Default In need of some advice

Got a jones going for a 2017 RK and may be looking at one before the weekends out , yah !! Here's where I need help, I haven't set foot in a dealership in over 15 years and I've never bought a new bike so I need a little guidance on what kind of fee's and possible $$$ add-ons I may be dealing with during the haggling part of all this. Already been quoted MSRP on the color $19.4 with the OTD about 23K and maybe less for a outright sale no financing.

How does this sound to you more experienced buyers? Doing the numbers I'm seeing roughly a $1000 or so in there they are gonna use in fees and the offer counter offer game, curious what I'm in for.

Not sure how much help this will be, but you could expect tax, DMV fees (title, registration, etc) and I'm pretty sure there's a dealer prep fee of a couple of hundred bucks (I heard someone mention even as much as $800?). They're going to try and sell you on an extended warranty and a tire package for sure. Otherwise, I don't think there's any other fees.

I've bought a number of bikes of varying manufacturers. If I'm not out the door for less than MSRP, then I'm not buying.

That's gonna be tough on a '17, demand seems pretty strong for 'em.

Maybe, but I got my '16 RGU for $25,000 out the door. You've got to be ready, willing, and able to walk out the door.

My checkbook and already have a bike so it's on them to sell something I'm good with which is why I'm asking, All the dickswinging about what somebody won't do doesn't help with getting some solid input here.

That's the winner right there. I've walked out on dealers a few times. I usually get a call back meeting my last offer. And if I don't, nothing lost but some time.

I don't do that, as I don't give two $hits about impressing strangers on the Interwebz. I told you the deal I got. If I walked into my dealer tomorrow with the intention to buy, I'd get the same deal or I'd walk. What you do and what you'll accept are up to you.

If you don't want answers, don't ask questions.
