Default Good price for a new 1200R?

I'm currently deployed and have the option of purchasing an 06 Sportster 1200R though ENCS (Exhance new car sales). With the extended warranty the price for the bike is 10,160. I should be back home next month and I don't have the time or bandwidth to really research prices. Does this sound like a good deal? If I decide to purchase this I need to do it before I return home or am I better off going to a dealership and seeing what kind of deal I can get from them?

You say, "With the extended warranty...". How long (years) is that for? The bike comes with a 2-year warranty and their 5 or 6 year extended warranty is in the neighborhood of $1,800.00. If it's the 5/6 year warranty you get at the price you quoted, it's not a bad deal.

Thanks for the info, the extended warranty I can get with it is the 5yr warranty. I think I'll get the ball rolling on this and I should hopefully have a new bike waiting for me when I get home.
