Ok so now that I have a bulk of the riding gear its time to actually buy the bike. I love the way it feels so i figured since everyone loves this bike and i like it also to buy one. I want the black one and the one dealership offered me 5999 otd for the bike plus gap insurance for the length of the loan. The only catch is they said they have to do it by dec 31st or they probably cant do this deal again. Should i just pounce on it now and store it for the winter or should i wait it out until the end of jan when i wanted to. Since i live in MI riding season doesnt really start til march or april. Do u think he is just jerking me around and he will be able to do the deal again since its a black 09?
would you do it

here is one that is $4999. Most dealers have the 09 right now for $4999-5999... But with tax and all that I guess it could get up to $5999. He aint giving you no under the table deal. Wait if you want. You can prob get cheaper in a few months.

not a "great"" deal... if I had a pick of an '09 or '10, I'd get the gold/black, I think it looks a little better (I have the '09)...
for that price, if you want it, and they won't knock any more off after showing them the deals you can find for $4999...
see what else they will "throw" in for that price... if you don't have storage, see if they can throw that in for a couple of seasons, free maintenance for a year, free frame sliders, battery tenders, etc... sometimes dealers really can't change the "price" but they can throw in enough other incentives that will get you your money's worth.
Good luck and let us know!

Well I waited and got the bike for $5,000 then with GAP insurance and things I will walk OTD for under $6,000. It was the same dealership but they gave me the "show pricing" since I saw them and the bike at the bike show. I wont be picking it up til march since the weather here in MI is not great so they will hold onto it and I get to pick it up when it gets warmer. Thank you for your advice guys and girls.

Congrats! Now you get to sit around for 3 months drooling over any mods you want to do (and save up some cash to do them!)
that i do. i was thinking the fender eliminator first. the service guy at the dealership told me frame sliders are useless since they could catch a curbe and wreck the bike more and said the bolt that goes into the bike can pierce the motor and ruin it. Any thoughts? i asked the manufacturer and they said they never heard of anything like that

I've never heard that happening. I intended on having some put on when I get mine next month. I would to know if they can make a wreck too.
Lol...He sounds like a real mental giant! Hopefully it never happens but any part of the bike could "catch a curb". Also, an asteroid could possibly hit it! If he's worried about "piercing the motor", I wouldn't let him adjust the air in my tires! Get the sliders and protect your bike as much as you can.
yeah... you are using the same bolt that is on the fairing already, if it's going to "pierce" the engine, it would do it anyway... same with the curb, tires can grab the curb really easy.
the frame sliders are for more than just scratches too, they can save levers (hand and foot) that will get you home... A simple no speed drop can cause so much damage, and a $100 slider will save cash and headaches if done before hand.

I believe the yb is a color designator...
a quick web search shows many:
Motorcycle » 2009 »FZ6RYB_FZ6RYCL_FZ6RYL_FZ6RYCB
for parts, so for "common parts" the numbers are the same, for painted parts, it has a different designator.
Get the frame sliders. I had the bike come loose in the trailer without sliders=$1800 in damage. Came loose again after I had sliders on it= no damage. Although I did spend another 30 dollars in tie down adapters and have not had it fall over a 3rd time. I am a slow learner .....LOL
