldwing brand new (3 miles) from my Honda dealer in June of 2019 for $9,000 less than MSRP. It helps if you can find NOS that pre-dates a model redesign. I didn’t like the smaller size of the new Goldwing so I was happy to take the new 2016.
just yesterday i paid $5,700 for a 2017 Honda CBR 600RR with one mile on it. I traded in my old bike too. It was beat up 2016 CB500F. This dude speaks the truth
Merc they gave me 3300 for my old bike. Dropping the 9000 price tag dramatically. I guess not many people are looking for 600cc sport bikes these days. That’s cool... I was
What a great video! Just bought my first bike a month ago and will definitely be keeping this method for buying in mind when searching for an upgrade from my GZ250. Thanks for the video!
In the mid seventies there were quite a few Honda CB 750 NOS bikes for sale. Lotsa yellow ones. By then the CB 750 was old technology, but Honda was still making them. I was severely tempted to buy one at a steep discount. I grew up in York County, so I really enjoy your videos on the road. I've owned about fifteen motorcycles since 1974, all makes and models (but no Ducks yet). The next time I'm visiting old friends in York I'll make it a point to drive over to Lancaster county and visit you.
typically online auto sales sites let you pick the year and if you want to see new/old, so if you pick "new" and "2015" if it is listed with the correct information that would do it
I had the choice of a "new" old stock Honda CB500X with full Honda pannier and top box fitted, 0 miles for a crazy low price or a new Kawasaki Ninja 300 at full price. Bike shop had stopped being a Honda dealership. Very different motorcycles. In hindsight the Honda might have been better for me as I didn't know at the time that I'd have to commute 90 miles round trip to work. Ended up commuting on a KLX250 (with road tyres) anyway. Still have the 300 for when the sun shines. Good video. There are deals out there from time to time if you keep your eyes open.
There's nothing new about a ninja 300....Either you meant to say 400 ( since it is now about one year old at most), or that bike sat up for so long it needs new coolant hoses and will need a half a can of SeaFoam xD
I bought a brand new bike once in my life, and I paid for it through my... "nose". And not just the stupid dealer fees and prep nonsense, but the stupid thing blew up on me 3 times, well within waranty. The 4th time, yes THE 4th time was literally as the mechanic took it for a test ride, with me at the dealership waiting to pick it up. I had a loan on it so I left it with them and never picked it up. Forget the credit, forget the bike... I just left it there... I had enough. And guess what bike that was, 07' Yamaha R-1, with its 5 titanium valves per cyclinder, and every time it was the valve guides breaking loose. So yeah, let someone else weed out the lemons, buy left over or a couple of years used, after the model shows its true colors, especially if its some new model with fancy new tech. A few years later all the bugs and hang-ups will be worked out or revealed, on someone elses nerve. And by the way... NO I didnt ride that R-1 any different than the 03 GSXR 1000 that it was parked next to in my garage at the time, that was a 15k mi. track bike by then, the engine was just overly engineered garbage.
There’s a Genuine Scooter dealer here and their prices are more then competitors, at first glance. The reason it’s more than MSRP is because they include all the fees in their price so what you see is what you pay (plus tax). When you add up the fees, it actually works out that these guys are cheaper then the competition.
Sean that's how I got my deal on my 2012 Yamaha Raider S. I got it in July 1st of 2018, so it was 6yrs old but only had 1 mile on it and was never titled so it was "new old" stock. I got it shipped from the Steward, FL Yamaha Dealership shipped about 800 miles to my house in an enclosed trailer for $13,500 which includes all fees, taxes, title, and shipping, and a new Raider stickers for $15,300 before any fees, tax, title, or shipping. Used my credit union and got 5% APR and got the bike from CycleTrader.com, sorry Sean I wanted new and you don't have new, but don't worry when I'm ready to get my second bike I will call you for a used Big Dog K9 in glossy black.
I've been looking around doing some research for when/if I buy my first bike, and I'm noticing that used bikes (2-4yrs old) are expensive (not enough difference to sway me from buying new) I'm really surprised at the asking price for used bikes. New purchase, for me, offers great flexibility due to having small monthly payments, warranty, etc. Used when priced high is way too risky, even with low mileage. The prev owner could have driven the bag out of it
My first bike was a 2011 cbr250r. I could ride bigger bikes no issues but I reallly ENJOYED how that bike felt. Sat well on it, it was convenient and the gas mileage was beyond ridiculously good. I ride an 03 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 classic with a custom paint job but I still think about that CBR every day lol.
SUBBED you guys are like my buddies back here in the UK i just know we would get along such good business attitude ,and that cbr300 KILLER DEAL you could break and sell the parts for more seeeeyyaa SCOOBS UK.
In the car industry, manufacturers have excess stock either directly from the warehouse, or dealer and do really low deals on new 1,2 or 3 year old new old stock vehicles. I know this because I used to market cars like that online to customers, never held stock only scourced and delivered to the customers nearest outlet dealer.
That van with the bike and couch in it brings back memories. We went from NYC to VA to get a basket Harley and an original 50s speedo from a collector. Man what a weekend. Trashed. A thing the young can only do.
Just bought a NOS 2018 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 for $6500 OTD. Had a 2014 Dorsoduro 750 that was totaled 3 years ago when some asshat cut me off. Fractured right femur and kneecap. Loved it soo much I bought same bike but newer 900 version that has ABS and Traction Control and some other new tech. Glad I waited and got such a good deal!
The Problem is that Son's of Anarchy killed off the Dyna in Harley Davidson's eyes. But now all of a sudden it's like Oh man I gotta have a Dyna and one with no miles on it!!!!
I never cared to buy new. The moment you drive off, typically, you lose about 25% of its value. Around my neck of the woods, I have seen dealerships markdown new, old stock bikes $4,000 below MSRP only to add $3,000-$3,500 in BS fees (plus tax, license & registration). Most bikes come completely assembled so, prep is total BS and I have seen dealerships charging as high as $2600 for it! At the most, they may install the mirrors and the seat which is a 2 minute job. I bought my 2017 MG Stelvio (new, old stock) because it was hard to find even used ones, and the few I spotted over several months of searching were 6-9 years old asking for what I paid for mine which OTD was 40% less than MSRP. It was a no-brainer.
@@kee7678 Dealerships are your best bet. Also an odd option would be is to get in touch with someone who won a raffle bike. Most of the time, the bike is a previous year model and the winner doesn't want it, you can often get a great prize if you got the cash.
My last two bikes, 1998 Vulcan A, 2007 Vulcan Nomad, were both purchased as "New Old" stock. A friend of mine does a lot of window shopping and clued me into these deals. People were shocked at the price I walked away with. The A model I put 115k miles on. The Nomad currently has 82k. Money well, well spent.
All I can say is happy belated birthday and I love your show. I love bikes and rock a beard lol. I'm also a christen and I love how you always spread the good Lords love and kindness through your show. Love you, Craig, Kaleb and the untire crew. God bless you brother and keep up the good work. Love from the ole hillbilly, Peace!
Probably the main reason that a cash deal isn’t an enticement to a dealership is the drug and money laundering laws. Commercial establishments and banking institutions are required to report large cash transactions or in the case of a bank, a large deposit or withdrawal. This requires filling out forms and documenting everything. At one time the limit was ten grand but I think that’s been lowered to five thousand. Big brother is watching.
That's for the tips. I had to sell my Honda VTX1300 to cover medical bills. I just got done kicking Cancer's ass. (Testicular) I tell everyone I now truly have balls of steel, (lol) I'm in the process of saving for new to me bike, and I'm watching all the videos in the meantime. thanks again don't stop putting out all the great videos.... I have a question I have been riding heavy bikes my whole life thinking about switching to sport bike maybe getting something in the 650 range??? would like opinion thanks again. ride hard ride safe
Omg I love that bike.... i looked at the exact bike 1 month before my wife got pregnant so WE decided to wait. It is an amazing beginner bike. thanks again guys love the videos
i found a used 2017 crf250l rally in my town for $5400 with about a 1000 miles on it. And that didnt include the fees which would of been $600 more. Outrageous. I drove 30 miles and got a brand new 2 mile 2017 250 rally for $5100 out the door. Older models that dont sell, i have found to be cheaper and thats how i bought my last 4 motorcycles
The doc fees and freight charges are BS in Canada! I’ve worked at dealerships in Canada, selling both cars and bikes. The Freight charges and Doc fees are always built into the listing price of the vehicles, at least in British Columbia anyways

I never engage in any discussion involving additional fees like freight and prep. My sole tactic has been, for years: "will you let go of the bike for $$$ out the door (OTD)?"
I tell them that they can assign whatever dollars to whatever transaction category they want from the agreed OTD purchase price of $$$. I just want to buy it for the OTD price and will not engage in any discussion involving fees and such. That's their inhouse gig; it's not mine. The only number that I am interested in is the OTD one.
This strategy has worked for me for decades.
here in the uk the dealers tell you on the road price .out the door
Good point, when they start giving you the massive spiel and talking about all those extras, etc and not just giving an outright price, it's worth going elsewhere. Last bike I bought, two dealerships just gave me a straight up best price, the third had the salesman wasting my time pretending to work out a price, which wasn't even competitive, and I'd bought two bikes there before!
I have wherever possible to set the old price as soon as I can possibly get the finished price. Even in second hand market I set price and very little movement as in this was the stated price so that is what will be the cost
Price + Tax is all i'll pay.
@@DavidD-bg7uo Hi, David. Let's start at the beginning, and the beginning is always about prep.
After you identify a bike that you want to purchase, do some research to back up your OTD price offer. Go to Kelley Blue Book (www.kbb.com/motorcycles/) and NADA (www.nadaguides.com/Motorcycles) to get their fair market values for the bike. Also check out what that bike is selling for at various sources like Craigslist and CycleTrader.com. Your OTD price offer will have extra muscle if you can back it up with the results of those searches.
As for whether you'll have an easier time getting your OTD price offer accepted if you self-finance, yes and no. If you have the funds to take the bike off their lot and inventory ASAP, that can become an incentive for them to let it go. By self-financing I mean cash and/or your own source of a pre-approved loan.
Dealerships also get a small cut from a loan that you initiate with them. Keep that in mind when it comes time to discuss how you want to pay for the bike. If you self-finance, they benefit from a quick sale. And if you finance through them, they benefit from getting a small piece of the action.
I've had the most luck when I: 1) brought a folder with me containing all of the research that I did about the bike from the sources I mention above, and; 2) told them that I will be financing the bike myself.
Hope this helps.
This information is absolutely on point. In a way, it's almost similar to what happened with autos a decade ago. The stigma of purchasing new bikes and eating depreciation is what puts people off. If you wait until the next year, you often stack incentives and get a REALLY good deal. Also be willing to travel/ trailer/ ship the bike across country
2 year's ago I went to our local honda dealer. They had a new old stock honda 230L. At the time this model year was atleast four years old maybe 5. They wanted brand new price for it. I went in and talked to one of the owner's to find out for sure. As my brother had one he had brought from California and I wanted one to go riding with him. Well , that's what they wanted. Brand new price. I told him " you will never sell it for that, to anyone. Because as soon as they take it out the door it isn't worth even half of what they had just paid for it. " He didn't seem to care. Needless to say I most likely will never buy something from this dealer.
Honestly you guys are becoming one of my favorite channels. I love watching the whole experience, the research, thought process and the actually going out and buying the bike. You take transparency to another level. I will Def be buying a bike from you guys in the near future. Thank you!
I bought a new “old” stock gsxr “2 years old “ one time got a heck of a deal on it and they threw in gear and everything . No dealer fees ... it worked out for me ..//
Did you finance it ?
That rang a bell. I wanted a Jaguar car but only had £17k. I emailed the dealer saying I want a new diesel estate but I only have £17k. Have you got one? Yes. The list was £26k and they sold it to me for £17k. It was a discontinued model, brand new loaded with every extra they offered.
Yup! I bought a new 2014 CTX700 2 years ago from a dealer in State College for $4198 out the door..my local Honda Stealer in NY wanted $6100 for the same bike..it pays to shop around..(Cycle Trader)
I just bought my first new bike. Ive owned 60-70 bikes in my life. bought and sold a ton. I moved from SoCal to Utah last year and was dreaming of a 2018 KTM 300xcw 6days for single track in the mountains. Findings: used market here is higher (supply) and there were very few local XCW's because its a popular local model.It was October 2018 and i had just sold my clean 05 XR650L (450r plastics and clean and about $1500 into it) for $3300 and clean 08 CRF450R for $3k (which i paid for it in 2011). So with $6300 cash i started calling large volume dealers and got ridicululous prep and doc fees (I was paying cash and offerred to take bike crated)
MSRP was $10,600 plus fees. I found dealer in Salem Oregon (no sales tax state) and paid $9k cash ($2700 net out of pocket). Dealer said they never chage prep fees and I had no doc fee because it came with MSO not title. Paid $300 to ship. Handled the title and tax in UT myself with MSO and got it plated as well. Seriously thinking about buying some 2 stroke motos in CA and reselling them in UT. Lotta folks (like my XR650l)get jammed up with bikes because if tags expire in CA buyer can wind up owing several hundred in back fees to register and UT didnt care. They grabbed the title and registered it
if you was to sell that 300cbr, you would need 3k plus your 2 hour drive gas, time,, ,, I absolutely love your open honesty
Holy shit this video changed everything lmao. After doing some searching online I'm seeing brand new 2017 bikes going for less than some used ones I've been looking at. Great video again, thanks guys.

Three weeks ago I bought a 2017 Honda Arfica Twin Manual. Paid 12000 canadian. Plus 700 freight and assembly. Also we have Sales tax and tire tax. All said and done walked out of the dealer at 13500. Cheaper than a used bike. Just like you guys said. It's good to shop around. Plus finance rate is cheaper on new!!
You guys are awesome. I have bought a few bikes in my day and my best deals were always 2-3 yo stock, still in crates at dealerships. Apparently, the dealers have much more incentive to negotiate a killer price. I would buy a bike from you guys anytime. Thanks for sharing your insights.
Its important to pay attention to how you deal with them still even if its NOS bike. I tried to buy a 2018 Triumph Bobber NOS, they had it listed at $10,099. Canadian. By the time they had all the paperwork printed for me to sign it was over $18,000.
In 1989 I bought a 1982 Yamaha Seca 650 that was still in the factory crate for 7 years. Same deal, cheaper than a used equivalent on the road all that time. Mine had a full "new" bike warranty.
Hi there from the Philippines, Your heart is in the right place and I appreciate your Honesty. I have been riding a 2004 Honda 125 wave ( I bought used in 2006) the equivalent of 560 USD. I recently rebuilt the engine and bored it 50 over. I have a total of over 240,000 km on it now, bottom line it's been a great and inexpensive means of transportation. BTW most of those Km's have accumulated since I retired in 2015. Iy's a great bike in traffic around town, but sucks on a long ride I make every month (until this plandemic hit the P.I.). Thus my new project!
My new project is a 1992 Yamaha 250 Twin classic with 35,000 km, I bought for 160 USD, that I've stripped down to the bare frame, the swing arm is rusted out so I'm rebuilding it, (finding a new one here isn't going to happen). The bike was run for (I don't know How many kilometers) with no air cleaners and the R/H piston is weak. No Problem I will bore it 50 over and get it going. plus rebuild the Carbs and switch from oil bath air cleaners to Cyclone's. If you're interested I'll let you know how it runs when I complete the project.
I've gotten a couple of screaming deals on new old stock over the years. It is definitely a real thing. Used bikes after a certain year and for certain bikes is still a better deal.
Don't fall for the fees game. As the buyer you don't care.
Just show up with a number you're willing to pay. The dealer accepts or declines that number. Maybe they make a counter offer.
Always clearly state "out the door" when talking numbers. Make it clear your number is all you're going to pay to buy the vehicle.
When you do the paperwork you will see them chop up the dollars however they like. As long as the bottom of the contract matches the number you agree to you don't care how the dealer chops up the money.
Hey what do you mean by out the door? Does that mean everything included. i.e. insurance, registration etc?
Yes, out the door price won't hide fees, and negotiate from there. Dealers buy at manufacturer auctions for leftover new bikes.
Be prepared to walk away when they STILL tack on something extra when you get ready to sign. I almost walked away from a used Hyundai over $80 they added at signing. Clearly negotiated an out the door price and they still played games. They dropped the $80 and couldn't believe I serious about walking away.
Yeah, you think that's great advice, but I work for a dealership and hear that nonsense ten times a day. It doesn't get you a better deal. We know what we're willing to sell for and if you won't pay it, your not buying
seattlegrrlie so what’s your advice?
Just a quick true story about "Set up" fees.
In 2005 I purchased a new (In the crate) 2005 Honda TRX450R quad (I know not a bike), from a Canadian distributor. I purchased everything I thought I needed for set-up (Brake fluid, coolant, assembly lube/grease, motor/trans oils, etc) after uncreating the quad, it needed ZERO prep, I literally put gas in it and rode.
So the quad ran right out of the create, however it was very lean from the factory, which was no surprise. After speaking with the Honda service guy, he explained to me that for a fee/$125, he would jet my quad for our altitude (4500') and that service fee was not included in normal prep/assembly (which I now knew there was no assembly required)
A $40 JD jet kit and about 40 mins of my time dialed in the jetting spot on. The dealership didn't even have the correct jets in stock if I wanted to buy them separately.
So w/that said, maybe street bikes are different, however after that experience, I'm now a little less trusting.
Cash deals are often bad for the dealer. They typically get a kickback on the financing. More so if the finance company is affiliated with the manufacturer itself. Think “Toyota motor credit” or “Harley Davidson Credit”. Some less than reputable dealers will sometimes “hide” a better finance rate because they might get a bigger cut from another finance company that is charging the customer a higher rate. Remember that the finance company pays the dealer immediately, just like if you paid cash, but they also get maybe 0.1% - 0.5% extra because of the finance kickback. Multiply that by hundreds or thousands of bikes (or cars) a year...
Unless it’s a full recourse dealer whereby the risk of default is put back on the dealership. Then cash price is always better because the dealer isn’t taking on the risk. Not sure how it works in powersports. But most Ag dealerships are full recourse.
Almost every dealer does this now. Sad part is. The best rate an individual can get on a purchase, is at the dealership. If these finance company's would allow us "Great Credit" buyers get pre-aproved at a decent rate outside of a dealership, I would be buying more bikes.
Yeah, the kickbacks ruined car buying, I'll be keeping my truck 20 years I hated it so much. AutoNation sucks.
Or they will actually change the finance company on you after you purchase.
^^^this^^^ on my 2019 ninja the dealership was quoting me 12% interest rate through their in house financing. I didn’t think that sounded right so I called up my credit union and they approved me at 6%
Sean I bought a 1982 Honda 900F leftover in 1985 just as the 1986 models were coming out for $2400. It was selling in 1982 for $3400. I keep it for 18 years great bike .
i watched this video and forgot about it, but back in the end of july 2019 i found this to be true when i found a 2006 kawasaki vulcan 1500 f.i. classic which i bought on the spot. it was a new bike and had 1.1 miles on it when i drove it home. thanks for the tip.
I recently picked up a new 2019 ninja 650 for way less than retail because it was last years stock. Definitely the way to go!
I bought a new 17 Africa Twin from Track n Trail back in September. It was listed over $3k less than anywhere else, including used with over 10k miles. After tax, fees and a 6 year warranty, it still ended up costing me way less than any other list price I could find in the entire state.
Sean for a print up just ask for a "purchase order" I do that when I am narrowing down my top 3 bikes/cars right before buying to confirm total out the door all fees included pricing as this lists all fees, taxes, title, and shipping. With this purchase order the dealer can't slip in any more hidden fees to jump the final price up after an agreed on price. I get this AFTER the negotiations after I asked if they would take $2K out the door less than they have listed, if they say no then I ask the same only $1.5K below, then $500 below listed price. Once we agree on the price I get a Purchase Order emailed to me to confirm the bottom line price. As I would use this price to take to my Credit Union. I also have them include my local sales tax, and title fees so ALL the bill is in my loan and no other surprise fees for later.
Sean - FYI - you may be already aware of this, but the 2015 CBR300R was part of a recall by Honda for crankshaft failure. Hopefully, the dealer already took care of this, but worth checking out.
All recalls have to be completed before sales registered

I went to the Honda Dealer in Panama City FL and asked then if they had a VF 750 laying around from the previous year. I picked it up for 1/2 the MSRP from the previous year. They were happy to be rid of it.
There are advantages to buying new, new, but new old stock will be your best deal. Riding a Harley, there are advantages to buying used. The owner usually puts a lot of aftermarket stuff on their bike, but they usually want almost the price of new. I do enjoy your videos and sharing of scripture.
i wish i was part of something like your crew. working a job you actually like with people you like and be able to afford life and live comfortable or at least financially stable..
We owned one of the first BMW shops in DFW, TX during the late 60s and early 70s. Miss those times. Keep up the good work, brother. Nice bikes.

I bought a 2013 Honda F6b in October 2015. I got it for $12,999 which was considerably less than most of the used F6b's on the market. I flew from Florida to Lancaster, PA to buy it and rode it back to Florida. I rode the bike for over a year and sold it for $500 more than the sticker I paid ($13,500). You can still find 2015 VFR 800's for very cheap today as we speak for this same reason somewhere in the $8k range when new they stickered at $12k. They are more used because most people don't hold the title and have a loan to pay off.
Love what you're doing Sean. Love your content, the words of wisdom and the funny moments that you're sharing with the world. Keep it up!!
I bought a prior year Yukon (those dealers are so high volume 1 year is basically NOS), and was willing to drive around 5hrs to a high volume dealer in a small Kansas town to get a deal.. ended up buying it almost 20% below price I would have paid locally.. it was a BRAND NEW truck and it was same time of yr as this video (march).. this principle is real
Sean, question: how do you find new, old stock? Is there a online site that collects those kinds of deals or do you just ask individual dealers if they have and "new, old stock" available?
Great question. Dealers near me don’t show any on their websites.
Ok, I want a Yamaha Bolt. And if I take the beginners course and then buy a new Bike from a couple dealers out here, they'll give you credit on accessories like a helmet, Jacket Gloves etc.
I sold cars for Toyota. They had seasonal pricing for different times of the year. If you wanted a Corolla, and you wanted the base model, you might not be able to find one for the first two quarters of the year, but come September they'll have them. That's one way they control the price. Then they have different retail pricing at different times of the year as well. You'll probably see the cheapest prices around Christmas, when car sales are down.
Cash doesn’t command any bargains anymore. In most cases they want you to finance.
Because they make more money. When you put a down payment and can't afford it anymore, they take it back and your down payment paid for months they lost.
@@alink5969 The "buy here / pay here lots depend on that plan.
The dealership can make more money when you finance
Anyone know the website they were on
Your right. They fudge the numbers and inflate the bike a couple grand when you finance them. Cash is better because you control the narrative not the dealership. I was quoted for my 2021 MT 10 15500 cash. The bike sells new for 12900. Finance was available I put down 2500 and finance 13500 for 5 years at 9 percent interest or a yamaha card no down payment same price 13500 at 25 percent interest. Do the math I opted to pay cash lol. This was a Ride Now dealership in Az.
Unless the motorcycle you want is no longer manufactured or you have mechanical skills, own a garage and know how to wrench, always buy new. Buying used with miles is risky because you have no idea what was done to that motorcycle. Buying new old stock for cash will net you the greatest savings and maximize reliability. If you pick up the bike during off season you will have maximum leverage. To save yourself time and stress, locate your bike on the internet, then call the dealership and lock in an out the door price over the phone. You can do a deposit via credit card and sign paper work using scan to email. Show up with the cash and a trailer. Give them cash, load the bike and be on your way. You can handle insurance, registration and license plate on your own.
That’s the most retarded thing I’ve ever heard.
Honda just dumped a ton of CTXs, NCs, VFRs and other bikes at huge discounts they are clearing out the warehouses. I saw them hit the dealerships a month ago. Honda North America is revamping its distribution system.
Just info for you! I worked for Honda shop picking up motorcycle & equipment from Seattle docks an ships from Japan. All the Japanese makes were stored in warehouse so long you couldn't see it's end! Honda occupied 90% of that warehouse with Suzuki, Yamaha, etc.. housed in 10%! I was shocked too see how much more volume Honda was bring into America than the rest! (P.S. I got phone call from Mr. Honda asking me too give him my motorcycle so he could do upgrades for his Honda shops in America!) (The upgrade didn't work! Mr. Honda had too take my bike back an redo his creation!) This bike looks like baby brother of my Honda 750 sabre, much fun!
Am I the only one who is concerned that only one of them are wearing seatbelt in that van?
Hey guys, please don't die, we love your videos and want more of them :D
If you want to get a good deal on a bike or a car, have a good poker face. The dealer knows you want the best price. You know you want the best price. What the dealer doesn't know is how bad you want the vehicle. Look at it, drive it if possible, never show any emotion towards it. Sit down to get numbers and stay calm and careless about the entire thing. Dont negotiate price at that point. Negotiating too soon shows how much you want it. Most people cave at this point. Give it a week and pop back in and let them know you can probably do the deal if it's for #### specific number. If they accept great. If they dont, make sure they have your number in case they change their mind. Usually by the end of the month they are anxious for sales and will make it happen if the deal helps the dealership as a whole. I worked at a Toyota dealership for 13 years and have seen the game played alot. Motorcycles are no different than cars in terms of sales.
Anyone can ask any price for anything they'd like to sell - but there's a difference between asking and getting...
When I bought my first new bike, a Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT, I found two "new old stock" bikes for sale. One at the nearest dealer to me, it was 2017 and the bike was 2015, they wanted the same price as a new 2017 model, full MSRP of $10,000, they would not budge on the price. A dealer 100 miles away had the exact same bike, 2015 model, for $7,000 because it was old stock. Guess where I bought my bike? Shop around, a dealer a bit further away from you might be cheaper.
For your next video it'd be helpful to go over what items maintenance and parts wise you should pay extra attention to on a bike that's been sitting for years.
Worked at a Yamaha dealer and they charged 575 for set up. Now they paid the setup guy minimum wage to assemble units, some took an hour and some 2 hours for side by sides. Hard to sell setup fee when your aware of what they’re paying the dude to do the job!
Love the end bits. Also kudos on the new format you have been using on your videos I like it.
I have seen used bikes at dealerships that are 3 or 4 years old with 4,000 to 10,000 miles on them and the price is so close to a brand new bike of the same model. That is what I don’t understand, and they don’t want to budge more than a few hundred dollars on price.
Am i the only one who watched this whole video and left with almost no information? So there might be a dealer somewhere that may have "new-old" bikes? Call, go in or just look on their website like normal?
You're a good man. Keep up the work, love the faith brother, you're truly blessed.
That was actreally interesting. Great channel. Thanks from UK 🇬🇧
Sean finally changed shirt! I bought a new old stock 2014 VALKYRIE last month out the door, including NC taxes, and fees for less than 10k for a 17k list price. Most used ones are listed higher than what I paid. Also it was my first new vehicle purchase ever and probably my last.
In Germany it’s required by law to state the price including fees and tax. Only if you want to get it shipped door to door you can expect additional costs for freight. You can choose the dealer or a free service to ship to you
You are correct.2017 Moto Guzzi Griso's most seem to be on the west coast are selling for $7999 brand new...cheaper than a used one
I would like to know how you found the new old stock bike.
The internet chief.
I purchased a brand new 2016 model with 1 mile, in August 2018 after 2019 models hit the floor with $2,500 in extras(exhaust, handlebar clip-ons, tank pads, fairing, etc.) ttl for just over $12,000 out the door. 2018 & 2019 models WITHOUT extras out the door were somewhere around $18,500. I did some numbers and i paid somewhere around $9k for the bike itself. I feel like I stole it. Point is, if you do a little research and don't mind buying a couple of years old even though it's brand new and the exact features as the current models, you can get a great deal on a new bike.

I bought a 2016 Goldwing brand new (3 miles) from my Honda dealer in June of 2019 for $9,000 less than MSRP. It helps if you can find NOS that pre-dates a model redesign. I didn’t like the smaller size of the new Goldwing so I was happy to take the new 2016.

Merc they gave me 3300 for my old bike. Dropping the 9000 price tag dramatically. I guess not many people are looking for 600cc sport bikes these days. That’s cool... I was

In the mid seventies there were quite a few Honda CB 750 NOS bikes for sale. Lotsa yellow ones. By then the CB 750 was old technology, but Honda was still making them. I was severely tempted to buy one at a steep discount. I grew up in York County, so I really enjoy your videos on the road. I've owned about fifteen motorcycles since 1974, all makes and models (but no Ducks yet). The next time I'm visiting old friends in York I'll make it a point to drive over to Lancaster county and visit you.
how do you go about finding new old stock?
I was wondering the same!
typically online auto sales sites let you pick the year and if you want to see new/old, so if you pick "new" and "2015" if it is listed with the correct information that would do it
I had the choice of a "new" old stock Honda CB500X with full Honda pannier and top box fitted, 0 miles for a crazy low price or a new Kawasaki Ninja 300 at full price. Bike shop had stopped being a Honda dealership. Very different motorcycles. In hindsight the Honda might have been better for me as I didn't know at the time that I'd have to commute 90 miles round trip to work. Ended up commuting on a KLX250 (with road tyres) anyway. Still have the 300 for when the sun shines. Good video. There are deals out there from time to time if you keep your eyes open.
There's nothing new about a ninja 300....Either you meant to say 400 ( since it is now about one year old at most), or that bike sat up for so long it needs new coolant hoses and will need a half a can of SeaFoam xD
I want to have the new old stock cbr 300.we just don't see them in great Britain please let me know what you want for it
We already sold it
I bought a brand new bike once in my life, and I paid for it through my... "nose". And not just the stupid dealer fees and prep nonsense, but the stupid thing blew up on me 3 times, well within waranty. The 4th time, yes THE 4th time was literally as the mechanic took it for a test ride, with me at the dealership waiting to pick it up. I had a loan on it so I left it with them and never picked it up. Forget the credit, forget the bike... I just left it there... I had enough. And guess what bike that was, 07' Yamaha R-1, with its 5 titanium valves per cyclinder, and every time it was the valve guides breaking loose. So yeah, let someone else weed out the lemons, buy left over or a couple of years used, after the model shows its true colors, especially if its some new model with fancy new tech. A few years later all the bugs and hang-ups will be worked out or revealed, on someone elses nerve. And by the way... NO I didnt ride that R-1 any different than the 03 GSXR 1000 that it was parked next to in my garage at the time, that was a 15k mi. track bike by then, the engine was just overly engineered garbage.
I just purchased a 2017 fireblade with 1 mile for $5,500 less than MSRP
Little different, but I just bought a 2019 ninja 400 for $3700 msrp is $5500
There’s a Genuine Scooter dealer here and their prices are more then competitors, at first glance. The reason it’s more than MSRP is because they include all the fees in their price so what you see is what you pay (plus tax).
When you add up the fees, it actually works out that these guys are cheaper then the competition.
Seems like they're likely losing business from this.
Why aren't you wearing your seatbelt??
Sean that's how I got my deal on my 2012 Yamaha Raider S. I got it in July 1st of 2018, so it was 6yrs old but only had 1 mile on it and was never titled so it was "new old" stock. I got it shipped from the Steward, FL Yamaha Dealership shipped about 800 miles to my house in an enclosed trailer for $13,500 which includes all fees, taxes, title, and shipping, and a new Raider stickers for $15,300 before any fees, tax, title, or shipping. Used my credit union and got 5% APR and got the bike from CycleTrader.com, sorry Sean I wanted new and you don't have new, but don't worry when I'm ready to get my second bike I will call you for a used Big Dog K9 in glossy black.
I've been looking around doing some research for when/if I buy my first bike, and I'm noticing that used bikes (2-4yrs old) are expensive (not enough difference to sway me from buying new)
I'm really surprised at the asking price for used bikes. New purchase, for me, offers great flexibility due to having small monthly payments, warranty, etc.
Used when priced high is way too risky, even with low mileage. The prev owner could have driven the bag out of it
Well said. I've been finding out the same thing.
My first bike was a 2011 cbr250r. I could ride bigger bikes no issues but I reallly ENJOYED how that bike felt. Sat well on it, it was convenient and the gas mileage was beyond ridiculously good. I ride an 03 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 classic with a custom paint job but I still think about that CBR every day lol.
SUBBED you guys are like my buddies back here in the UK i just know we would get along such good business attitude ,and that cbr300 KILLER DEAL you could break and sell the parts for more seeeeyyaa SCOOBS UK.
In the car industry, manufacturers have excess stock either directly from the warehouse, or dealer and do really low deals on new 1,2 or 3 year old new old stock vehicles.
I know this because I used to market cars like that online to customers, never held stock only scourced and delivered to the customers nearest outlet dealer.
I hear that this is a good beginner bike 🤔
Great tips. Using the info you shared, I am purchasing a new 2018 Bonneville at a ridiculously low price. Zero miles- I’ll be the first to ride it!!
Happy belated birthday. Where do I send an invoice for 22:03 minutes of my time?
That van with the bike and couch in it brings back memories. We went from NYC to VA to get a basket Harley and an original 50s speedo from a collector. Man what a weekend. Trashed. A thing the young can only do.
Appreciate the Bible verse of the day and the other information!
Just bought a NOS 2018 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 for $6500 OTD. Had a 2014 Dorsoduro 750 that was totaled 3 years ago when some asshat cut me off. Fractured right femur and kneecap. Loved it soo much I bought same bike but newer 900 version that has ABS and Traction Control and some other new tech. Glad I waited and got such a good deal!
Awww, now I feel bad for not leaving a nasty message. Maybe next time......
Just picked up a NOS, 0 miles on her, '17 Concours 14 for 11,649 OTD!!! NOS is the way to go!!!
The Problem is that Son's of Anarchy killed off the Dyna in Harley Davidson's eyes. But now all of a sudden it's like Oh man I gotta have a Dyna and one with no miles on it!!!!
Wtf are you talking about? None of that makes sense.
@@VndNvwYvvSvv it really doesn't make sense lmfao
I never cared to buy new. The moment you drive off, typically, you lose about 25% of its value. Around my neck of the woods, I have seen dealerships markdown new, old stock bikes $4,000 below MSRP only to add $3,000-$3,500 in BS fees (plus tax, license & registration). Most bikes come completely assembled so, prep is total BS and I have seen dealerships charging as high as $2600 for it!
At the most, they may install the mirrors and the seat which is a 2 minute job.
I bought my 2017 MG Stelvio (new, old stock) because it was hard to find even used ones, and the few I spotted over several months of searching were 6-9 years old asking for what I paid for mine which OTD was 40% less than MSRP. It was a no-brainer.
where is the best place or any places to look to find New Old Stock bikes ?
@@kee7678 Dealerships are your best bet.
Also an odd option would be is to get in touch with someone who won a raffle bike. Most of the time, the bike is a previous year model and the winner doesn't want it, you can often get a great prize if you got the cash.
I saved 8k on my Indian Cheiftan
Auto Barry I saved 20 grand - I didn’t buy one.
My last two bikes, 1998 Vulcan A, 2007 Vulcan Nomad, were both purchased as "New Old" stock. A friend of mine does a lot of window shopping and clued me into these deals. People were shocked at the price I walked away with. The A model I put 115k miles on. The Nomad currently has 82k. Money well, well spent.
I'll give you $3,000 for the bike.

All I can say is happy belated birthday and I love your show. I love bikes and rock a beard lol. I'm also a christen and I love how you always spread the good Lords love and kindness through your show. Love you, Craig, Kaleb and the untire crew. God bless you brother and keep up the good work. Love from the ole hillbilly, Peace!
Exactly what I did, I bought a five year old Honda as new old stock and saved thousands.
Probably the main reason that a cash deal isn’t an enticement to a dealership is the drug and money laundering laws. Commercial establishments and banking institutions are required to report large cash transactions or in the case of a bank, a large deposit or withdrawal. This requires filling out forms and documenting everything. At one time the limit was ten grand but I think that’s been lowered to five thousand. Big brother is watching.
I bought my Z900 NOS. June of 2018, I bought my 2017 Z900 for $6999. MSRP on the ABS model is $8799. Definitely the way to go when buying a new bike.
That's for the tips. I had to sell my Honda VTX1300 to cover medical bills. I just got done kicking Cancer's ass. (Testicular) I tell everyone I now truly have balls of steel, (lol) I'm in the process of saving for new to me bike, and I'm watching all the videos in the meantime. thanks again don't stop putting out all the great videos.... I have a question I have been riding heavy bikes my whole life thinking about switching to sport bike maybe getting something in the 650 range??? would like opinion thanks again. ride hard ride safe
Omg I love that bike.... i looked at the exact bike 1 month before my wife got pregnant so WE decided to wait. It is an amazing beginner bike. thanks again guys love the videos
Great video/tips, appreciated the scripture! Cheers for a healthy and prosperous 2020!
Bought my new ctx1300 thanks to this video. Has 1 mile and was only $7000. Thank you. I delt with Dusty
i found a used 2017 crf250l rally in my town for $5400 with about a 1000 miles on it. And that didnt include the fees which would of been $600 more. Outrageous. I drove 30 miles and got a brand new 2 mile 2017 250 rally for $5100 out the door. Older models that dont sell, i have found to be cheaper and thats how i bought my last 4 motorcycles
The doc fees and freight charges are BS in Canada! I’ve worked at dealerships in Canada, selling both cars and bikes. The Freight charges and Doc fees are always built into the listing price of the vehicles, at least in British Columbia anyways
I was literally just looking into this during the past week. Good info but now all your subs are going to block my attempts. Thanks dudes
