How much did you pay for your FZ6R?

$6600 OTD, including ~9.5% TN state sales tax...

An OK deal, but the best in town. All other local dealers were in the low $7K range OTD.

$6,300 otd...

i know i could've gotten a slightly better deal from one of the big dealers in my area. but, i liked the idea of supporting my local, small, family-owned yamaha dealership...

Great deal Detrich. I wish I were in LA again... one can negotiate on EVERYTHING in Los Angeles! All but one dealer claimed their "cost" was $61xx for the bike. I swore that they were all colluding and fixing the price!

To your point, I also really wanted to go to the local, small-family owned dealer, but they wanted $7166 OTD. As much as I like family-owned stores for a warm-fuzzy feeling after buying something, I'm not really wanting to pay an additional $566. $566 in my pocket makes me feel warmer & fuzzier. :D

Having said that, it will be 2F here this coming weekend. Sigh.

I find that a bit high. Did you get premium gear with that?

Well, I must say I love that helmet, considering I'm shopping around for a rf-1100 myself before the start of the season. I guess my opinion on this is that you payed a bit high for what you got. But at least you got some gear and if you enjoy it, who cares, ride safe and remember always use your gear, it saves your @$$.

Sales Tax

Hope you all wrote your bike sales tax off of your 2009 taxes. It was deductible if you bought a bike or a car in 2009.

It's only 3% in VA, but some of you folks have some high sales tax in your states!

What do you all think is a fair price for a new 2009 fz6r. The dealership by me has there's advertised for 6,299 and is said to be on "sale" What do you all think about trying to get the bike for 6k OTD? Reasonable or should I try for less OTD since the '10s are out and the dealers are trying to push everything and anything out the door. Thoughts?

I paid $6200 for mine last July. Lic. and title were extra,but that is what I paid for the bike after an hour of what I call negotiation. I would think they would be more eager to sell an 09 now. Good luck!

Is that the '09 or '10 model?

2009 with 0 miles on it. 6.5% sales tax tag and registration brought the base prise of 6200 for the bike up that high and then I added the $400 gap insurance

Never believe what a salesman tells you. The worse thing you can do from a bargaining position is allow them to manipulate your emotions. Determine ahead of time what you think is a fair price and always be willing to walk away.
