That's my thoughts, I am getting my taxes back as well which is about half the cost of the bike. I'm basically as high as it is going to get without having some type of loan on record. Fact is sooner or later I am going to need to finance something right? So why not start small with something I would really enjoy as well as know how to take care of that way when I need to make a big purchase my credit mix as well as overall credits improved. My first bike was a 2000 GSXXR 750 but was way to big and I basically wrecked my hip from leaning all my weight on it because I couldn't touch with both toes, not to mention I'm not very big. No I am not a new rider and completed the Motorcycle safety course 4 or 5 years ago and have had my endorsement ever since. In a few years when demand is lower again, you can be a little more cutthroat with your negotiating, that's not really an option right now in my experience. So, it's more a function of what's happening in the market right now. I waited months for the dealer I originally ordered from until I found out they weren't getting one and had to go somewhere else. I bought a 2021 Ninja 1000SX last year and had to call multiple dealerships to even find one that had one in stock. The used market's pricing is insanely high as well, so you can't exactly avoid it. Since the start of COVID, people have been paying sticker + fees from dealerships for new bikes. It's like trying to bargain hard with renting a place in New York City- there's 100 people lined up behind you that want it. Your tactics right now, will result in you not being able to buy a bike if it's an in-demand model. What you're saying applies when demand for bikes is lower than it is right now.
