Ouch! 12 grand? Please tell me that's the taxes in total out the door price? Our bikes are well overpriced here compared to our American cousins, despite our recently at par dollars, but the 2010 650 here listed for $8699 (about $10,500 OTD at full MSRP price)
A new 2009 should be well discounted, especially since the 2011 models are now becoming available. My new 09 Versys was discounted by about $2,400.
