I don't think there's much negotiation on the bike's price...unless you get 2 dealers pitted against one another...but there really isn't much room to move. You will definitely be able to negotiate dealer prep and shipping charges, though. I was able to get the prep and shipping thrown in, traded in ...

Looks like pricing went up for all 2006 Multi's (except for the 1000). That price doesn't sound like he is giving you a discount at all. The MTS 620 lists for $8495. Add 8.25% for sales tax (it might be higher in Orange cty), that's $9195.84. So he is charging you $997.16 for dealer prep and title ...

Alaskan...I'm 5'6" and 165 and I have zero problems with the height of the 1000 so I don't think you will either. Decide on price if it's ...

I'm hoping to go out this afternoon and buy my MTS-S today from one of the (2) local dealers here in southern CA...Del Amo Motorsports or Pro-Italia. Hoping, meaning as long as I get the deal I'm looking for. Anyone know if the MTS has any negotiating room like buying a car, or do dealers have a ...
