Always! Always always always buy on the last day of the month. Whether it’s cars or motorcycles, at a dealer they try to sell as much a month as possible. Salesman will take a cut in their commission just to get another quick sale on the last day of the month.
Just stumbled upon your channel thanks to the Aprilia RSV4 video! I picked up myself a Aprilia Tuono. Your insights on buying new bikes are super helpful. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you build out that Streetfighter V4-it's going to be awesome! Keep up the great work!
I did pretty much exactly what you did. I live in TX and bought my 24 Nero gray SFV4S from Wheels in Motion in Chatsworth, CA and had it shipped. CRAZY good deal. Paid $22,995 plus $795 freight no prep. That bike MSRPs for $27,795
I'm familiar with Wheels in Motion. That's an excellent deal you got on your SFV4S. Great job! May I ask what you paid for shipping? Just want to know out of curiosity. My Aston Martin came from Houston and it was about $1600 for enclosed shipping. Thanks for the support.
@@ridewithKY Guessing yours was more because it takes up more space and it costs a lot more. More liability more premium you'll pay. Keep up the vids. Loving this content.
Cool video - I already put a deposit down to guarantee allocation to a new 2025 Yamaha R9 in March. I'm pretty sure the demand will be higher than dealer allocations considering the R6 has been gone now for a few years. Might not get the best deal - but I'll definitely get my new R9 ready for perfect CA March riding weather
If your credit score isnt great and/or cash isn’t involved, I’m pretty sure that plays a major factor. I wanted the SS for fun and to ride around town. I put down cash and paid $15,000 out the door. Tax, title, plates, gap insurance, dealership fees all included. Full insurance at $40 a month. I ended up selling it right before 10,000 miles because I wasn’t going to pay the DESMO and wanted to upgrade to a V2 because I wanted to ride more aggressively than what the SS could do. You did a great break down of everything. I definitely do those things on every vehicle I buy. Even my Brand New Ford F-150 XL Sport was $40,000 out the door. Easily a $60,000 truck, but had a ton of incentives because it was the last model. For Ducati, there will be a ton of incentives since the new models are here and are replacing nearly every model across the board.
I would agree regarding poor credit score and low cash reserves. I would say though, if you have bad credit and no cash reserve, should you really be in a motorcycle dealership? Probably not...
For my zx6r for msrp + tax title reg. new 25 the color I wanted. Most dealers were 2-3k more. I have been eying the v4s. One day after I put like 20-30k miles on the zx
Great info that is easy to understand. I would like to know if you purchased the Maryland bike and what hurdles it took to get it registered in California.
I currently have a 24 bmws1000rr. My next bike i will search around so I can find a good deal vs going to a dealer in my town instead of looking out of town/state first.
Gret video as always.... my strategy is MSRP out the door, not a penny more, that is a fair deal 99% of the time. I dont care what are the prep fees, or any other fees, MSRP out the door, yes or no, if no, you will not see ma again.
Interesting video. How would you approach the R9 with a "set price" lol. In my mind I feel like there wouldn't really be a way to get a dealership to do a discount. But i dont know yet. Im gonna drop a deposit on one in about a week or two. I mean I'll definitely try to see if something could be worked out tho. What do you think
Anything that’s a new release is going to be harder to get a discount on. If you are willing to wait then the tides turn in your favor. Discount or not, I would make sure to be aware of dealership fees. Even if the sell price is the same across the dealerships, the fee structure will vary greatly.
@TheOriginalJadolph this is wrong… the XSR900 you see in some of my videos, got about an 11-12% discount on that one. We could have gotten more off but time was not on our side, for a few reasons we had to make the acquisition basically in a week’s time. Brand doesn’t matter. I’ve used this same methodology to buy bikes as cheap as $5500 MSRP all the way up to $25K msrp. I’ve also used these techniques to buy cars.
When i got my bike, i told the dealer if you give me this out of the door price i will go there and put a down payment and the lowest APR.. he called back after maybe 4 to 5 hrs and agree.. the thing is i need to wait for 1 week because its still on the other state.. he told me i did a good research😅..
Great video. Good call on the MD Panigale. Last I heard you can’t buy a new bike in another state and register it in CA. You can buy a bike in CA and register it in another state. I believe the rule doesn’t apply if it’s a used bike with over 1500 miles or so. I know it makes no sense but CA has very specific rules.
You actually can, it's just that it has to be CA emissions compliant. What this means is it has to have a California emissions sticker on it somewhere. If it does not, then the bike has to have over 7500 miles on it to be considered a "used motorcycle" in which the emissions compliance is waived,
can you also do a video on used? i have no credit and best i can do for a bike is “in-house finance “ but i have to pay 75% down. i’m looking at an 05 GIXXER 600 for 4800 but it has a bonded title(the only way the dealer does in-house finance)
I can. Used is a lot more complicated. What I've found with anything used is to just look at the used motorcycle classifieds every single day until you find the bike you want at the price you want. I would say used it's more about getting a bike in safe condition more than focusing just on the price.
@ that is my biggest concern so far is buying used and it being in safe condition. the shop i’m getting it from says it had 1-2 owners and it’s completely stocked from 2005
Being completely stock is a big bonus. You should be able to look up the title history for the bike and make sure it’s only had 1-2 owners. Not that big of a deal if it’s more owners, but it’s a good way to make sure the dealer is telling the truth.
You definitely can. It’s a lot of patience honestly, but I’ve seen some pretty good deals on bikes in Florida from time to time. Regardless of what you pay for your 25 XSR, you are ahead of the game anyways. Riding in Florida is just sublime, such a beautiful state.
You probably already know but Motoclub SM is now Motoclub LA. I met the guys down there this past summer. Really nice team and very knowledgeable about all things Aprilia. I don’t know what their fees are, but I would have no apprehension about purchasing from them.
If you are looking for an Aprilia Motoclub LA is the place to go. Highly knowledgable, good prices, and just an all around solid group of enthusiasts that care about their customers. Link below to the owner Victor showing some love to my Tuono1100 Factory that I purchased from them last year. He has a lot of great Aprilia content on his page. Good luck, RSV4 is a fantastic machine. th-cam.com/video/bh1JocjQ7jg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=n5yQGRcyBBTq6-5p

what enclose shipping company do you use for cross state purchases?
I’ve used road runner before and had a good experience. I’ve been recommended Haul Bikes before by a few dealers.
Great info that is easy to understand. I would like to know if you purchased the Maryland bike and what hurdles it took to get it registered in California.
Glad the video was helpful to you! I did not, it did not have a CA emissions sticker, otherwise I would have.

Does that include taxes? I like this approach.
@ Yes , including everything , that is my goal, if not I walk and I tell them, if you can not, I understand, I will just buy it out of state

Im gonna drop a deposit on one in about a week or two. I mean I'll definitely try to see if something could be worked out tho. What do you think
I dont think this will work on Hondas or Yamaha’s bc they are already priced so low. Ducati can get away with it because the margin is so high.
@TheOriginalJadolph ahh ok. Makes sense. Thanks

Dealer fees are deal killers many times. We need to move away from that sales model. BE UP FRONT. 👍👍
Absolutely. You’ve got to ask about 5 questions before you get to the real cost of the bike.
Well done on this. Especially being ready to fund.
Appreciate it, thank you!
