I don't think he blew me out the door, we were having a pretty good conversation about us both being stationed at the base here, and he was showing me some of the bikes and explaining some of their particulars. I think he was glad to have something to do since they were all just sitting around with no customers because the temperature was in the teens and there were a couple inches of snow on the ground. He pointed out a couple bikes he thought would be good for me, and steered me away from even considering the in-line 4 I was looking at. He said the best one he had for me was the 09 Vulcan 500. That is a beauty!

I know they make more money if I finance through them, but I don't want to pay the interest and full coverage insurance.

At least I got a ballpark figure of how much cash I might have to spend above msrp if I buy new. But now a used bike is looking more attractive.
