I wont say this PDP $500 deposit to order thing is a great idea. But, that doesnt mean you will get raked at the dealer. I am paying $1100 under MSRP with no fees. (freight/set-up) You need to shop around! Go to the FJR websites, ton of good info there. I know of 3 dealers that sell the non-abs for $9999 and no fees. A huge bargain! Too far from me though. I know lots of dealers are using the situation to screw, so reward them by not giving them the business. Last year a small dealer in Alabama sold 34 FJRs for $9999. All the big boys around me sold only a few for outrageous prices. Buyer beware! Do you research.



Besides, some advantages of the program - less of my cool bike around, and hopefully higher resale values. Not real important factors in my decision process, but its not all bad.

So quit complaining, get off your duff, and do some research! I didnt get one last year for the reasons you mention. Now, there is all kinds of info on them in the mags, on the FJR forums, and I even went and sat on one at a dealer a couple months back. Go to the FJR owners website and ask for a ride. They are a friendly bunch! Now I know I want one, and will not be making a mistake. I guess its easier to complain, than do something about it.!



Besides, you can get one for alot cheaper thatn 13 large! And, no H-D dealer ever let me test ride one of their beauties!



Sorry for the flame post! Peace

Two months ago, I sat on a 2003 that was on the floor for over 4 weeks. Someone backed out of the deal. The point - get off your duff! There were FJRs sitting on the floor at all kinds of dealers. Some were availabe from people backing out of the order. Heck, check the cycletrader and ebay. Today, there were a few unsold 2003s at dealers listed.
