Regardless of what they paid, they'd try to make even more of a profit on the sale of it. No way someone sold them that bike for less than $3999. If so, they are idiots. If for whatever reason they did...I see the dealer asking for close to $6K on it to make a good profit. I would not buy this bike simply cause when I got home or rode it for a week or so and discovered an issue with it, i'd have a serious problem with the Iceman after preaching it's a great deal, nothing wrong over and over again on here. No offense, Iceman, but something seems too good to be true, it usually is. In the turmoil the economy is in, no one is losing $ when they can make it...sorry. Be that as it may, i'm looking for a bike and got cash to buy..however your attitude on skepticism isn't attractive, so good luck on the sale.
