Dealer destination is charged to the dealer who passes it on to the buyer, this also happens with car dealers. Now prep charges are another thing, that is a in house charge for washing the bike before they put it on the floor.....lol Prep charges and destination charges can be waved if they want to really sell a bike, normally you can at least get the prep charges waved.

Dealer prep and extra charges
If you want to see charges, try buying a bike from our local H-D distributor in Vancouver Canada.
Discount on a new bike? Not usually.
If it's end of the model year they normally give a discount on chrome, or a gift certificate of some kind.
I generally end up importing a gently used machine from the 'states.

Mine was 750 and I was told they had to have that line on the bill.
I was also told they weren't allowed to give helmets free. I did get 4000 off the msrp on a 2014 ultra classic so I didn't feel bad about the other charges they also offered 15% all accessories the first week

Can somewhat figure what this is for.
Worth $1900?
Do most pay this or bargain this down?
Seems a bit much.
