How To Buy A New Motorcycle from a Dealer at RevZilla.com 

damn son, that beard is really coming along...

I just saved a bunch of money on my motorcycle insurance, by outrunning the police.

This is how you buy a motorcycle in a perfect world, what this video didn't mention is how the dealerships are going to try to screw you over with steep freight setup and documentation fees.

Always ask them to throw in gear. They’ll almost always say yes if it’s reasonable.

When I call revilla and try to negotiate a price, revzillz does not budge. So I walk away.

Pretty good advice.. I will say that dealers are not likely to negotiate much on any new bikes, even left-overs. What worked for me though was going through cycletrader and getting a leftover from a dealership a couple states over.. the bike was out the door $2k cheaper than any other dealer I talked to, so even with shipping I still saved at least a thousand dollars. You have to be patient but also ready to jump on a good deal if you see it.

You guys are creating really high quality, well-scripted, and story-boarded videos. I could easily see this programming on mainstream TV. Kudos to the video production team.

Definitely some good information in here for any rider looking to buy new. Thank you for consistently delivering great content.

These are great videos! I have over 30 years of experience, 15 of which was as a motor officer. You guys do a great job with these videos.

I remember going to a local dealership (the only one within 50 miles) and I asked the guy what the typical otd price on a Ninja 300 and 650 would be and he said the Ninja would be around 8500 and the 650 would be about 11000 I just left it and didn't look back.

You guys do a great job of explaining the in’s and outs of riding. Great content!

This is an excellent video! Complete and thorough, it's just what a new motorcyclist needs before they actually go through the process! Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to the other vids!

Very well made and concise on what buyers need to know. No BS! Subscribed.

Been thinking about buying my first bike soon. This video helps alot. Thank you

Out of all the videos I have watched, this one has been the most helpful. Thank you for putting all of this together. I’ll be sure to post a pic of my purchase when that happens.

Man, you guys are awesome. Thanks for the tips. Good to know I didn't miss anything when I went to the dealership last Saturday.

I agree about leftover models. I went with the prior year model ‘18 GSX-S750Z with TC and ABS. MSRP $8800 and It was marked down to $6900 plus TTL which included a rebate. Brand new 0 miles and no real differences other than color options compared to the 2019. I jumped on the deal and couldn’t be happier.

Thanks for putting together this series, guys! I bet the comments posted here will have even more "real world" knowledge in addition to the videos. Buying your first motorcycle can be a daunting experience, and if these videos help put more riders on the roads, I can't thank you enough.

As a licensed insurance broker and 35 years in that business, you nailed it! You have my endorsement and recognition of your knowledge and acumen! Well done guys!

One of the most important and great videos from Revzilla...excellent job guys!!!

This was an extremely helpful and informative video on the process of buying a new motorcycle! Thank you for sharing. Subbed.👍

Thanks for the video, RevZilla ! The content and the quality is amazing!

Hands down some of the best production videos on RU-vid I’ve ever seen.

This is really helpful for the first-time buyer. It raises a lot of considerations and options in the buying process I'd not have thought of otherwise.

Im buying my first motorcycle very soon and I have been looking for something like this for a while. Awesome breakdown of the process with a few great tips and tricks thrown in. I have seen videos from dealerships on how to buy from them, but it isn't the side of the equation I wanted to see. This answered so many questions. Cheers Revzilla. Mitch. Melbourne, Australia.

Pretty cool to see my local dealer on this channel. I get my bike inspected here and plan on buying my next bike here too. Funny enough they’re using a CB500F (my current bike) and I want to get a CB650R from these guys!

again you guys are very cool. I like how straight to the point y'all and how crisp and clear the messages are.

I love the production value on your videos!

walked the other day into dealership to talk about ninja 300. 4200 bucks list price ended up to be 5500 in a flash. 10 min later walked out of dealership. Got pre-owned ninja 250 for a fraction of that cost instead.

Couldn't have been made at a better time. Thank you for the post Revzilla! I bought all of my gear from you guys and will now be purchasing a bike with this guidance in mind. Thanks for supporting new riders!

thanks just got my first bike today and man am i happy. this video with help people for years to come.

Fantastic video. Very well done and packed with a lot of helpful information. Really appreciate you guys. You just got a new subscriber right here.

I love revzilla but this advice is great way to get screwed on the price.

Nice video. Only negotiate with the out the door price. Assuming every dealer plays games with the sticker price and the OTD price.

Going to be buying my first bike soon and extremely excited, thank you for the tips!

Holy cow looking to get my first bike and saw that Boyertown, PA on the wall. I'm from Reading! Glad I found this channel!

Funny as this is the dealership I'm stopping at on Monday to look at some triumphs

OTD price should always be MSRP or close to it. If they can't do that, you're in the wrong dealership...

Great video, Glad you chose to highlight Martin Moto! In 38 years of riding, and living in 3 different states, Martin is the best dealer around. How can you not love a dealership that offers you free water, coffee and ice cream! Their demo days are always a good time.

Revzilla is amazing. I’m just starting out and y’all have been so helpful!

Hot tip, have a large deposit... it gets you a loan and a way better deal in the end. It also gives you less to pay off, and you will have a lower fortnightly/monthly payment.

Martin's is pretty awesome.

The video content you guys upload is so great that I bought an R6 and still sitting here watching how to buy a motorcycle. It's information anddd entertainment😎

Great video on purchasing a motorcycle and info can be used for purchasing an auto too. Thanks!

Never ever ever ever ever tell the dealership what your bank loan offer is.

After you know what bike you want first step is to check out cycle trader to look for out the door prices in your area. take this info with you to the dealer and try to get that price. also make sure that the second go you go talk too understands you negotiated an out the door price and will not accept any additional charges other then taxes.

Thanks for this video. Imágenes planning o buying my first bike. So far, you guys have given me a good idea of what and where to buy and how to pay for it. Cheers.

Super high quality video and I've learn so much thanks i'm buying the new R6

$1000 saving /year in insurance. Jez... do you have to sell your kidneys to insure a bike in US?

Please never ever finance gear. If you need to finance gear, you can't afford a bike.

This channel has a great deal of respect for their viewers.

Very balanced advice thanks. I can agree with most of what you mentioned. Good choice of bike too. Location of dealership is important too, especially if you are using their technicians. GAP insurance I thoroughly recommend. My T120 Black was totalled by some old boy in a hospital car park where I was working at the time. With GAP and my other insurance I was able to go right out and buy another T120 without taking a big hit. Where I live Bridge Motorcycles, Exeter, England, are just the sort of dealership you are taking about, offering great customer service. Polite, friendly and informative. The technicians and service personnel I literally trust with my life.

I've been to that dealership a few times and without getting into details, their service department kinda sucked.

go to dealer, give them cash, drive bike home.....pretty simple

This was a super helpful video! Great jobs guys.

You guys are awesome you had me when I watched the rebel 500 and the 300 vids

14:05 Damn that's a Street triple R my bike!

This video is freaking great and posts at a good time for me. I am a new rider and I am 98% sure I'll be riding on two wheel motoring within 30 - 45 days. Some of the things you talked about won't apply to me, sadly, as I now live in Canada and not the US and things are a bit different up here. Well, in some ways the same, but different. I do have a small refundable down payment on a G310R, but I'm also looking at a Triumph Street Cup as a consideration beginner bike. I cannot test ride because I don't have a full motorcycle license yet, but I am legal to ride until such time I take a road test to get my full license. And I can, right now, buy any bike I want and ride out of the dealership on it. I'll be paying cash; I'm no spring rooster and I've purchased cars and a home, electronic equipment, I have credit cards, etc. So I have credit. And yes, good credit. :) I've visited my local BMW dealership on many occasions and my local Triumph dealership too ...I was even back there today just looking again. Both dealerships know the deal with me and I have not been pressured. I agree 100% that is it a great idea to just visit and chat with the men and women who work there. If they have the time, they love talking about motorcycles and will give you their honest opinion once they hear what you are looking for, your concerns, etc. Hell, I'm even considering just getting a 330cc scooter just to get my street savvy and get a motorcycle a year from now. And the scooter dealership, Piaggio, has been great too. Anyway, time will tell. But again, this is a great video with lots of good advice. Good job Spurg! Good job indeed. :)

Thanks for the info. I learned some stuff.

Thanks for the great video. It'll come in handy when I venture off into the no man's land of the dreaded dealership.

Hey I used to work there, great dealer.

Something on this that really ought to be bolded, underlined, italicized, and 80-point font: REMEMBER DEALER FEES! Dealer fees, prep, unboxing, etc all cost good money on new bikes. For example, I was really set on a Versys-X 300, which was about $5,600 with ABS. After unboxing and dealer fees, the price was OVER $8,000! Because of that price, I got "screwed" into my 2012 DL650 (which is a better bike imo). Ended up being a positive for me, but that's just something you have to keep in mind.

Your channel is very informative man! I've learned a lot.

This is video that helped me feel confident in buying my first bike ! Thanks guyss

Sure finance your pipes and grips, so you pay interest on them for the duration of the loan. Great financial advise Revzilla, if you are financing the bike don't finance add on parts as well. Save your pennies buy accessories cash, so you are not paying interest on them. How much money did the dealer pay you to give that great financial advise.

this is fantastic, but where did Lemmy run off to?

Great informative video. Thanks for the tips. Safe travels.

Thank you, this has been super helpful.

Hey guys I don't know why but not all of your videos show up for me. I have the notifications turned on and have since that became a thing but I don't get notified when a new goes up from you guys. The last video I was notified about or had in my sub box was the one about Modular motorcycle helmets from a week ago.

1:30 he saved around $1000/year by switching to geico.

Thanks for this video very informative I had no idea on what to do

Thanks for the video, very helpful!

Financing a depreciating object is unwise on two accounts. You're paying an inflated price for an object that is quickly losing value. Buy used, in cash.

Don’t get GAP or finance gear with the loan!

Very cool and straightforward! Kepp up the good work!

Great video thank you for all the information 👍

How to buy a new motorcycle! Okay folks, let's start! Step 1. Have money St..... OOF. Rip :(

Hey Spurg, did you actually buy that bike???

Thank you that was very informative I can't wait to get my first bike 👍

A very nice job on this video . Very thought provoking ! Thanks for sharing

What about if you want to buy it cash? Can we say the bike price is $8,999 and we over the dealer $8,000 out of the door cash ? Please give me some info how to buy a bike cash what do's and don't? Thanks

Guys, That dealer... OMG; In Argentina they just sell the bike and know almost anything about it, we pay for example 30k dollars for a ducati monster 1200. And the en insurance is just for third parties cover only, becouse of the robberies

I too was hit by a car. A little old lady ran over me, drug me down the road and finally stopped to see what was lodged under her car. Had a little surgery to sew me back up and spent a month or so on the couch. While recovering, I threw a blood clot so back to the hospital and spent a good 6 months on blood thinners with the possibility of never getting off of them. In the end, I recovered with no residual effects other than some nice scars. I never fully recovered mentally from the accident and now only ride sparingly on the road after being a dedicated roadie for 20 years. Billy has offered some really good advice and tips for returning to the road but I think one of most important tips is to be a smart cyclist. Using low traffic roads with wide shoulders is a safer option and riding at low traffic times such as early morning also makes for a safer ride. And as Billy pointed out, incorporating as many visual accessories as possible is a must. I can’t understand the idea of wearing black jerseys with black cycling shorts when there are fluorescent options. And I also think solo rides are are much more riskier than group rides. Good luck to those attempting a return to road but if you want a full proof car deterrent, buy a mountain bike. 😀

Picking up prior year leftovers is a great way to save money. I bought a 2014 DL100A in 2016 for a significant discount. Brand new bike, full warranty. Saved enough $ to put all the accessories I wanted on it afterwards.

Worst advice ever. Don't waste your time in a fucking stealership getting jerked around by some douche. Do all your research online, watch videos and browse through some motorcycle forums to get your information. Once you have narrowed it down to which bikes you're interested in, schedule some test rides. Once you have locked in the bike you want, CALL all the dealerships within a 50-100 mile radius and make an offer till you find a dealer that will give you the best "OUT THE DOOR" price. Then go to the stealership with cash in hand, inspect and start the bike, ensure all fluids are topped off, get the clean title in hand, load the motorcycle onto a pick up , van, or trailer, you can also purchase the bike and come back and get it. If the dealer starts pulling some shit on you, walk right the fuck out while fanning yourself with the cash you brought. When you get home you can shop around for insurance and take care of your plates and registration. It's 2017, use the internet and phone, you can scour several states worth of dealerships within a few hours right from your home.... The idea is to spend the LEAST amount of time possible inside the stealership. If you plan on financing, try to hash out the details over the phone.... or show up to the dealer with a few friends, never go alone.... Also, don't be scared to say "no" and "I'll think about it" and go home and sleep on it for a few days.... Never be rushed into agreeing to something, be patient....

i pay 1800 a year for a 2016 zx6r. at first they wanted 2400$ but i got it down by having 1000$ deductibles and minimum coverage. My 2015 ninja 650 was only 75$ a month to insure

These videos really help out a lot. I've been looking at getting a bike to save money long term. Just trying to find a class nearby. But from you guys I now know that i want/need either a standard with high traction tires or an adventure bike due to road conditions where I live and piss poor drivers. Definitely do not want a crotch rocket lol

I haven't ridden since 92 with a 1987 -750 ninja. Bought a Versys x300 w/o seeing or sitting it and I love it. And at 5'8" I easily reach the ground.

lord have mercy i pay 150 for insurance where i am. For the full fking year lol

My local Yamaha dealership sold me a new bike then when I went in a year later to upgrade they laughed and said my bike has no value. 😑 I give my local dealership a 2 out of 10 stars. I hate them and ride an hour out of town for better dealer.

You guys are good! Keep it up!

Thank you for your great advice

How to buy a new motorcycle from a dealership? Don't.

here's a tip. stay away from ride now 😉

I am so glad there are so many people that are willing to take it in the ass to by new cars and bikes and deal with the horrific depreciation of new vehicles.

Spoken like a true salesman. It is always about the price and what you can afford. Avoid full coverage/financing on a vehicle you ride part time. I bought my latest Harley in Long Island and rode it back home to Florida during this pandemic. $3500 saved.

step one to finding a good bike: dont live in rapid city, SD

Dude lost me when he said "EXspecially"

Martín moto is actually super close to me. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Was have my trouble finding a good place

Great vid guys. Even your acting was pretty good. Revzilla is always my go to for parts and gear! :) Aloha!
