Is this markup normal?

I went to the stealership to sit on some bikes and to see if the cash I have saved so far was getting somewhat close to the cost of a bike.

I specifically asked about the 2010 Ninja 250 with a msrp of $3999. I knew I didn't have enough cash, but I told the salesman how much I could pay and asked if he could give me a good OTD price just so I would have an idea of how much more cash I would need. He said he would get as close to my dollar amount as he could, and went to talk to the manager.

Then he came back and said the BEST HE COULD DO WAS $4900.99! (That's right, couldn't even take off the 99 cents!) IS THIS NORMAL?

I do realise there is sales tax of 6.25%, registration fees, etc, etc. but the price still seems extremely high. I don't think he even tried to give me a reasonable figure.
