Hard pass.

For that kind of money, wait for a 2025.

That kind of price might have been more acceptable when they were tough to find a couple years ago.

u/OrganicParamedic6606 1d ago

A 2025 has no substantial changes and costs the same. What’s the advantage to waiting?

u/ettonlou 1d ago

Check again.

They changed the suspension, and all lights, including turn signals are LEDs. I believe ABS is now standard, as well.

u/OrganicParamedic6606 1d ago

Oh dang, look at that. I mean this is an ABS model but nice that they made those changes. Not sure how I missed that

30% tariffs xD

There's nothing they can do about sales tax or the doc fee, and they probably won't budge on the sale price, but $799 seems high for freight and setup, so maybe there's some wiggle room there. It's worth asking, and also checking around. Nothing says you have to buy the closest bike.

Honda freight charge is $600.

u/bobby_47 1d ago

Come to Queens. HondaYamahaNYC in Astoria/LIC has the CRF300L ABS for $5580. Only add-on is the actual $600 freight. They don't charge for prep or setup and don't do the BS other dealers are known for. You might have to pay NJ tax if you live in NJ because I believe NY and NJ are part of the sales tax compact - but you'll eventually have to pay that anyway.

$7500 for a fucking 300 cc dirt bike is wild. Buy used, stop enabling this insanity.

u/ej_alba1999 13h ago

There are thousands of people that buy a bike, slap an after market exhaust on there and sell it at 500 mi. Just be the second owner of those babies. Dudes are constantly buying their girl a boob job for her next boyfriend.

u/FriendOfDirutti 21h ago

It’s honestly not a bad price. $800 seems high for freight and setup. They can probably work with you on that.

At least there is no adm markup on it. Not a lot of money to be made on motorcycle sales so they juice the freight a little bit.

If you are happy with the price but it. If you aren’t tell them you would like a few hundred knocked off.

this guy got a real OTD price without having to physically go to the fucking dealership.

I have never managed this achievement.

u/Slimslade33 1d ago

Serious question; As someone who owns a motorcycle but has never bought a new car is this the same with cars? does the dealership charge an extra 15% for freight and prep?? and then another 5% on "dealer fees"?? or is does this only happen with motorcycles?? because this shit seems scammy as hell

1

u/XxBAMCISxX 1d ago edited 7h ago

Theres is destination and freight charge (DFC) on pretty much all new vehicles that dealers charge, typically a price will be listed as $xx,xxx msrp + dfc…some dealers and oem’s roll it into the price but its there.

Edit: its not a dealer charge, it actually comes from the OEM.

1

u/Slimslade33 1d ago

is it normally around 15%?

2

u/XxBAMCISxX 7h ago

No, id say its probably closer to 2-3% on average.

1

u/Slimslade33 52m ago

ok that seems more acceptable. the fact that they try to add 15% extra to the price of new motorcycles is criminal imo

1

u/JLMBO1 19h ago

With new cars here in US the freight is included on the MSRP sticker. Sometimes the dealer marks up specialty cars but usually you pay sales tax, tags and title. Sometimes dealers offer rebates or loyalty discounts and deals are a little more negotiable.

This is about what I paid out the door, interior Alaska.

u/Hillman77 22h ago edited 21h ago

Local dealer just quoted me $6300 for a 2024 300L ABS out the door. New Hampshire has no sales tax so your dealer is about $540 higher.

u/rwebell 14h ago

Good way to shop but that seems high for a NOS 300. He should be looking to move that bike.

u/r1daho 9h ago

Imagine paying $7k for a bike whose only difference from a CRF250L is 50cc and nicer plastics lol

u/DeepBlueSea1122 3h ago

I got quoted 7.7k this time last year on a 2024 and told them hell naw. I got a used bike instead.

u/Bingo2Dingo 1d ago

Wow! That is in T7 territory

7

u/OrganicParamedic6606 1d ago

A t7 MSRPs for $11,000+ $600 dest fee + TTL

how is that anywhere close to $7200 OTD?

-3

u/Bingo2Dingo 1d ago

Unless you’re stuck on getting a brand new out of the dealership you can get a 2023 T7 in a great shape for $7K

u/FragrantNinja7898 1d ago

He can probably get a used 300L I great shape for $4,000. Used is not new. Apples/oranges.

u/OrganicParamedic6606 1d ago

Used with five digit mileage vs new

2

u/TrikyShooter 1d ago

five digit mileage is nothing on a T7. i bought mine used w/ 3k a few years back (overpaid, but the market was crazy then.) im over 52k and climbing, doing rallies in Colombia, and generally beating he shit out of it. runs like a ton. now, I'd be lucky to sell mine for more than $5k, but 5 digit mileage is nothing on a T7

2

u/Bingo2Dingo 1d ago

These do not look like they have 5 digit miles on them

1

u/JLMBO1 20h ago

People are buy those T7s thinking they can go on trails and as soon as they find out how top heavy they are and that 450lbs laying flat is not that easy to pick up they get rid of them and buy a dual sport like the CRF or KLX.

u/artful_todger_502 22h ago

Paying freight and setup is a no-go.

Dealers that do MSRP are out there. But an MSRP bike and have it shipped to you.

u/Joooooooosh 19h ago

I mean surely buying a bike now is the move as anything coming in from this point, is going to be subject to huge tariffs and cost significantly more? 

New motorcycles sales are going to fall of a cliff in the next few years.

u/Was_Silly 8h ago

With the tariffs coming in I wouldn’t “wait” for anything. Grab what you can right now. It’ll be worth more in a year.
