RE: Stage 1 before or after break in?
Just walk into your closest dealer, pick out the bike that you want, and negotiate the price, the same as you would when buying a car. Every dealer is offering 1,000+ off MSRP for starters, more if you have the stomach for some hard negotiating.
One caveat.......if you want the best price, tell the salesman that you are ready to take the bike home immediatly.

Any Idea what the extended warranty cost? (ballpark)

And refuse to pay any "Dealer Service Charge" (but don't spring that on them until the deal is done).

BTW I know this is going to be good, I have received three phone calls from three different dealerships today, all saying how nice it was to talk to me and they appreciate me coming in to see them…..we shall see how much they appreciate me coming in, in about 4 weeks…..[sm=happy046.gif]

I am in Florida as well, and the price differance between dealers is crazy. Seminole HD says they will sell 1000K below MSRP. But that is 115 miles away. I guess I could trailer the bike home.

Unless you are buying an '07 directly from a friend who has taken very good care of the bike, you would probably be better off with a new '08. The major benefit is the 2 year, unlimited warranty, that will give you peace of mind for at least the 1st 2 years. You can also purchase an extended warranty that will protect you for 7 years. The 2nd benefit is cost. Dealers (at least here in Florida) are wheeling and dealing on the new bikes right now. Don't be afraid to negotiate just as hard as you would when buying a car.
I have had both the 88 and 96..........they are both wonderful, but that 6 speed makes a huge diff when cruising over 70 MPH.
