[net.cycle] Time of year to purchase a motorcycle?

kev@voder.UUCP (Kevin Hoskins) (08/13/86)

     The subject heading probably says it all. But in the next year
I'll be buying a new 750 (one of the Japanese brands: suggestions and 
recommendations welcomed and encouraged). Is there a given time of the 
year that is best with respect to receiving the best deal? I'll be 
paying cash.

     Please reply by mail. Thank you for any help.

If you wait until the next year's models come out, you can often pick up
a new bike of the current year model at a significant savings.  Just like
with cars, the dealers want to get the old models off of the floor to make
room for the new ones.  The bikes are brand new just not the latest thing.

The local Yamaha dealer has FZ750's for $4000, down from a list price of $4600.
And just think, it's only August!  $-)
