my bad
Dunno where you got that. The MSRP for a 2010 ABS was $17,600 and for 2012 it's $18,230. That's a difference of... (takes off shoes, counts on toes) $630 or about 3.5%. Interestingly, inflation in the U.S. has been near that figure for the last six months.Without seeing other replies...IS HONDA CRAZY ????? A $4,000 jump in price from last year !
The $14,900 figure has to be their selling price. Dealer invoice on STs has typically been about $2,000 below MSRP, which would put it at $15,600. Chop out $880 in holdback from Honda and "actual" is about $14,720. For all I know Honda is giving incentives to unload old inventory. If it was March, they'd have been eager to deal because holdback checks are cut in April.Dealer invoice price was $14,300 for the '10 on the dealer floor when I bought my '07 in March.$14,900 was msrp.
And I can keep making fender extenders Just think of all the STs that need them now and will need themHonda will support the 1300 until 2022 in parts and service. Until the recent release of the '12 model it was until 2020. Or something to this effect.
I've never liked it when my chosen bike goes out of production. I'ts just sad to me, I don't know. With one bike (V65 Sabre) it only took 2 years.I've asked this in several threads and nobody's ever answered: Why?
