The Shop
You can buy pretty much any YZ250 2 Stroke from 05 till now and get the same bike as a new one.
For half the price.

Here, the way to go is to find a fresh sub 10 hour 12. I've seen 2012 crf 450's for around 6500 all over craigslist.
You said damn at a 8200 price. There's not much risk buying a less than 10 hour bike. Especially a 450. If it's still got fresh stock tires and chain and sprockets. You're good and you just saved 3 grand.
I'm guessing dealers are required to charge sales tax on used inventory. Here in Texas, the comptroller office did a resale audit on my business and nailed me for a box of customer file folders that I purchased from out of state that I didn't pay sales tax on. Since I used them in my business, they were taxable, and the state wanted their four f'ng dollars.
for a 2013 450 , set up fee of around 600.00 and freight charge of around 700.00
i agree with newmann , drop it at my house and i will put the front wheel and handlebars on myself !
those charges are too high !!
However, it is worth noting that OEM's DO charge the dealers freight, but it is normally somewhere around $300 or so. Depends on OEM and bike as well. Every OEM is a little different with the rates.
So the dealer does pay a fee, but most of them will then take a mark up on it.
And Mr. dealer does have to pay a kid to put it together as well, but that is a 1 hour task, at best.
Other fees to watch for are doc fees (normally $25-50)...and F&I if you have to finance it. Stay away from the tire insurance as well...
But overall, dealer margin on MX bikes (and bikes in general) is really poor, like 10-15% at BEST. Hence the other "fees", and attempts at trying to make an honest living selling bikes. Dealers really are not making much on each bike, usually just a couple hungy.
Pit Row
Probably depends on the OEM, but I doubt there is direct reimbursement on freight. Every OEM is a little different.
Maybe if they reach some sort of sales goal or quota, or whatever, but it is not common practice that I am aware of.
Freight and prep are variable by OEM but normally a fixed cost for Mr. Dealer...
Hell, they even have some great used 2012 bikes like this one. http://www.ktmworld.com/products/8502-2012-ktm-450-sxf.aspx
7653 for a 2013 crf 450
