Yes, much like boats, in the off season you can find better deals.  Christmas might factor in as well.  I bought my bike in Feb., and I had been looking for a gs for over 8 months.

I can say firsthand fall is the *WORST* time to sell a bike.


Your best time to buy new from a dealer is Dec/Jan.  
(if you llive where it gets cold)

Right as the bike starts to fall... its value satsrt to fall as well... just 2 seconds and the value might drop 20-30-40-50.... or more percent...  :lol:
Cool.
