I haven't bought a "new" bike from a dealer in close to 10 years. I quit riding for a few years. But anyways would like to buy a 2015 YZF250 or KXF250. I now know what to expect a dealer to tell me they want ($7,500) but what did some of you seriously pay?

If it's local and within 3 or 4 hundred dollars of what you can go out of state or order one for just pay the extra and roll with it.

Depends on if the dealer tries to charge you $500.00 freight and $500.00 setup when they get you in the finance office!Laughing

You know it takes that minimum wage guy in the back a full 40 hour week to bolt the front wheel and handlebars on. And that freight, well they had to pay it. See, here's a freight invoice.Wink

I have a dealer that did a 2015 CRF250R well under $7k and a 2015 CRF450R for a bit under $8k. This included delivery from the midwest to the west coast.

He sells all of the major brands.

PM me and I can get you some quotes and put you in touch with him.

Wow some of the numbers I'm reading are well over what I was expecting. A few local guys told me they paid $6200 which is what I would like to pay, but they also purchased two new bikes. MTL I will pm you. I am in the midwest. I'm used to dealing with salesman for new vehicles but not for bikes. Same concept? Talk em down on the price a bit?

Absolutely talk them down. Anyone who tells you $7500 for a 250, laugh and hang up the phone.

Paid $7,650 otd with 6 months 0% financing for a 2014 YZ450F in September last year (that's including CA tax and license).
Depending on what you want, if you wait for the 2016 models to start coming out you can probably get a pretty good deal on a 2015 model.

Within the first few sentences let it be known you're calling every shop within 600 miles. Whoever wants to move the bike will beat everybody.

Got a 13 yz450 in July of 13 for 6200 OTD in Ohio. There are deals. Some large volume dealers can offload for a crazy price. My local shop gave me the blessing because they couldn't touch it. All my after markets came from my local shop.

However if you got a great small shop with an excellent relationship just go there and know you're money is helping the shop and the sport if it's pretty close to some other high volume dealer. For example my local guy couldn't get me below 7300 out the door. And I wanted a pipe and a tuner and some other stuff. Bought the bike for 6200 and used the difference to buy the pipe and tuner. So now I have into a bike with a few after markets for what I was going to pay OTD for a stocker. And my shop got $1100 out of it through after markets.

Pretty sure my buddy just got a 15 yz250f last November for 6200 OTD from Honda east in Toledo, Ohio. Plus a $500 blucru card from yamaha 6 weeks after the purchase.

2013 KX250f purchased new in 8/13 for ~5800. Came with Pro Circuit Ti-5 pipe, full graphics kit and $100 gift card. Best deal I've got. Then it was stolen about 3 months later... worst deal I've got (no insurance).

Rocket, that is a DEAL. Dang man, I paid $7500 for my 2013 YZ250 in December 2012. That was a good deal, but I had to drive to Orlando to get it. The Jacksonville dealer wanted over $9000 for it!

If you are absolutely serious about trying to save some money, try to find a used 2015 for $4500-$5500.

There's a couple on Ebay right now and it's going to save you a bunch of money in the long run.
