Actually that price was advertised on Craigslist, a local website, and in the local "CityBike" rag. I did not haggle at all, and when I failed at locateing a leftover 2003 the other dealers who had all had "low price guarantees" could not match it. That price was before tax and license of course...
I wish i had known, but to do it again i would warm the bike up in the dealer lot, then change the oil immediately. I've heard all sorts of stories of stuff found in the oil first change, and even tuny aluminum filings melt and cover the transmission gears etc. I might also to do it again ignore the dealer break-in advice and really get on it the first 20 miles as advised elsewhere, but then that's a whole other and contraversial topic...at this point I'm stuck with complteing the Kawasaki break-in protocol. Good Luck!
