privateer did you ever post the bikes you owned in my thread ?
I've never known, in 40+ years of buying bikes, a dealer to offer a price guarentee contract in advance of the deal.
Dunno, maybe some do.
Anything I've ever signed was after we came to an agreement on price, to consumate the purchase. My method of locking the price in, and nothing is ever certain but most dealers are honorable, has always been to make a sizeable downpayment.
This C14 I'm getting is the first time I ever did not make a downpayment prior to delivery. The dealer told me I didn't have to since they know me well enough.
I doubt I posted to any threads about "what bikes have you, or do you currently, own?". I've mentioned it many times.
In my 40+ years of riding, the bikes I have owned (or had possesion of for a long time) have been: panhead Harley, Kawasaki - H1, H2, Z1, GPZ1100, ZX11, ZX10, ZX12, ZX14, and soon C14. I cannot even count the number of different bikes I've ridden but did not own.
I've gotten to the point in my motorcycling I don't care about haggling over price. If I want it, I get it from the place closest to me. If I have to pay more, so be it.
I've had supercars that I had to drive 3 hours just to get a tune up done. After I grew up, I realized what a crock that was. I could use the 6 hours of driving and entire day lost for much better things.
