How About Mail Order?
On the Cycletrader website there are dealers who have very attractive pricing on new models. Cycletrader covers the entire country, so in theory someone in Seattle could buy a bike from a dealer in Florida who has a screamin' deal.
Has anyone bought a "mail order" bike like this? It seems like there are all kinds of reasons not to buy a $10,000, 500 lb. item through the internet (what if it's damaged? even if you can figure out the responsible party can you get it fixed? you gonna send it back?) but maybe these issues have been worked out.
And how much risk is there anyway? A new R6 in Durham, NC is exactly like a new R6 in Salem, OR.
So, has anyone done this? Did it work?
