NEVER go to a dealer to buy a used bike.

Yep ^. I considered it. Then I found out they have a non-negotiable $1,500 instant markup for BS fees. They tried blowing up my phone w/ the "I got a plate of lunch here 4ya" crap but I knew that was bunk. Buy used NEVER new. I've seen 90 day old, 1,500 mile bikes that were indistinguishable from new for $2k less than new w/ (0) BS fees.
