You'd make some people very happy out here! After purchasing some parts form 'Beezdeals' and 'WeBike' someone would make a lot of money selling modifications/OEM parts out here If they could purchase and resell and allow the buyers to avoid these crazy shipping costs.Maybe I should round up two or three for west coast guys, let them buy them here for MSRP and then drag them out there for a much smaller fee than what those ADM's are calling for haha.
To get something shipped to my door from 1/2 way around the world in 4-5 days for $80 isn’t too bad in my book.Yea we need a state side importer for aftermarket parts for sure. These markups and long ship times are ridiculous.

I don’t think dhl is free. Would seem like a pretty consensual “screwing” as you order the part and give them payment, doesn’t sound like you yourself get screwed if you don’t order things not needed for a play bikeI buy off-road parts from Australia that get here in a week for less money than they can be bought for here in the US. Sorry, but the Thai parts suppliers are screwing us right now.
A year ago when I started looking for a Trail that was what I found as well, although my local Dealer did have one on their floor which they were willing to sell me for just over $6,300 if I recall. I ended-up buying a used one (800 miles and less then a year old) from a member on this site for $5K.Out here in CA these bikes are waiting list only. If you put your name on the list you'd be lucky to get one in the next year. Looking at ones available for the last six months most are on the east coast. When they do pop up here and you call about them there is ALWAYS a waiting list of five or more people on it. The only way to get one in a timely manner here in California is to offer more money. They all have and ADM (Additional Dealer Markup) added to the MSRP. You will have to pay well over $6K here in NorCal to get one. I've been on five different waiting lists for over six months and have never received a call. I had to show up in person and negotiate my way off their waiting list ($$$). That said, money well spent to not wait another year for one...Just consider yourselves lucky to even own one. Love, love, love my 'motor driven cycle' (DMV definition).

Are the off-road parts you speak of for a niche bike with maybe 5-700 in the us or something like a klr, Crf, or other bike sold in the thousands?
I won’t change your mind, you won’t change mine…. As posted above, don’t buy from them, fix the problem, or just get feisty on the inter webs!
Suerte!
Yeah it's hard to tell how much of that is fluff that they're just trying to get a few extra bucks.So still a $3999 MSRP, that's good to see. I'd try and work them down on those freight and prep fees though.
This was how it was done for me, because I was purchasing from out of state and registering at my local DMV. It was a pretty painless process because my DMV equivalent is an extremely short and pleasant line, but that's definitely a YMMV moment.For tag and title look up the cost for a new motorcycle title and registration in your state & county. Those should be optional at the dealership, if you don't want to pay them to do it you would request the Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin and handle all title and registration work yourself at the DMV.
No sales tax?This is how they wrote mine up.
