Test rode a SL sling. Kinda like riding in a little sports car. Pros = Steering was nice, shifted nice, felt comfortable, radio sounded nice, caught a little second gear scratch. Cons = Salesman told me nobody beats his deals (25,000.00+), then I told him about a dealer in WV who advertises them for 18,999.00. Then I told about his store in north end of town who has a price of 21,449.00 on a red sl. All he could say was... I don't know how they can sell them at those prices. It's hard to find a good deal in Houston as all of these asshats think msrp is a standard price. I'm holding out till I can get a real deal. I did tell him I worked for Yamaha years ago and he said, then you know how it works here... I said yep.
Did it

A 2016 at that price is a ripoff.

Bargaining a price down doesn't happen much with the SS...I'm in Houston also. Let me know if you get one! Good luck

Talking to @Turbosling on Monday and he was saying he can find a sweet model for 14000. Hell for that price, you can afford 1st class to fly up there, and ride it back, and still be saving money.

You can probably trailer a sling from nearly anywhere to Houston for about $600, or so I have heard...

That was me with that info. $18,999 for a 2016 SL new. Piss fees are $55 for temporary WV plates. No BS fees.
Shipping from them to you, I dunno. PM me, and I'll hook you up with the sales dude. Low key guy, and won't twist your arm.
SL might be gone, though. That was 2 weeks ago. Might have other tempting deals, maybe.

@sssfjet... You're in Houston? There's a couple of used for sale in the dfw area... Drive it back!
Yeah, when I was looking here locally, they wanted to sell me the demo model at like $23k... I said no thank you and got mine for $17k used in California... Drove it back!
One of those was a little over priced for me and the other one strung me along till he found out if another guys financing would go through. I hope the check bounces. I hope his dog bites him in the ass.

I heard from a guy in WV that some dealers in WV are selling SL's for 18,999.00. So if I paid 19000 for a sling in WV and they charged me 1000 for freight and other pee fees, and then I paid someone 1000.00 to ship it to my house that's 21000.00. That's about 5000.00 less then msrp at a houston location without freight and other pee fees.
Hearing and getting are two different things at a motorcycle dealership.

I learned that at Mancuso 45 south store.

That's just the start. Wait until you find out how much that 500 mile service is going to cost you!

I will never find out. I do my own service work from day one. I only go in for warranty and recalls.

My 500 mile cost me $25 for Mobile 1, $5 for K&N oil filter, and a little time. I even checked more than the service manual called for. I've found the dealerships near me not only to be a ripoff, but the mechanics to be hacks. I have two Harleys in the garage, wife's 2005 Super Glide Custom, and my 2012 Road King. Hers is at 55K miles, mine around 24K. I do the work on those, I can do the work on this.
My SS has 13 months on it, and 17,500 miles. Runs way better than the day I picked it up. I was going to get the extended warr, but I'm thinking now I'll just do it myself and hope for the best.
