THE NUMBER 1 RULE OF BUYING A MOTORCYCLE IS NEVER BE AFRAID TO WALK AWAY IF THE DEAL ISNT RIGHT FOR YOU.

Agree completely. This rule applies to cars/trucks too. Every time I have walked away from the deal they have come back with a better deal, doesn’t mean I took it cause it still might not be right, but don’t let them force you into a deal that’s not good for you.

Number 1 rule fir buyin anything.......I believe Sean is straight up dude but salesman at dealerships, lol......cars, trucks, bikes doesn't matter, have fair price and if no walk away, go to next.....if your too low nobody will bite so has to be price people have paid for them.....
Fantastic review. I've bought and sold over 50-60 cars/trucks/MCs in my life and when I finally, about 25 years ago, settled on the concept of win-win, both buyer-seller happy, my own happiness increased much. It came about by studying Stoicism. Realizing that I can't read someone's mind so don't presume to know motive. Simply be fair for my own good. Life is so much simpler.

I owned both, Harley is so much better and the dealership is so personal. Buy American
Destination harley in Silverdale Washington. Great dealership, great management. I bought a 09 street glide. It was a rolling turd. They bought it back from me for what I paid for it. I have purchased two more Harleys since then. I will never by from anyone else. They made a fair profit and earned a customer for life. Very smart business plan.
Road out to a honda dealership in springfield, MO last night to get a trade value and check out the used bike they had, which was a good deal - turns out they have all the used bikes sitting out in an open awning and they are filthy. Then we start talking prices and the same guy who told me the listed price was the OTD price, tells me that there are some fees for them having *checked*(rather than changed) the fluids and chain when it rolled into the dealership months ago. They wanted another $160 just to check, NOT CHANGE, the fluids. Then they wanted a "maintenance fee" of $200 for keeping it clean. I guess water spots, crusty dirt and gummed up chain is the new definition of clean. They wanted to value my bike for $1500 under the NADA low value that they claimed they went by on their website and reviews. I physically laughed out loud and left. What a joke. 260 mile trip for a bunch of BS, will never do it again. Froze my ass off during that ride, so I learned multiple lessons. Thanks, Honda of the Ozarks!
I rarely pay what a seller is asking, but I have never left someone feeling like they shouldn't have sold it to me. There's a point where I save as much as I can, but when you can see the seller starting to get to the point of just telling you to leave, you're probably going past the good deal point to "Get the heck of my property!" Haha. Good points.
Just shows how ignorant some people are, I’ve had similar experience: Coworker says he likes my truck and how much would I be willing sell it for. I say it’s not for sale and he still goes with the “oh I seen them for X amount of dollars with less miles and way nicer looking... 😑 Ok go buy it then?!?! Some people are flat stupid and it shows.

As a salesman in a different industry: this is probably the only video that I’ve seen that is spot on :) well done sir. I’d like to add that nobody needs to be an A-hole even if you decide to walk away. It’s ok to not meet on a price… if you are not ok walking away, pay the asking price.
4:25 In a private party sale, it makes a lot of sense to ask for a completely firm price, and it makes a ton of sense as a buyer to pay that completely firm price, if everyone's asking $5,000 for a bike, it's really worth $4,600, and that "firm" price you found is for $4,400. That firm price is discounted a couple percent below market value without you even having to ask for it because the seller just happens to be a very fair person who doesn't want to field phone calls for 3 weeks. Firm deals are in many cases, the most fair deals you can find. You just need to make sure you know market value.

Thanks for the insight Sean. Perhaps one point for buyers is to be familiar with your local dealer. Have a look around now and again, buy something from them like chain lube (unless you’ve got a shaft drive😁) or riding gear. Someone once said to me ‘It’s nice to be nice’. Regards, Bob M.
@srkcycles Takes a real man to tell the truth about buying and selling when you're a dealer, hoping to come up and do business soon! 👍
Hey, thanks for the video. Most people should benefit from it but you still have that percentage of people who was born to be negative. The words of wisdom is something that I like to hear.
Lol, at the Caleb flash frame.
If a dealer offers a bike for a certain price then adds "Dealer prep" or whatever add-ons they can come up with...what the hell is dealer prep other then a way to jack up an already stated price, anyway?
Very good video, I really appreciate the advice especially the respect between the seller and buyer and doing haggling on the phone before hand. Thankyou!!
It would be interesting to see an update of this video concept with modifications to take into account the covid 19, and civil unrest crises. I'm fairly certain that fewer people are trying to buy motorcycles now, but I was just looking for a sporty and my local HD has a '16 Dyna for the same 9k they are asking for an '08 Nightster.
Yes, be honest, kind, and upfront, lying burns you in the end. Great points!
I had a guy look at a bike I had for sale once. He was such a jerk I told him to get off of my property. He then offered me what I had asked for the bike . I said "I guess you didn't hear me. Get off of my property. I'm not selling you ANYTHING at ANY price". One of the few times I let emotions get in the way of making a deal. I'm still glad I did it. Some times you gotta stand up for your self no matter what.

Awesome video! Thank you for the information it is very helpful.
I've been trying to buy a new dirt bike with cash. Its been incredible how rude the dealerships have been. I went to a dealership that Ive bought 3 bikes from and they wouldn't come off 1 dollar on a left over 2020 model. Its been very annoying and made we not want to buy from them ever again. They keep hitting me with the well there is no inventory but the bikes been on the floor for 45 days. Im driving out of the state to buy if no one local wants to make a sell.
Makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
Love the channel and great advice
Some great tips thank you
Good video man. Always watching in Canada 👍
Only other advice I’ve learnt over the years is that we generally don’t wake up in the morning and say ‘I’m gonna trade my bike today’. Normally we know in a little while we’ll be trading and start looking around. Keep an eye on the bikes that aren’t moving. Then when you’re ready you’ve got an instant hit list of bikes that have been sitting at a dealer a couple of months. It’s hit and miss. Generally I find 2/3 times it’s because the photos are overly flattering and they’ve had months of people rocking up and thinking ‘oh.’, but about a third of the time the ad’s as accurate as any other and it’s a good place to start. But as the video says don’t be a dick & rock up like ‘I know you can’t sell this bike, so you’ll sell it to me for half’, be nice, polite have a chat about the bike, and make them an offer. As is always the way, if they say no, just walk. If you’re too invested in a bike you haven’t bought yet yoy’re Not getting a good deal. Bikes are mass produced and most models you have a lot of options. If the dealer will cut a deal, take it, if not, try to understand why and try somewhere else so long as the reason isn’t ‘my expectations are ludicrous’ Great vid though. TBH one of the reasons 80% of my bikes have come from dealers is that it’s usually easy to find a dealer that will deal whilst private sellers are more often a total PITA.
Honestly the Harley guy you bought the CT90 would make a great salesman. I really enjoyed that video.
Good video bud. Hope this helps used bike shoppers out there.

My experience was that it was not a "positive" as I believe the Dealer makes money with financing arrangements. Next Dealer purchase will be setting a firm price before discussing method of payment.
Don't forget the dealer fee, especially when you try to make the deal over the phone. Some dealers love to try and sneak that one in when you are sitting in the finance office after you think you have a deal and are exited about getting the vehicle.

Most Harley Dlrs want full MSRP, freight & anywhere from $999 - $2100 Mark up or dealer prep. (same thing) here in So Cal. They will negotiate some, but want to hit home run with every sale. I've bought 3 new HD's but went out of state to smaller dealers for more reasonable deals on 2 of 3 bikes. I understand how HD sales are dropping year after year. Other factors like, aging demographic and millennials not buying cruisers factor in. I've always had more pleasurable experience buying Japanese bikes with discounts off MSRP, no freight or set up.
Good advice Sean, all made good sense
I wish more people would watch this video... only thing is people who need to learn about this are the ones that NOT watching this now
Typically actually buying the bike or car, especially at a dealership, takes all the fun out of a normally exciting, happy experience. So many salespeople are slime balls. You seem like a good person to buy through. I am older and have purchased a few cars and bikes. My technique is to receive an out the door price over the phone. I want to be in and out of the dealership in 30 minutes not 3 hours. Start all the paperwork so all you need is a signature. I usually pay cash or have financing from somewhere else to speed the process. Glad to hear your sales people do not work on commissions. Some larger dealerships are switching over to that model to make purchasing faster and a good experience.

Great video. I think this approach can work in any buy/sell situation, not just motorcycles.
99.99% of Dealerships won't give you what Bluebook value is for your trade in and that's what gets my goat. I left a place once due to being low balled by $500 less than what the Bluebook value was. I mean, why bother even having a Bluebook value on ANYTHING if it's not adhered to? I ended up getting my trade in value met AND got a better deal on the bike I wanted at another dealership. Bottom line, if you're not satisfied and the dealership isnt willing to work with you GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Hey Sean, any advice on buying a bike on cycle trader online. Thanks
This is real talk 💯💯
I have to take the two hour drive to you when I am in the market for a new bike. You seem like a straight shooter who don’t lie about the bike. One place by me is like that but they are kind of over priced and they don’t budge on the price
What about a new bike they thru a custom paint job? How much do they tack on for that?
Hey, thanks I’ve learned a lot from your videos, would you ever consider buying a certified used motorcycle from a dealer a thousand miles away without physically seeing, and having it shipped? Thanks
My main gripe with dealerships are bait and switch tactics. I typically email or call dealerships first prior to driving 50 plus miles and ask about specific bikes and ask if there is any room for negotiation on the price. If they say yes then if I go there they better be willing to wiggle. However some dealerships I've found bait you in and the say we wont budge (Cough BMW Motorcycles of Long Beach cough)
I found a bike I really wanted all done up 2014 Harley Davidson fxdb at a car dealership for 8999 when I contacted to pretty much try and seal the deal on the purchase they ended up selling the bike a couple days prior . I found the exact same bike from that dealership up for sale at another car dealership for 15999 lol. My question is do you think it’s possible to get that price lowered .
Is there a reliable listing of motorcycle values like there is for cars (Edmunds.com)?

comparing bikes may not work on used bikes but it does on new. I have two Harley dealers close to me and I have pitted them against each other for the same model of bike and ended up with a great price under MSRP. No bullshit dealer fees or freight and set up.
Hey Sean maybe this is off topic I laid my bike down in my parking lot and it's already been at Harley for repair over four months. I called them every week in the excuse is always that the paint job is impossible to get replaced and they're still looking for a custom paint shop that can do it. have you ever ran into that problem before. My bike is a 2005 Heritage Softail Classic with a custom paint job from Harley

I would have to agree with a lot of what you said. However if I am buying from a dealer I have no intentions of ever working with again (distance from me etc). I am not horribly worried about the sales staffs feelings. I am more interested in best price possible. Private sales I totally agree because they may buy from you down the road or may turn you to a deal you wouldn’t know about otherwise etc. if a dealer is honest upfront and doesn’t try to dazzle me with total bs and does right by me then I will go back repeatedly. Trust is a huge thing with me. I bought a truck that ended up having pretty major issues my mechanic found. Brought it back and the dealership apologized it even took longer than they thought to fix it but made sure everything was perfect before they gave it back. They now have a repeat customer. Not just me. My wife, son and 3 daughters as well.
Hey guys your thoughts on a 2016 Honda NC700X - 7,170 miles. Dealer is listing at $5,995. Seems a little high, checking Kellys and NADA the average retail is $5200 to $5500.
Sean appreciate you brother my home town is Westchester, Pa now living in Fargo, ND just recently started getting into bike is how I've learn about you watch your videos' often best part about them? God is first
Great Stuff! I'd like to know how you actually research bikes too. I'm a huge Goldwing fan. All Years. 1985 1200 Interstate is my current steed. Where do you get your data? Maintenance issues per year and model, etc, etc,. I'd enjoy the research but other than cycle mag reviews online I really am clueless on how to get the data. I would truly love to drive/fly in with my wife and ride it back to Colorado Springs. All the best my friend. J.R.

That’s was outstanding buying experience

Love the subliminal message at "don't be a jerk" at 6:45. Very funny. Very helpful video. Thanks!
problem with this advice, it's all good, but it assumes the dealership/sales know what they are doing. I was looking to buy a specific Triumph model, but not a specific year, or whether a show room, or used version. There was 3 at the dealership, with prices all over the place. I called ahead, set-up a test ride, new the prices ahead, but confused as to why the used '17 version was priced higher than the 'new 18 model, while the '19 model had a dealer incentive. The sales person had no idea of any of it. What I wanted to be maybe an hour or two to figure out the best deal, this bloke wasted an hour of time to come back with MSRP prices that were not even from the website. I said, no way am I gonna waste a saturday while you figure out what serial numbers are worth whatever. Told him to email prices. He followed up with a text message if I was still interested. no prices, no specifics. fack you.

I agree, if it is a used bike, telling the salesman/seller that there is another bike at another dealership that is less money has zeeeero bearing on the bike in front of you. However, if it is a New bike and you have an actual WRITTEN Agreement, then that is a completely different story, and you can show the current salesman/manager the WRITTEN Agreement and make a better deal for yourself, if there is any more room in the deal and they want to actually take that deal.

I'll add a copy/paste of a question/comment I shared on Sean's 6 dealership things to watch out for, circa 2018. Thought I'd ask over here......"Old video, I know. However, question is....with new or used bike, is cash still king? I'm fortunate to not have to finance (anymore!). With vehicles, cash is no longer king, they WANT you to finance so they can get more outta you with finance charges. Appreciate any response! Thanks for all your videos, Sean!"
This should be the Bikes and Beards Bible. Top points
Is there gonna be much wiggle room for me with a dealership price of 5200 on a new 2029 CRF250L ?
Ho do I tell if this is a restored salvaged bike?
Last week I walked out of a motorcycle dealership because of the ridiculous price they tried to sell me the motorcycle. It was a 2012 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 for $3850. Great price until the sales guy says he’s going to run some numbers and came back with a $5950 price. $2100 on top of the original price. I was so shocked I didn’t even look at the breakdown. I know it he added sales tax, assembly fee, document fee, and all this crap. What is mind-boggling to me is that in this country they actually make you finance all these charges. Talk about bend over event. these charges should not even be added until the very end. you should not finance a document fee, or an assembly fee, etc. On top of that they came back with the 18% interest rate. The dealership was RideNow Motorsports. Crazy!
Agreed, nice works, mean doesn't, there are enough meanies, be nice

I just did that, we negotiated my trade in for their bike, everything was good, the salesman from Woodstock Harley Davidson mike morgan asked me if I’ve earned his business , and I said yes I’ll be in tomorrow, when I got there he and his corrupt finance guy sal said some one put money down on the bike this morning, I got to their lot at 10:38 he left me a voice mail at 10:45 bs, we agreed , that that bike would be mine yesterday, he never asked me for money to secure the bike, so I guess he thought I wouldn’t say anything, wrong, he basically already ran my credit for a new bike, had all the same numbers on my trade in, but for a new bike, so he attempted a bait and switch tactic, and what makes matters worse is the the owner Bill Nugent didn’t come out to correct the bad tactic, so he had to know, they called the cops on us because they said we were unruly, no we were loud and pissed off, they had no honest answers.

Probably the most important piece of advice I give people is: "Be willing to walk out empty-handed." If you throw a number at a dealer and he absolutely won't budge, you HAVE to walk out. If you stick around after you've made your "final offer" and it gets rejected, that dealer has you by the throat.
