huge discounts on leftover KTM SuperDukes.......?????Why?????

[atadaskew]

Kinda OT: New/leftover 2008 Honda CBR1000RR are going for $7000 all over the place these days. Might have to visit the local Honda shop this weekend and see if that means $7K plus tax/title/plate or not. I'm a huge sucker for screaming deals on leftovers and been wanting a sportbike again...

I think peeps have caught onto the 08 models being oil burners.

Honda NA seems to have a lot of old inventory to get rid of: http://powersports.honda.com/total-price-massacre.aspx

Check out the finance rates, too.    They are hurting.

Wow I'm glad I don't own a semi-new VFR800 bought for $12k and financed.  Ouch, there goes resale.

I can't believe that Honda ad says, "We're Mowing Down Prices!" They should have the guy running one of their mowers instead of a chain saw.

If I were cool enough and could justify a naked bike, I'd get the white SuperDuke. It's awesome.

Since when does one need to justify a bike? It's one of the most impractical forms of trnasportation around as it is.

Well, The bike is a hell of a lot meaner looking than I am and I mostly do longer trips on a street bike so the naked bikes aren't going to work for me.

Still, it's one of the best feeling bikes I've ever sat on. I have not had a test ride. Nope. Not going to do it. Can't make me.

I certainly can understand part of your argument for not wanting a super duke (long distance travel).   But believe me, being cool isn't a criteria of ownership.  I present myself to the court as "Exhibit A" your Honor.

Why the huge discounts........is there something that I am missing or don't know about?

It's the simple law of supply and demand.

Dealer by me just raised the price on their sole SD that is the "demo" model (actually used by the owner).
But that leftover Blade and VFR for less than $8k...hmmm...still happy with the SD!

I just ordered my second SD in a year.  I bought an 07' in October last year.  Sold it this past July as I got offered everything I had in it.  Big mistake.  My dealer found me an 08' with a whopping 13 miles on it, White one and it will be here in two weeks.  Can't wait..
