How much are you guys paying for the Yamaha bikes? I was going to buy one for my kid as it was supposed to be cheaper then the KTM/Husky bikes but I am being quoted $6300 OTD. Does this sound correct.?
YZ85s are $4,699. Here in California, if you paid full price, plus $400 in freight & setup, plus a DOC fee of $50, plus tax, plus license you'd still only be at $5625. And that would be a sizeable profit for the dealer. I'm not sure of the specifics about taxes and transportation in the UK, but 6,399 sounds high to me. Are they charging a dealer markup on top of retail?
I'd offer them something more like $5K or $5200 out the door and see. They may not take it in this day and age (no inventory,) but at least you can have a starting point to work from.
There is not a TON of profit in motocross bikes, but there's a little room. Ask and see.
EDIT: What's the MSRP in Great Brtiain?

When he gets to 125s we’ll likely be back to KTM unless by some miracle Yamaha updates their 2-strokes. So far he is loving the 85. Suspension is great and strong motor. If you look at the paint too long on the frame you can literally scratch it will your eyes though.
