The factory incentive will be you purchase a bike and the factory will make 10 more to sell just like it!

I've read some post here that stated a few dealers are at $1000 off msrp for 2009 models and $2000 off msrp for 2008 models. Have to search for them though - they are recent post too.

I guess we can expect "deals" on 09's when that happens

Thanks
Depends if you are going to be riding this winter. If not, wait til spring. Economy will be even worse then. Or, you could go ahead and buy, finance the max, don't make any payments, and get bailout help.

Exactly. If the Government continues to reward those who make very poor business decisions, why not just go for it.

I heard somebody say you get extra six months of warranty if you buy between Nov and Apr.

Rumor.
