I went to Raleigh yesterday and put a refundable deposit on one of the new S1000RRs. I'm still a bit on the fence because I haven't seen it in person yet. The thing that is pissing me off already is how money grubby these bastards are.
Zero deals...yep no discounts, offers, rebates, nothing. I understand that it's a new, hot model but yeesh.
Everything is extra...fuck, they want an extra $700 just for the privilege of getting the bike in white with a blue and red stripe. Abs is $1,000 and race abs with DTC is $1400. If I skip all that crap the bike is about $14,000. Unfortunately, the other color options are kinda ugly, imho.
The accessories are fucking outrageous!!! Yikes!
On a positive note, they do give you a 3 year warranty which will save me approx. $600 on an extended warranty.
My insurance agent is checking the rate now for me, so we'll see if that's a problem.
