How's it going, in the market for a KX450 it has been a pain with dealerships. Seems like none of them can give me an estimated OTD price. wanting to get a leftover 2025, but if there are no big differences between the 25 and 24, I'll just go through FB marketplace without the dealership bs.
Power motorsports in OR. ‘25 KX450 $7K OTD no tax, no bullshit. UShip anywhere is reasonable 👌
Be careful with who you are dealing with on FB marketplace. Check on details like how long they have been on FB and posting.
FYI … I was scammed on a $100 deposit on a pickup truck cap that I went to pickup and the “dealership” that posted it was a copied name, pictures and physical address of a real 18 wheeler parts business.
Local dealers to me, keeping adding a ton of fee's to the leftover 25's. I have a hard time paying extra for a bike that depreciates like crazy. Been down that road in the past with my kawi's.
I picked up a 25 kx450 3 weeks ago for 7300 OTD
The Shop
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts

DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Where? The best I've been quoted OTD is 7800
I got a smaller dealer that is 10 min's from house. They are showing online $8000. I asked about a price and was told $8879 plus 8% tax. Mean while some further away instate dealers are asking $7000 plus 8% tax. Ive found a few out of state dealers asking $7000, but they tac on extra when you inquire which is to be expected. I reached out to Power motorsports and they were $7000 otd. Then id have to spend about another $1000 to ship it to me. Decisions decisions🤔
Power Motorsports deals are for real. Finally some Cali dealers are starting to act similarly. The days of huge markup need to go.
It's funny, they did huge markups during COVID which pissed me off. Vowed to never buy from them again. Then I just bought a Stark there a couple weeks ago lol
Yeah, Power has missed out on 5 bikes sales from me since their COVID bullshit.
Their markup was unbelievable, then kept calling me after I said no thanks. Was like a bad car dealership.
So you gonna tell us where you got a better deal or what? 😂
At the time during COVID I paid $1,800 less than Power wanted OTD walking in to a random local dealer somewhat close to my house without really even trying to negotiate. Think it was MSRP, freight, $195 doc fee and tax. At the time that was a pretty good deal. Crazy to think considering what you can get a KX450 for now.
If I remember right Power wanted almost $13,000 OTD for a Kawi 450. When I pushed back the salesman just said “good luck finding one cheaper somewhere else”. And I took that personally.
Now I just buy at local dealers. I’m sure I pay a bit more than Power since they have great pricing post COVID, but I don’t have to ship the bike and I still have a little hate in my heart for Power’s BS in 2021.
Is power under new management or something?? Could be a completely different operation?
Sounds absolutely nothing like my experience. Or maybe you got the wrong sales guy. I got a guy there you can text or call if any of you want his number.
