Sugested Retail
Ive been to 3 different dealers and all 3 have different "suggested" retail prices on the Nightster that I'm looking at, How could that be? Isn't the suggested retail price set be the factory? Isn't that why it is called Suggested? Do Dealers negotiate on prices? I have only bought one new bike before 18 years ago and I left there feeling *** raped by the Yamaha dealer.

RE: Sugested Retail
Some dealers with low suggested price tack on set-up fees and dealer documentation fees, and some dealers with a higher suggested price don't.
Check the HD site forprice, and see what the dealers come up with after their added charges.
The true test is the bottom-line price you pay.

RE: Sugested Retail
Ask to see the '08 brochure.... Or better yet.... Ask them to give you one.... All the MSRP's for each model are listed in the back... If a dealer won't show you the book... Be wary

RE: Sugested Retail
i'm sure you can find a better deal than i did, but i've found the dealer usually tacks on about$1000 worth of fees, more if you are registering in the state you bought it. i checked about every dealer in 6 states and ended up driving 400 miles to tennessee to get mine. the dealer there was the only one that would work with me on the price. i got him to throw in the fwd controls free. i came out about $300 dollars better(inclding gas),than buying from a more local dealer. the most i saw one for was $12,600 and that guy wouldn't work with me at all. i bought my bike at the end of october though. email each dealer through there website and ask what the out the door price would be on the bike, then call you tax collecter to find out what the tag and taxes are gonna cost you. good luck
