Guys, what are your thoughts on what this will do to the prices in the next few weeks? Stay the same? Go down?
I planned on buying in late spring since I can’t ride until then (recovering from my slap repair) but do you see a reduction in price based on the fact I’m sure there has been a decrease in sales?
Just wondering!

Theres going to be huge sale on new and left overs, (Im looking to spend 6200ish on a 20 150sx when best I could find was 6850 at xmas).
Used bikes are going to be the same for a few reasons...
-the guys who can afford a new bike on sale or not are going to get a new bike regardless or wait until next year and ride what they have.
-the guys who had to sell due to $ problems sold their bikes to a flipper who is going to wait it out and sell for current fair pricing or a guy who will ride it for a while, these guys won't be riding this year likely, certainly not on a new bike regardless of the sale prices or 0% financing.
-Lets face it most guys riding mx are not wealthy and this unbelievably shitty situation we are all in is going to have the majority of guys riding their current bikes this year. I think there's going to be a STACK of 20' leftovers for this coming xmas if.dealers don't all reopen with ~5-10% above that "leftover" price and get their inventory to slowly start moving.
Or offer 12mo 0% financing on a unsecured LOC to anyone with a pulse.....
The Shop
Pretty lame....I can't stand Trudeau, but I don't post about him on Vital. And it always rubs me the wrong way when someone states something offensive, then attempts to shut down anyone who disagrees....
Leave politics out of it completely, or stand up like a man an live with the consequences (like the inevitable trip to the Dumbgeon).
I was about a week away from buying a new bike and I’m very thankful I didn’t buy it when I was going too.
Although, to your point. I will provide with reasons new bike prices COULD drop.
-Rebates. I can definitely see most OEM's offering pretty large factory rebates in the coming month.
-Shops that own their building and have generally low overhead may start knocking prices down considerably. (To maintain units sold targets) Normally small single owner, single OEM type shop.
-There is wind coming about forgiveness programs from certain OEM's. Don't know how it will look for us, may only benefit people interested in finance.
You are spot on with financing, in the past couple days I have seen people with 'not good' credit get pretty low rates.

And I agree with our president. Do the best we can for a few weeks then re-evaluate. Doing this for too long will do much more damage than the virus.
Also, stop criticizing our president or our politics. You don't live here. Your opinion doesn't matter.
Private sale of used bike will be a case of the right place at the right time to catch a bargain, some one else's misfortune.
I follow a couple 5th Gen Ram boards, and it sounds like the new sales side is closing down rapidly.
Enjoy that new beautiful Husky
if a worker needs their vehicles worked on or need a new vehicle there needs to be places to go for the service/sales. If Newsome closes dealers down and leaves the cannabis clubs (which he deems essential) open he needs to be sent home
