Cash is a negative when buying things like cars and motorcycles. Often times, dealers make a little on the back end if they finance. Sometimes they will factor that into the deal.

My buddy was selling left over 2008 CBR1000s for $9400 OTD. Sometimes honda will extend the hold backs on certain bikes or give reduced/free flooring for certain models meaning the dealer is more apt to wiggle on price if it's not a big seller.

Cost ain't always cost on bikes.
