bobbyn Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I live in NY and I found a leftover 2014 8 Gen in WI for $6,700. The problem was I had to buy it in WI and the travel/hotel/transport costs put it over $8800. My local dealer matched the $8800 & I brought it home the same day. A great price is only relative to how close you are to the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't spend 1/4th of that to drive from TN to TX and pick up a CB500X that my son had bought, deliver it to him in Willits, CA and pick up his electrically challenged 6G that had him in a Nissan rental car for two weeks and return to TN. Not saying that it is free to pick up a smoking deal on a vehicle several (or more) states away but it can be done without spending 1/3rd the cost of the newly acquired vehicle. Plus some people like the adventure of going places and meeting new people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the mods don't have a glitch. B. Fly there, truck it back. I don't own a truck/van so I would have to rent. C. Drive there, truck it back. See above. D. Cheaper doesn't always equate to less expensive. E. It must be nice to be retired with a truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thrilled to see Honda introduce the 8th gen - but I fear for its longevity - at least in the N.A. market. Motorcycle sales are about half of what they were annually in the 2005-2006 timeframe. Motorcycles are bought with disposable income for the most part and people just don't have it as in the past. I don't think much of it is a generational thing. Maybe draining the swamp will help bring back normalcy which most people have forgotten IMO. We are paying for too much govt. and not enough of what we want. Over and out.

Back in reality, most of my money isn't going to govt, but instead it's going to paying for stuff that has gotten more expensive, while I continue to make the same pay. There's a DLX for $10,800 out the door here that I may consider... ABS/TC/Heated Grips/More Suspension Adjustment.. I guess it's worth a few g's more.

I agree and it can be difficult to quantify the cost of government waste and mis-management. For example, are you and I paying more for pork and beef because our government determined to subsidize some farmers and we are putting 10% corn into our petroleum products? Hard to say. I do know that when I travel to Washington DC for work I am always pissed off because I am the old guy walking around turning lights off in my home and I see every government building with lights ablaze and the collective "us" unable to flip the switch and save some bucks. We need term limits and congress needs to live under the laws that they pass for the rest of us without being able to exempt themselves. And congress should ride VFRs.

I'm in California but I checked a couple other states close by also and I selected the best deal I could find for my '14 Deluxe at $10,300 otd for it all. I'm ok with the deal although maybe could have done better, not many incentives by Honda at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a std now at coleman's near me but it has some miles and seems like the dlx is the best way to go in my view. Enjoy your new steed!

I looked for about 3 months before I found it. And this was OTD, before TTT. I bought it in MD and live in VA. They mailed me the title and I paid the registration, taxes, and title, about another 350 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14thumper Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Good work, you got a superb deal! Taxes must be really low for you, it's about 9% where I live. I think I paid $8,400 for the bike, $1k for setup and delivery (bs I know) and $750 for taxes plus $150 for registration. It didn't matter much to me how they wrote it up I was only focused on total OTD pricing. In Northern California where I live, the lowest was approx. $1,800 more OTD and I looked for ~3 months also. Even in the LA area this was the best I could find among the dealers there. But...nothing is cheap in California. I have the same bike as you.

Just look at this election about to come to an end....finally. Ok new here but how about the 2014 CTX1300 I bought end of last year for $7,999 when it was over priced at $15,999 in 2014 , they did not market the bike and still have a bunch being sold at half price and it was a one year wonder. The way honda does things I would never pay the full retail on a new bike, just wait a year or two and save a fortune. I'm about to pull trigger on a 2014 VFR800 DLX for $8,499 which if I have done my research is about $4K off the price from 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
