I live in Texas but am heading to Glen Helen for the vet nationals. I’ve noticed on line the asking price at dealers is quite a bit cheaper than here in Texas. I assume that they will add on loads of fees to bring it to the same price, but was curious what you guys were paying out the door in NM AZ and CA. Thanks.

In guessing you could find a '17 KXF for a smokin' good deal. Honda's don't seem to have any real incentives...yet.
If you buy in Cali, you many have a hard time finding a dealer that knows how to sell you the bike WITHOUT "Tax & Title"...which will cost you $600-800 (or more) based on the prices you're looking at. Technically, you need to take delivery of it OUT OF STATE -or- you can have a shipping company pick it up w/ a document that says it's leaving the state:
Oregon has NO SALES TAX. AZ, I believe, can sell you a bike as a "non-resident" hand you the manufacturers MSO & let you handle all the title issues when you get back to Tejas. I believe NM will do the same.
Like I said, California is a legal nightmare for a dealer and most either don't know how...or...will not process the sale without full DMV/State doc's. They're probably smart if they don't try to skip out on the state...Cali wants it's Chips!
Good Luck!
I tried to go buy a new suzuki 450 actually but the dealer I was trying to deal with never gave me an out the door price. I ended up walking out of the dealership after waiting an hour for a price. I wasn't even asking for a deal!! Just a price. They never called me back either. Guess they make to much money.
I called the Honda dealer while I was in the Suzuki parking lot! They hooked me up without one hassle. Asked for an out the door price and got an answer in 10 minutes. This is a great bike !
I do find FL dealers not interested at all in any little financial gesture or just to throw a couple of supplies for first oil change i.e
And good luck to get a price if you don't show up and get into the sales/manager 2 hours drama.
Got my last two Husqy out of state. 10 mins to get OTD over the phone then confirmed by e-mail
I kinda wish I had purchased out of state. But I'm in love with the bike so not really feeling any buyers remorse for over paying a bit.
Wisconsin has no sales tax on dirt bikes.
