Just got back from a dealer who quoted me an otd price of 6900 on a brand new 2011 fz6r. Would you guys say this is fair? Or can he go cheaper? The break down of the price he came up with is 8.75% ny sales tax. And 200 for DMV fees. That was it with the price of the bike being 6200. Dont want to be taken for a ride (no pun).
Hate dealerships!

seems about right to me, considering you have a high tax rate.
I think the problem here is you have what i too would call otd price. but don't let others on here, or some dealerships, fool you.
I've had other places call their price 'otd' yet it doesn't include tax and registration. which in my opinion is ignorant. I had one dealership say we can do "6200 otd" but you would need to go to the dmv to take care of the rest........
Others have posted prices of brand new bikes being under $5000 otd, when I know better than that.
good luck!

I believe $6100 is the invoice price on them (what the dealer paid Yamaha to get it in their inventory). So they'd be making $100 on the machine if I'm remembering that figure correctly.

seems like a decent price to me. Just dont let them dupe you into getting any extended warranties, etc...

Prices have jumped because its pretty much riding season now. i would try and talk him down or look at other Dealers. I hate dealers to.
Seems like a fair price to me also especially if it is TRULY OTD, all taxes, reg, freight etc fees included IN that price..
Most 2012 that I have seen around around 7200 or so from what I can remember, Or volume dealers maybe 6800 + all fees. So if that is total they have already taken some off for prior year carryover it sounds like.
As others have said though, check around and at dealers websites. When I was shopping last spring I found a dealer w/ new 09' carryover; in store was about $500 more than their online price. Then the dealer closer to me had one for more than the instore price at the other. I got them to drop the in store diff and then cover most of the other difference. I gave that dealer the sale, I acted as if color didnt matter to me so I was willing to go elsewhere, but in reality, it did.
I wanted Blue more than Black!

What'a wrong with extended warranties?
I work on the service dpt of a FORD dealership and factory extended warranties are the way to go.
My bike has one.

By the way. Price is good. Mine was 6900 + fees + extended warranty. On the very end I paid 8800. And I shopped around and was the best price and the dealer the charged me the least on the mount and delivery fees.
DMV price seems high. In New york they don't have a law for set price in DMV fees, some dealers will smash you. I think DMV fees in New york are about $34.00.
In jersey they have a cap of $55.00.

Since you asked; Nothing for the people that think they need them. They are basically an insurance policy that you are paying someone else for. If you have an emergency fund for things that might go wrong,you are covered anyway and it's your money in the bank. Most people won't save for a rainy day. Extended warranties get a bad name because they cost bucks and people do not read them so they think they are covered on everything that goes wrong with a vehicle. Know what is covered and how much you are paying. It is a good thing for some people. All us others hate them!

Some point I agree with you. People don't read contracts.Seems like a good price to me.

But if you add $10.00 a month on you car payment is a $120.00. After 3 years (that's when the warranty expires) you paid $360.00. If you put the $360.00 in the bank for 3 years you have now maybe $500.00 bucks.
NOTE: For the records, I paid $450.00 on my YAMAHA one. Don't know if its a good price or not.
Let's just get a regular seasonal repair. Your a/c condenser is leaking. Most of the vehicles that repair will cost you around $1200.00. ($500.00 not enough to cover the repairs).
For a person that is not mechanic inclined, (I'm mechanic inclined and still have esp on my 2 cars and bike), repairs nowadays are not less then $500.00 bucks (cruel reality, at least in jersey).
That's why I'm thumbs up for a FACTORY extended warranty.
Those Mickey mouse warranties that they call your house to sell it, are a rip off and they don't cover sh*t.
Bought mine in Washington State,no sales tax there either.....if you are from Oregon.Gotta love Oregon's no sales tax.
Nice!Bought mine in Washington State,no sales tax there either.....if you are from Oregon.
I did not know that!I agree, not to mention the roadside assistance, and peace of mind.
I usually turn down warranties, but this is not a game console or something.
Every company deals with new employees, new part vendors, etc and stuff happens.
The extended warranty on the fz6r is a really good one, some televisions have a more expensive extended warranty
I want to bank where you bank. If you put $360 in an account now, pretend you are getting 5% interest, compounded monthly, for the next three years, you would end up with around $420. I used this site to do the math for me.
A more reasonable interest rate would be something less than 1.5%, but again, pretending and using 1.5%, you would end up with around $375 after three years.
