The motorcycle market is mental and a bit infuriating

RideWV, if you are at the dealer any time soon would you mind asking them their out the door price.

Darn I just drover past there this afternoon, but I'll stop in the next day or so and I will ask.

Guess you'll just have to ride the motorcycle over there LOL

The local prices are just too much for me to give into the temptation. It also gives me some ammunition for negotiations should my local fun store actually show a bit of interest in negotiation with their ludicrous offer.

I did a little research on the appreciation of my BMW R1150GS and I believe it will soon be leaving my garage to make way for a DRZ super moto. My daughter is going to be pissed to see “her” motorcycle leave the collection but I think she would get over it.

I just stopped by and priced the 2022 DRZ400SM. $7,985 total, that's what you'd write the check to them for. It does not include your State tax or license plate you'd take care of that yourself. Jim Humphries is the salesman, tell I (Rick) passed on that price. 1-304-296-9055.

Oh wow. Thank you RideWV! That is incredibly fair in this current market.

Given the recent two acquisitions and anger that ensued from the wife I’d definitely need to sell my BMW first but that price is so tempting. It could give me some negotiation power with my local fun store that currently has 4 DRZ400 super motos in stock.

Thank you for looking into that. It would be about 11 hrs round trip excluding stops but if my dealership doesn’t want to play ball I may be heading your way in the future.
