Did the price for the 2000 model go up ? List for the 99 was $10,495US - 
either it went up or the dealer added his shipping cost to the bike.

All the STs that come into the US have a delivery charge that is passed 
along to the dealer (somewhere right around $200). This is not rebated to 
the dealer at a later point, so this is a real cost that affects his 
profit, should he decide not to pass it along to the customer.
