I got the same deal on my SMS, I was going to put 2K down, but the most they would let me was 1k. I've never had an auto loan, but I do have a mortgage. My payments are $99/mo
I don't know why they're still showing the msrp at $8999, but the list price was dropped $2500 to blow them out. I guess they brought a bunch into the US and sales didn't take off. Seems all of the stupid pro ride reports are with the bike in stock tune so they get panned a bit. Dummies. Also the TE450 sells 10 to 1 of 630's, which stands to reason. Most buyers are wanting a true lightweight trailbike so 450/449/510/511 sell well. The dualsport segment has lots of offerings and a lot fewer riders. I also heard a new TE650 is coming with the BMW single in it (barf), and a 900/950. So they wanted to move the 630's. Fine with me, it's exactly what I wanted. There are also cash-backs to dealers on the other models, pretty much all of them. The best buy in the line up is the 250. Fewer buyers for those as well. But who else makes a racing four stroke with a street license??? I should'a bought 2 bikes!!
