Every dealer has this stupid fee. I just bought a new dirt bike and every dealer I shopped has this fee. This is because most dirtbikes and scooters are so cheap that they do not make very much on them 25-100 profit. So they tack on this fee, some say it's a fee to put the bikes together from shipment. They also make most of their profits from accessories like helmets, gear etc.. If you want the best place for a new Honda, OTD Cycles in Oakland has the best deal no B.S. they only will quote you the Out the door price. I saved over 600 bucks buying from them. Also check out craigslist, they have some awesome deals there. Some shops will let you test drive them if you have a license (motorcycle).

The 250 Ninja that people is recommending is a great bike, very easy to ride and good on gas. If its your first bike and have not riden before, buy a used one that way you wont feel bad about dropping it etc...

Your the 2nd person to recommend me to Out The Door Motorsports.

I'm gonna call them tomorrow.*

*Update I just did their out-the-door quote.....$1.9k out the door,everything paid, including all applicable taxes, registration, and document fees. Not bad.

Another thing I'm noticing with scooters...

Kbb list the 07' Metro suggested retail value at $1500,but yet Honda's sight list 07' & 08' at $1900. Is that normal for these types of vehicles?
