I had a friend riding up here from Texas, to pick up a new bike on a signed deal.
He was killed in Missouri by a left-turning 85 year-old lady.
His wife asked if, under the circumstances, they would keep the bike and cancel the deal. They said no.
They did keep the bike, but for less than he paid, because it was technically "used", even though he never left the lot on it.
The paperwork had already been processed, and they could not re-sell it as a new bike.

Depends on where you live and your state laws. Your state might have a right to rescind or cool off period law.

Bought a car from a Dealer & they screwed around , did not Deposit my check
Thye thought it was bad check & Salesman made the mistake of telling me that in a roundabout way
I was pissed, told them to keep the car...never drove it off the lot

Bought a truck from a Ford Dealer, they wrote up the wrong truck
Deal was off, but Ford sent me a survey to see how I liked my new truck
I blasted the dealership, as the salesman was screwing around & & said they would sell me another truck

Never heard from either one again
Laws vary by state
I always read paperwork & know what I am signing
I verify payment & full cost.

As long as you're happy with the out-the-door price I wouldn't sweat the details too much. Now go ride that thing!

set up they get a small reibursement from the moco. freight they do not, and that is a set fee charged on every bike regardless of distance. the freight in wi is the same as the freight in ca. now, whether or not the buyer actually pays it is a different story. but rest assured, the factory gets it from every bike sold.

you state that you feel like you got a good deal. i would drop it at this point. if you are happy with the otd price, then it really doesn't matter how they wrote the deal up. if you go back to try to get the set up reduced, they are likely to just that amount in somewhere else.

don't second guess yourself, just enjoy the bike when you get it.
