I was only able to get about 5% off MSRP on the bike.

I don't know if there is much of a discount on Multis. I paid $13,850 for my 08 S, no addon's this past May (prime time). I do know one local dealer (there may be others) that is offering free DP Panniers with purchase of an 08 S.

As I use the MP3 player in the Zumo quite regularly ( and this required the side buttons ) the mount was essentially useless.

Cheers

Hmmm...I use my Zumo all the time for everything including MP3's and have never touched the side buttons. I do everything I need from the touch screen. Of course ...
