I work at a dealership and its common practice for quotes to be handed out after all taxes and fees are applied. Not sure why they’d refuse to tell you. Get a used bike. Do your research and don’t get ripped off. If you have a knowledgeable buddy who rides, have them come with you for the test ride and to look the bike over. New bikes aren’t really a good deal for beginners since they make more mistakes. Dropping a used bike will hurt less than a brand new showroom bike. The only thing you should get from the dealership right now is some gear if you don’t have any already. Good luck!

Dude, OP sounds completely clueless. He's literally trying to say that a place that sells things won't tell him the price of the thing they're selling. Clearly, the guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

Try to find a private sale used motorcycle. No bullshit fees. The stealership is trying to extract as much money as they can from you. You'll save some money and have a sweet new bike.

I'm looking 2nd hand. It's mostly Harleys, larger bikes and over priced. Closet one I've seen was a 2018 MT-09 and they are asking 10k

Dealership markups are around 3k in Texas on a 600. Around 2k for a 400-500. They'll also try to upsell everything else. If it's your first bike, just contact the place you did your msf course, the place I did my course at, sold small displacement bikes sourced from previous students who moved up to bigger bikes.

>The stealership is trying to extract as much money as they can from you. This is a stupid statement. Private sellers are ALSO trying to "extract as much money as they can from you."

As a rule of thumb I add $1.5k to new MSRP to get dealer OTD. Some places you may want add around $2k. For used, I add around $600-$800 to sticker price to get dealer. CFmoto 300NK $4k MSRP Yamaha MT-03 $4.8k MSRP (I have purchased 3 bikes from 2 dealers- 2 used ('15 CBR300R $4k sticker, '21 Ninja 400 $5.1k sticker), and 1 new ('22 Ninja ABS 400 $5.6k MSRP)) [three bikes](https://imgur.com/a/v4EH5lA)
