Dealing with the $tealers???!!!!

Just wondering....is buying a new bike the same as buying a new car. What I mean is you have the sticker price on the car say for $10,000.00 but the dealer invoice is $7500.00 if you are smart you know that even if you get the car for $500.00 over invoice you got a good deal even though the fleet manager crys that his is giving you the car and they are making nothing of this deal....bull#@! because there are dealer incentives and hold backs from the car manufacture. So the little $500.00 that he made off you turns out to be $3k after he gets his hold back and bouns from the manufacture.

So have said all that and my recent trips to the motor cycle dealers and listing to them tell me that the MSRP of $6800 for a new 06 YZ450f is the bottom line becasue they will not make anything on the bike to me is Bull#@!!
I went to a local Yamaha dealer and offered in cash and even showed the salesmen $6500.00 in cash for the 06 out the door and he refushed it. What are the guide lines that motorcycles are delt under. I know that they have to be the same as a car deal other wise they would not be in business

Any help would be great.

Let me ask this is there a website such as www.autos.msn.com/

That give the down low on the motocycle dealers? I really would like to know what they pay for them...or invoice at...make for a better argument.


Are there still dealers that will ship bike to you. When I was younger we use to order bikes from DGY(and no I have not called them yet)

Sorry about the x-post...was not sure where to post this..
