Re: Pricing ! Does this sound right ?



Robert,

I paid $CDN 14,000 for a blue '00 ST with the panniers included, but not the
top case.  The dealer (McBride's Cycle in Toronto) quoted me $400 to add the
top case at a later date.  The price you were quoted seems severely
inflated.  Price without the panniers was $13,000.  These prices are both
$900 off list.

Contact me off-line if you would like more details.

Regards,

Paul Wilson
Toronto
