Global Moderator sorkyah Posted November 20, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted November 20, 2015 I would love to know why they are still selling the 2015 models at the same prices as the 2016s Was thinking about picking up an fz for my dad... been calling around locally as well as surrounding states... Everyone I've spoken with has the white (the one he wants) for 6500-7000 depending on theirs current incentives. You would think a 2015 model would drop a bit in price now that the 16s are out One dealership has quoted me 6900 otd(out of state ttl) Maybe its just me bu i still think the cost should be quite a bit lower ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwpowere36m3 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Maybe demand is still high… and '15 are sitting on the showroom, no waiting to receive. Everything dealer I talked to this year when I was buying my FZ-07 said they were super hot, sold quickly and they weren't getting "enough" of them from Yamaha. Plus are there any color differences '15 to '16? Maybe some prefer the '15 colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakusaizou Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 FZ-07s sold very well this year. I got mine for $6700 OTD but had to wait for Yamaha to ship one earlier this spring. The other 4 dealerships wouldn't do it for any less than $7500 OTD and they were all gone by the end of the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattonme Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 give it another 20 days especially if your state has annual inventory taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmilannn_ Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I got mines less than 3 weeks ago at a Norcal dealership. They wanted $8500 OTD for Rapid Red FZ-07. I really wanted this so I settled with $7800... could have gotten it lower but my other bike was down and needed one for commute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its just me bu i still think the cost should be quite a bit lower Well considering the only real difference is the colors, I don't see why they would discount them. I imagine there is still a market for people that like white and (barf) red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekkid07 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I just paid 7300 otd for a 2015 in white in southern california. I emailed the 10 nearest dealerships, and one offered 7600 otd, so i asked the others if they can beat it. Eventually i got them down to 7300, and no one was willing to beat it, only match. also got 20% off my next parts/accessories purchase. This bike will be used for a cross country trip: socal to florida, florida to nyc, nyc to seattle, then back down to socal. Hope this is helpful. Ive never pirchased a new vehicle before and this thread def helped me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pabogala Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 ok, so here is my story which I think is pretty cool. In 2014 I really wanted the FZ-09 but my dad and my friends insisted that it was too much of an engine for a beginner like me so I did not buy it. A couple of weeks ago I go to the dealer in Amarillo to buy some parts for an ATV we use at work and found out that the FZ-07 existed and asked for prices and information, dealer price was 6,990. I got in craigslist and find this post about a FZ-07 located in Oklahoma City and asking price was 6,000. Started texting and found out it was a chick, she dropped the price to 5,500 in Cragslist with only 670 miles in it and in mint condition. Closed the deal in 4,800 for a 2015 black graphite in perfect conditions and with only 670 miles. Let me know if someone has made a better deal.

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted February 5, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2016 Wow @pabogala, that is a great deal. Now we just need some photos. I think the 07 is a much better beginner bike than the 09 would be, but it is still not a beginners bike. If you are careful with it you will be fine. I have been so far and after over a year and a half I am not even close to wanting something more powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been so far and after over a year and a half I am not even close to wanting something more powerful. And I agree, I am not new to riding motorcycle though, my dad a and brother have touring bimmers and I lived in Guatemala, a country with a lot of mountains, bad roads and crazy traffic and used to go out here and then with their bikes, I did some dirt bike too and know the basics but I am taking one step at a time... I am waiting for the basic motorcycle course to start Feb the 20th and reading "proficient motorcycling" I have not even gone for a ride until I pass the course and read a little bit more of the book but thanks for the advice, I will post pictures here in a bit.
