Looking For a New Bike

It has been a while....

What deals are out there?

I wouldn't mind getting on to an Austrian 250 or 300 smoker if the price is right.

Also considering YZ250, 350F, or any 450F except Suzuki.

 

Who can give me the best deal currently?

I saw $3k plus financing on KX450/450x and $1.5k on KX250/250x. Austrian has financing deals on 2025 and rebate plus financing (I think) on 2024. I am pretty sure there are some rebates on 2024 Crfs and YZs too.

IMHO, the best bike for the money is a kx450.

Yes, Under 6k OTD (before taxes) for a 24. Can't beat that

I would buy one asap for that price, but I am only seeing $10500 MSRP - $3000 = $7500ish plus tax. What am I missing?

Call all of the dealers in your area and talk to them. I was getting a ton of quotes around 7k, talked to one dealer and told them the lowest price that I had been quoted and they hit me with their offer. Paid a deposit and went and picked it up. Maybe I got lucky who knows

Kawasaki is the king when it comes to rebates, and  they have been for a while. They will go so deep on rebates it's unreal. A ways back they lost tons of dealerships due to leftovers and were as low as 300 dealers in the whole U.S. They don't want to go through that again.

Shop around. You’ll find some unreal deals if you spend the time. I chatted to a local salesman yesterday afternoon and more than half way through the month, he’d only sold one bike. And this was a big dealership with multiple brands. Bikes everywhere. Really tough times. Great for buyers.

I made the mistake last year of picking a bike based on best deal. Bought a 23 kx sr after owning hondas and a 23 yam. Sold the kx and got a deal on a new yz450 from fivestar in bedford pa. Buy exactly what you want because itll cost you more in the long run.

I was wrong about the 25 KX450 discount. It is currently $2k. $3k on the 2024. SRs excluded.
