Pricing

So when i went to the dealer to preorder my hyperstrada with $2000 he gave me pricing. He gave the itemized pricing and out the door price. If my memory serves me right for each bike ducati sells they have to charge for shipping about $800, dealer assembly and set up fee $250, plus registration and taxes it would be $15500. Thats more than $2k on fees which i could really use on buying some gear. The guy at the dealer said he could waive the set up fee of $250 but i still would like to get a little discount. It is also my first time buying a bike from a dealer but i guess i can haggle at the dealer to pay under the MSRP. Or maybe i can get them to waive the freight/shipping fee. Has any of you guys had any luck doing any of that on your previous ducatis??

This will also be my first Ducati. I have a good relationship with my local dealer and often in lieu of huge reductions in msrp, they will 'throw in' $500-600 worth of free gear. You might be able to talk your dealer into something like this. Remember he wants/needs your business. Good Luck

Looking at just under $19.5k AUD ($20,220 USD) all the way down here, to give some perspective a regular Speed triple with ABS can be had for $18k AUD.

All ride away prices.

Wow!! Those are crazy prices. Even the US price. MSRP isn't what the dealer pays. The amount a dealer pays for the bike is significantly less than the MSRP allowing the dealer to profit from selling it at the MSRP. The other "fees" are strictly added on profit.

I am very interested with this bike but if I can't find one with an out the door price of MSRP or less I will wait a year to buy used or go to a dealer that will deal.

Just my 2 cents.

Retail pricing for most durable goods goes something like this Â¼ of the retail price goes to the OEM the remaining goes to the retail seller if an item is sold whole sale that is usually Â¼ higher than the original Â¼ above the OEM price so say the retail price is 20 so then 5 goes to the OEM and 15 goes to the retail seller who has to pay commission and overhead costs say maybe 10 leaving 5 on each sale for profit granted bike sales may be a little bit different than say cars or jewelry but its fairly standard across the industry.

You probably won't find an out the door price because all dealers love to negotiate and things like destination and set up fees taxes ect all effect the price.

Most dealer wont "cut the price" on the bike but can give free stuf like extra items to the bike, free insurance one year(and this is the good one), free service frist year (the one they can "give" easy as its a lot of $ for you and me, and mostly some oil for them)

I think the bikes in US is less expencive than EU or as above say, Australia.
