Damn that's a good price for a brand new Concours!
Good luck with getting the $300, I had a price offer on a 17 and was seriously thinking about going the two hour drive and buy the bike, I just happened to look at cycle trader and they had lowered the price $500, what did i do? I drove there talked to the sales man and told him I saw the price drop, he said well the price I gave you last week is the best I can do, I walked out and bought a 16 at another dealer. I wouldn’t reccomend a dealer in Petaluma,Ca.
Question:
Was the price given to you when you originally enquired:
1) lower than the listed price minus $500?
2) higher than the listed price minus $500

The price advertised was $500 less the the price advertised when he gave me a OTD price.

I keep a lot of tabs open on my phone. I was just going thru and closing some of them. One of the open tabs was for CycleTrader. It was still open to the ad for my Concours I bought back in December. I thought it was odd that the ad for my bike was still up, so I refreshed the page. When I did, the price dropped $300!!!
There was a link for "see on dealer website" so I clicked it. Sure enough, there were the pictures of the bike I bought, still advertised for sale on their website too. Again, listed at $300 less than I paid.
I'm seriously thinking about going in and asking for a $300 refund since it is still list as for sale and at a lower price to boot.
Here are the links.

I sure hope no one else buys my bike!!!
WELL.... personally knowing the owner, Pete, and knowing how he has extended to us some very excellent pricing on KPP extended warranty for many years now, I still have to ask this of you....
what makes you think that since you purchased your bike in DECEMBER, that a same year bike (even tho yours is pictured, and may be used by him as advertising for any of that same edition) can't be lowered by $300, after 3 MONTHS...
seriously?, he would rather sell at lower price, anything in his inventory, and rotate stock, to insure delivery of new product... $300, on an already good price you got, shouldn't be an issue... don't complain, Pete is a super good person, and if I've ever seen a fair dealer, he is the epitome of A+++++..
\
so what is the complaint?
just don't go on a rant to him, and associate yourself with COG, and or this or the COG forums... because I've worked with Pete to get the lowest price for KPP for many years, and he is very trusting of our group... so insulting them, and placing us as your "pals" won't go over well... just saying...
in other words, don't ruin a good thing, for your personal agenda...
here are the people that have taken advantage of Ultimate's help, for over 7 years...

thanks in advance,
I paid $14k+ for my '08 ABS model on 7/7/07... so don't whine... but I did get the first on in Va., and one of the first sold in the USA.
By the way, anyone that is interested in a new 2017 Concours needs to sweep this one up quick. It is one of the lowest prices in the country. The $300 you will save over the price I paid will help cover a good chunk of the shipping if you are not local. You can't have mine if this is still the ad for my bike tho. I'm not give mine up!!!
If the bike was $10,500 one day and $10,000 the next day and he wouldn’t cut me the $500 break why would I buy it?
Nope, still bypassing answering the question, are you a politicianIf you can’t understand I doubt I can make you understand!
Was the OTD price he originally quoted you 2 weeks ago (or whenever it was) lower or equal to the newly advertised price with the $500 discount?
If it was why do you feel entitled to a further $500 off the OTD price?
If you can’t understand I doubt I can make you understand!
I didn’t feel intitaled, but I also didn’t have to buy it for a higher price then advertised!And I didn’t!
No the previous OTD price he gave me was $500 more then what he advertised as I said Already!
If you can’t understand he dropped the price $500 after he gave me a price but when I asked for the lower price he refused to lower the price then I can’t make you understand , NO he did not have to give me the lower price and he did not,but also he lost a sale !And to top it off I ended up buying the bike I actually wanted and save a couple grand! I am done here!
I think you missed my intended humor.
