Was watching a video on YouTube and this was the price on a bike. Is this for real? 20230721 091127

I hope that isn’t real. A crf250 is not a gold mine and will be worth less than msrp as soon as it’s ridden

Probably just a joke because of how car dealerships are adding mark ups for no reason.

Completely missed the 2024 - egg on my face

They were by far the best deal when I got my '22 CRF450. This was when prices were at their peak, but basically the mark up disappeared. In fact, another dealer didn't even believe me when I shopped the price around... "Are you sure it's not the S model? Nobody is selling Hondas that cheap."

Funny to think back on that because it was true... You couldn't get a bike at MSRP.

ahhh no way … that has to be fake. I’m waiting on two purchases for a new KTM 350 and new road bike as i’m waiting to see how the prices might slide back to the customers favor.

If the used market is any indicator, that has to be fake or a joke. I have a 125 up for sale that would have gone within days last year, and I have barely any interest coming in for it.

I live in TX and when I bought my 2022 KX250 last year I bought from a dealer in Chatsworth, CA that saved me $1650.00 from the best deal I could find from around 15 dealers in North Texas. The bike in Chatsworth was actually $2450.00 cheaper and after paying $700.00 shipped right to my front door, I saved the $1650.      So bikes on the west coast are not more expensive

This was from the last Buttery Video. It's a joke and the bike they were giving away in a drawing.

The 909 chick at the front counter who printed up that sales tag is super hot. I'm 99% sure of it.

I’d guess the same or more from larger Houston dealers.  Buying motorsports in a major Texas metro area is not cheap.    With that said we have some dealers up north of town that don’t try to run the price up.

Saw this at the local shop. Actually surprised me to see this there.

Glad to see bike prices come way the hell down especially since COVID. There are some deals to be had.

It is indeed happening. I have bought lots of bikes from a local Yamaha shop in Altoona area in PA. I moved to SC 3 years ago and still tried to buy bikes like before.  They have a Honda franchise in another town.  

 

Not only would they not sell me a Yamaha this year at retail price, I then inquired about buying a Honda XL150L that is advertised at 2971 plus 300 freight and set up on Honda's website.  

 

Guess what?  They wanted nearly 5 grand out the door for a XR150L foo foo bike.  They lost my business 4EVER!!  Told me that it was a hot item and the official Honda website had the wrong retail price! Really!  So the website was wrong?  C'mon, I don't have S U C K E R tattooed  on my forehead. 

 

Went to Florence SC to 3GP and bought 2 bikes because they sold them for retail.  Less than 3500 with tax, tag and a plate for each.  Only shop near me that sold a bike at retail. 

 

It's a shame that these businesses do this to customers.  In about a year, it will be different  20230721 071415

The prices on bikes from the dealer are the same out here but what I’ve noticed is that used bikes tend to sell for more out here. Maybe it’s the actual working title system, IDK, but used prices are more out here. Not new.

It’s the tax, title, and license fee. That’s why Used bikes are solidly priced under new bikes. 
 

Biggest problem being, a lot of new bikes are on such sales, but used bikes aren’t.

Was in Motoworld a couple months ago.   They had $1500 added markups on dirt bikes.

Freaking thieves.

Probably just a joke because of how car dealerships are adding mark ups for no reason. 

Some car dealerships are adding "dealer installed options" to used vehicles now.  You know, that special magic coating for leather and paint...$1999.   Added alarm system $1199....etc etc. 

These scumbags day will come.

Anyone have the scoop on a good OTD price on a 24 350SXF? I’m buying next week for my 50th Bday!

What shop is that? I’m near Chatsworth.
