I went to ASK on the east side, just off 70. They deal they gave me wound up with me OTD for a couple hundred less than the MSRP. (no trade-in, outright cash purchase) I had to order the bike and wait a week or two, but it came in and I picked it up no problems. I found them to be nice people and very easy to deal with.

The other dealers in this area are all demanding MSRP at least, and some are charging 275 "freight" on top of that. I was quoted from 8650 to 9200 OTD from the other dealers in the area. They blamed the Tsunami for lack of inventory too.

Honda East in Maumee were listing the bike at 7299 and they quoted me 7950 OTD. I would have gone up there if ASK hadn't matched that deal for me.

Other places list it below MSRP too.

If you're going to do much touring or commuting or any questionable roads I'd go for the DL. More comfortable, better protection, suspension that eats up pot holes and bigger aftermarket for touring farkles.
