Hi guys I’ve decided I need to build a dedicated off road bike, these new 300 fuel injected bikes have caught my attention. It seems like everybody likes them.
Anybody have a AZ dealer hook up? I’ll pay retail but not set up or freight. If I go to AZ I can avoid tax and go ride, that’s the plan

Throttle body injected aren't they? I'm all for learning if they aren't 👍

Golden rule from most buying threads here is don't say you're paying cash until you've agreed your price, they wanna scrape the money out of a finance agreement, so saying cash on the way into the shop doesn't do you any favours anymore.

The 300 is an awesome bike no doubt. There is a Russian delivery service that uses the 300 (super moto version) for making remote deliveries...Silly

Not sure about setup but I’m pretty sure that if the dealer doesn’t charge freight he’s eating that cost as they get charged. Are there dealers willing to eat that cost - especially given the modest margin on dirt bikes and the high demand for these bikes?

I usually buy my bikes from 3bros, awesome dealer. They don’t charge freight. That might have changed tho. Maybe I’m just being a cheap skate lol

I get it - it’s sucks to pay for something if you don’t have to and usually don’t.

My next bike will be a 300XC. I’ve read so many good things about it. Ultimate do-it-all bike.

Well I bit the bullet and paid CA sales tax, but I got the deal I wanted besides that. GP motorcycles in SD hooked me up. I think I’ll have a beer and drool over it until I get to some single track
