What good will that price be if the dealer just stares at you when asked about EFI? Buy from a dealer with GOOD mechanics and GOOD technical support. It's not a toaster at Walmart! IMO MAT
Yeah, it would be a purchase from one dealer, then service at another. Not ideal, but maybe worth the grand+ diff.
Don´t think so! Anyways ... not for me. I´d be totally lost without my local dealer. Was back there recently when a customer came in asking for advice. The dealer later told be that he´d had a trial ride and then bought his bike somewhere else. It´s quite far from Berlin to Stuttgart when problems occur.
That sounds a bit like the guy that walks into a local dealer to try on helmets and then buys on fleaBay.
buy local if at all possible, if the local guy is competent and reputable. It pays off in the long run
