It doesn't matter what any of us think, what matters is local costs, competitive landscape and your negotiating skills. Don't think that knowing their cost will cause them to capitulate. Most dealers will try to stay at msrp on a current year bike. You don't have to buy one and they don't have to sell it.

Had me going as well. Trying to figure out what the hell OP was doing talking about a brand new 09. Then I caught the date. Didn’t even realize you could find a thread going back that far.
