New 2012 Ebony C14 Price
« on: July 27, 2012, 12:57:03 PM »
Hello All.

I just wanted to share my purchase experience in Atlanta, GA for a black 2102 Concours. replacing a 1998 ST1100.

I called four dealerships and asked for a total Out The Door price.

All four dealerships participated.

The lowest (8 miles away) was $14,998 OTD ($13,810.44 base price)

The other OTD quotes were $15,098 (13 miles away), $15,342 (46 miles away), and $15,650 (20 miles away)

I went for the 0% interest instead of the $1000 discount (June promotion).

Costco Powersport program is 13,600 and change plus fee's. Then after you complete a survey Costco gives you a gift card for $250 which makes it $13,350.

Thanks for the heads up. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the bike as you ride it for a bit.

I'm crazy jealous!

Hi Jeff.

I like the bike.  I used to own an ST1100 and I sold it a few years ago.  I missed having a bagger and the C14 had the right combination of power and luggage capacity at a good price.  It still has one of the ugliest exhausts ever designed.

It's been quite a while since I've owned an inline 4.  I think the Honda's V-4 is smoother (more like a pulse instead of a muted buzz).

The stock tires are a bit too stable and the bike resists falling into corners.  But I knew that coming in so I am looking forward to some new tires.

I have over 1000 miles now.  The engine is a monster and the brakes are powerful.  The rear brake pedal pulses when I break hard (it's noted in the Owner's Manual, too) so in the tight stuff, I just stick to the front brake.

One really sore point is the range.  The bike could use more fuel capacity.  I am also spoiled by my DL650 which sips gas.

Get one JeffM!
