"I'm going to buy a Ninja 300. It may be from you. I'm calling all the dealers to see who will give me their lowest price. After my round of calls, if your price is the lowest, I'll be there with the money this weekend. If not, thanks for your time. So what is your lowest, out-the-door-include-taxes-title-and-fees price?"

I was thinking of buying a new Ninja 300 as i've ridden the 250 years ago but sold it and now, want a new bike. I was wondering which dealer is best that's in San Francisco or an hour or two drive away. Are there dealers that don't add extra fees just tax, title and reg?

Unless you wanna frustrate yourself and waste time trying to get a straight answer out of a dealer, get yourself a Costco card.
I tried for a couple months to get a decent price for a ZX-10R, and dealers these days seem be more shady than car dealers. They never are willing to give you any OTD prices over the phone, and act all offended that a buyer is able to shop around to try and get the best price, not wanting to pay hidden fees. The guilt trips go something like, "you have to pay these fees to support your local dealer." Problem is, when you need service or parts, or God forbid warranty service, the dealer gives you the shaft whenever and however they can. Don't let anybody talk you into believing your relationship with your dealer is anything other than adversarial. He tries to extract the maximum amount of cash from your wallet, don't feel any guilt trying to get the best price.
Enough ranting, bottom line was that I wasted time beating my brains until I was leaving Costco one day, and saw the bike I wanted on display. I looked into the buyer program, and was able to get an OTD price about $3000 less than what the dealers were willing to give me before, without ANY haggling.

LOL...so tempted to see what's up with Costco buying program now.

I know with cars, I can get a better deal than Costco. For motorcycles, that's a mystery.

thanx for the H-D/BMW dealer rant - however, it's WAY too harsh an assessment for:

Eddie's folks in Fremont
Wendy's crew at Mission
G&B, Mach 1, & selected others up north


finally - "$3000 less" - really? that's almost compelling........

+ 1 gatrilionbillionz for Fremont Kawasaki.
They have been by far the most interested in serving my Kawi/Honda/Suzi needs with excellence. Nuff said.
