My local dealership charges MSRP on all bikes all the time no more no less that way there is no confusion. A side note they just sold an orange and black SERG that actually sat on the floor unclaimed for 5 days

Too late, my cu4 is due 9-26, msrp otd at Gainesville, thats far enough at 5 hours north...

For the most part all the dealers down here are not worth a......nevermind, I ain't been impressed lets say..

I fill the space: CH!T

That last sentence is the answer to your question.  Not trying to be a wiseguy--really--but as long as a dealer can get $whatever over MSRP, why shouldn't he?  He's in business to make as much money as possible on the items he has for sale.  Why should he not do that as long as folks continue to pay it?

I live in Florida and I've always been amazed that Rossmeyer can get the incredibly high asking prices for his bikes, but guess what--somebody buys them.  I hear that during Bike Week and Biketoberfest alone, he sells a whole bunch of overpriced bikes--to the amazement of the locals.

The only way this will stop is for folks to stop paying it.  When the dealer has hundreds of unsold bikes at his dealerships, regular production, or CVO or whatever, then he'll lower his prices.  One can't expect a discount when folks like us are calling from all over the country asking to put their names and a "sold" tag on the next ones the dealer gets.

You are right...I saw during bike weekl ast March  selling the CUSE in more than $46K ..........unbelievable!!

[amigo Jorge]

I have owned 5 CVO and one is coming and I never have paid more than MSRP + freight + preparation  ........ Purchased in Ft. Walton Beach, Lakeland, Tampa, Leesburg..........but in South Florida where I live NOTHING!!!..only the maintenance

[SBB]

only the maintenance

They require maintenance?

RUT ROH!

I think the prices will improve when the excitement over the new '09 models dies down.  Dealers won't charge over MSRP when folks aren't willing to pay over MSRP.  As long as there are those willing to pay, there will be dealers willing to take the money.

There are still '08 CVOs out there sitting on dealers' floors.  I bet that they'd deal now and I'd be surprised if they wouldn't come off those MSRP numbers.  I doubt that they'll get $2K over MSRP for one of those '08s still on the floor.  Cool your jets, wait to see if the 110 fix is really a fix, and then go after an '09 CVO.  You should be able to get the price right.

Dogols,
I think you've got it a little backwords.  1 €uro = US$1.4695; so 37,400 €uros = US$54,959.30; US$25,300 = 17,216.74 €uros.  They really hit you hard over there don't they.

What models?  I was there last weekend picking up the Bushtec that I bought from a guy further north........they didn't have any on the floor at that time.
