I live in Florida, & I m planing to buy the new 06 1000RR next month when they come out. How much do you think I should pay OTD? Do you think I can buy one for $10,500 otd?

$10,500 OTD with no additional cost what so ever would be a great price.

There is no way to get that kind of price here in OH. I anticipate being able to talk the dealer down maybe $500 off retail but then they will try to add $500 for prep, shipping and what ever else they can try to justify adding in.

I plan on going to Southern Powersports located at Chattanooga TN. They will sell you one for about $9700 out "their" door then you have pay what ever registration tax you have in your state. I am going down to TN some time this coming spring and bring one back to OH. My total price with OH tax should be about $10,379

If I could I would buy one here in OH for $10,500 OTD I would not think twice about it. It will cost me a little more then the difference in gas, time and a hotel room to drive 14 hours round trip to TN. To give you an idea, after intense negations I bought my 05 CBR600RR in May of 05 for $9000 which included tax OTD, basically the full retail price OTD. Using the same equation or buying the 06 CBR1000RR for full retail OTD I should save about $1000 going to TN, not to mention the satisfaction of riding the bike in to the dealer here in OH bragging by saying look how much I spent.

 

Honestly, I seriously doubt I 'll be able to buy the 06 for $10,500 OTD, concidering the 05 models are still on the floor. But I'm gonna try my best to hustle them, & if I m gonna pay more, I'll make sure to have them throw things with it, extended warranty, 12 oil filters, wrench, tank cover, ANYTHING...LOL..............will keep you posted.

Please do. Roadracing World, great mag by the way, just did a review/track test of the 06 1000RR and said many good things about it. In the next couple months all the other mags will feature it including road tests which I still want to read since Honda claims they designed the 06 more for racing and not the road like 04/05's.

 

R U planning to buy one too next month (05Tribal)? which color will you choose, & why?







.

 

I plan on buying mine in March at the earliest but more likely April or May.

 

SO which color?

.

 

Opps, I am leaning toward red and black.

 

me 2, red & black is my favorite.

Wait til after the mags do their liter bike comparisons since the Honda will almost undoubtedly come out on bottom so the prices will drop by July. Most honda buyers are used to this so it doesn't really matter what the mags say.

If you can find a deal on a leftover '05, grab it, since the performance difference with the '06 will be neglegible. Use the money you saved to put a full exhaust/PC/sprockets and you're there for a lot less money.
