Honda drop prices to draw customers. Price slashing is murder. Price massacre.

That's got to be scary for Honda, when they have 2007 model year bikes still on the floor going into 2010.

Starting to sound like the late 80's/early 90's all over again.

Now I wish (really wish) I had the finances to take advantage....

Me too, if Honda had a motorcycle I wanted.

I loved motorcycle shopping in the 80's. I like getting a new motorcycle that was three years old for 1,200 dollars.

    The '07 VFR would be a wonderful bike, especially for the price.  But shopping for one, you'd still take the depreciation as soon as it rolled off the floor. 

    Hard to get a good price selling a used '07 in 2010 or -11, even with very low miles..... if you were to buy such a bike, plan on keeping it until you've ridden the wheels off it.

   I never buy bikes thinking I will sell them before I use them up, so that's a moot point to me; but it's one to consider. Buy cheap, sell cheaper yet.

The .9% financing on the CBR1000 sounds really good -- as a 'mature' adult, I could probably afford the insurance, etc..... wonder if this applies to the ABS equipped models, as well?

The Interceptor is a pretty nice looking bike. If you slapped a touring system on with the 2,500 bonus bucks you still get you'd have a really great tourer.

My dealer has removed the prices from their website. Super secretive.
