Hello to all. Im sure the topic has been beaten to death but Im wondering. I have a left over '12 in my area and the dealership will not go lower than 12k otd. Is that a good price? Thanks for you opinions.

I got a left over 12, last yr for $11.5k

I got my '13 white in NC for $11,498, of course brought it home and had to pay local tax ... + tag / title. So about $12,200 OTD.

Bought my 14r 2012 new for 18900 tax, freight and license 21000
12000 is a mere pentence
BUY IT

It's according to what you mean by OTD

Does that include tax, title, license, etc?

If so, that's s decent deal but I would think you could keep looking for a lower price. But at the same time, New leftover 12s are obviously getting s bit harder to find,

To some, OTD means everything. To others that term don't include tax

There's a 2013 ABS with 1200 miles on it for 10k in the for sale section. Seems like a great deal.

Your in one of those states were items cost more. Decent price.

I got my 2013 ABS for 13,200 last November

California...April 2014 purchased new 2013 zx14r abs for $14,500 otd.

2013 ABS for 11.2k otd on March of this year

I'm do confused on the pricing for the zx14r. When I purchased my bike in April this year, there were 4 zx14r on the floor. The new 2013. Sticker for 3 including mine was $12,400 plus all other fees. Today the 3 bikes are still there but no now they are listed for $13,500. WTF?? Why would you raise the price? 2 other dealers have 2013 still and want $15k+. California is f#*@ed up.

I bought mine in 2013 as a 2012 left over. Was still in the crate when I paid for it. $12,500 OTD. I paid cash.

The 2012 green SE is rarer then the other colours,in2012 that was the only model brought into Canada.with exchange rate taxes etc we get raped.I was very fortunate and paid just over 17 OTD.if it is the green SE 2012 tht price doesn't seem that bad

"The 2012 green SE is rarer then the other colours"
Its THE bike to have.............Can I get a witness?

Hell to the yeah!

Get you some of that!

"The 2012 green SE is rarer then the other colours"
Its THE bike to have.............Can I get a whiteness?

Oh you know you can man!

Black & white is still the fastest!

Fuckin' crackers.

MrWoo, a few things I can think of would make the price go up from April till now.

1. I believe the incentives have fallen off.
2. Its summer = prime buying time.
3. with the end of the production cycle, models may be drying up = supply and demand. Also as the supply of '12 and '13 models dwindle, this will leave only '14's and they may be reluctant to give as good a deal.
4. Word may be finally getting out to the masses about how much these things kick the Busa's ass and more and more are selling? lol.

Just my .02. I'm no expert, and haven't been paying close attention; but this would be a good start to explaining why they cost more now.

Q. "Can I get a whiteness?"

A. "Fuckin' crackers."

Fuk'inn Fun Knee I slapped it.

No affiliation to this dealer, and no idea what they add on to this price; but locally to me I saw this posted today.
Seems ok for a bike with abs.

2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS Golden Blazed Green 6-speed 1441cc - $12299

http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/mcd/4562626401.html

I have the 2013 golden blaze green. I drove all the way to West Virginia from Baltimore to get it. I honestly didn't want green. But I wanted abs and the black ones they had left over didn't have abs. I could have gotten the non abs for 10500 otd. But I paid 11500 for the abs one. This was in march of this year. 2014's at the same dealer were 15999. I had to pay 900 in tax, tags and title when I registered the bike in Maryland. So about 12400, total is what it costs me. I'll tell you what else, pics don't do the Green justice. You have to see it in person and see how the gold specks in the paint shine in the sunlight. I love the Green now.

I would think 12k out the door is a great price. I bought my leftover 13 this year for 13k plus taxes.

i bought mine on jan of 2014 and it is a se model 2013 with a nice helmet came with it tax,title even 14k.

All 4 dealers in my area only have left over 2013. No 2014 on floors yet.
