The Ocala Honda motorcycle dealership is doing the same thing. I looked at a new $3,400 motorcycle (yes, it's that cheap new MSRP) and the salesman said it's $200 for shipping, $799 made up dealership fee, and a yet to be determined amount for dealer prep. Honda USA only says the $200 shipping fee is legit, as the bikes arrive assembled and need minimal set up.

I understand supply and demand, but motorcycles are toys and they had plenty on display. I will remember these mark ups when the supply lines return to normal and these guys are begging us to buy motorcycles at 20% below MSRP.

To add insult to injury they refuse to service Honda motorcycles that are over 10 years old. So one could pay 28 grand for a Goldwing and they would not fix it after 10 years.
