[QUOTE="whitesands26, post: 545500, member: 36778"] LOL......She didn't lose money in that transaction...It's funny how gullible some people are that go and buy motorcycles.....They love to tell poeple that stuff so you walk away all rosy feeling like you got a really good deal...Did she charge you a prep fee too ? LOL I walk into a shop one time and the salesman is selling a KX125 to some poor guy and charging $300 for a "prep fee" stating they have to put the whole bike together and all that....BULLCRAP!!! LOL When those bikes(mx bikes) come in the crate basically all they have to do is put on the front wheel, handlebars, triple clamps, and add transmission oil...Do you actually think those guys Torque everything to specs? Heck no! The streetbikes and sportbikes come complete and thet STILL charge that bogus "setup" fee. All they really do is put on the mirrors and add oil and charge you $300 or more for it...Yes I've seen some outrageous set up fee prices...Some are less but I've seen some as high as $600. It's a 15 minute job that anyone can do and they charge you $300 for it... Dealers are usually notorius liars...Sometimes I'll go in a shop just for fun and act like I don't know anything about motorcycles....I'll act like I'm going to buy one and then theystart talking about that "prep" fee...I'll ask them what they do for prep and sometimes they'll say "I really don't know what they do"...Then I say, well you better find out so I know why I'm being charged $300...Then they go ask someone and then that guy feeds you a line of lies.....If they do answer the question outright it's the same old lie every time.."We have to put the whole bike together and check everything"...Whatever... Listen....These dealers make money on the small bikes too..They make money on the parts.....They don't sell stuff lower than what they paid for it..Period... I've got an RC51 and I bought a michelin sport teck rear tire for it from Parts internet warehouse...It was $132 total shipping included.... For fun I went to my local Honda shop and saw that VERY SAME tire for $250...They make money on your ignorance...plain and simple. [/QUOTE]
