i don't think you should, unless they want to sell it to you in a crate. they don't display them on the florr in crates, do they?.. do car companies charge a setup fee

Anyway asked him to put up some #s and here's what they come up with. $14,500.00 for my 2016 Breakout (trade-in), $19,699.00 for the bike, $350.00 Prep, $390.00 freight, $638.45 taxes, and $418.00 title & doc. fees. So out the door (before trade in amount and cash down) $21,495.45. Does this seem pretty good? This dealership is usually treat me fairly well. Oh yea, free windshield and helmet.

I'm surprised your bike isn't worth more. It may be worthwhile checking dealers in other cities to see what they can do. It's possible that with the recent storms some dealers have had a slow sales month or two.
