Ya think?!?!?! Holy crap, here we go with the mark ups! :surprise:Just trying to get a general idea. My local dealer wants 17500 OTD for the S. Seems high 0![]()
Maybe TX is different but in GA the sales tax is on top of MSRP, freight and setup charges. That would be just over $17k here. There's still some markup in yours obviously as you have a lower tax %. What are they charging for freight, setup and doc fees?Just trying to get a general idea. My local dealer wants 17500 USD OTD for the S. Seems high 0
MSRP for the S is 14,995 USD + local tax 6.25% = 15,932 USD. Maybe a hundred or two more for title and license. That's about... 1200 USD markup, even with MSRP :|
Don't forget freight fees to get it from customs to the dealership, and setup fees to get it out of the crate, full of fluids and inspected/prepped for riding. Depends on the dealer and manufacturer for these, expect something around $600 for freight and $300 for setup.Just trying to get a general idea. My local dealer wants 17500 USD OTD for the S.

I am feeling rather surprised at how dealerships operate in the USA. My red S cost me us$14000 and I paid extra for the "on the road" service, its registration. I think some of you guys are seriously being taken for a ride by your local dealerships. Genuinely so surprised by the actions I read on here. I don't even know if there's any recourse for you to take against them.Here's the breakdown of my bike according to my dealership...
MSRP 14,995
But according to my invoice that does include destination charge ($525), license and title ($30), administration fee ($335), then there's the sales tax of apr. $825.
There is recourse...wait until their supply is up and then buy. It's a game, one that I rather enjoy, that often times must be played when buying here in the US. My dealer has a brand new 2015 Speed Triple R they finally marked down to $11,995 although it may be too little to late. As long as the inventory is down and want is up, dealers will be less likely to budge on price. I had a guy yesterday telling me how I should buy his SS when I told him twice already I'd be looking for an SS S if/when I buy.I am feeling rather surprised at how dealerships operate in the USA.

Okay, there's been no movement on this thread but I see people buying bikes. What are people in the US paying for a SuperSport S?
It would be helpful to know what you're paying for the bike before tags/tax/title as those three things vary by location. I talked to my older dealer today and said their next bike was a white bike with red wheels sometime in June I think. I'm getting ready to start talking with 3 dealers to see who I can get the best deal from. I'll likely want to sell my Multi first but if I can get around $10k on trade I may just do that b/c the way GA handles taxes.
