Stopped by Mountain Motorsports Lawrenceville today

They have a good deal on '12 R1 if you don't mind they gay bird feather looking paint job. Helmets seem to be priced fairly, in line with what you'd pay to buy from denniskirk.

I went to my dealer of choice beforehand to see what he had in stock, and he was griping about MMS. I don't know if it's just ****ting on a competitor or his statements have any merit, but he said MMS likes to get you in with a low price, and then tack on all sorts of fees before you get out the door.

The dealers that try to get you in with a higher price and that badmouth their competition are the ones to watch out for in my view.

Waverunner advertised on Craigslist for $7775. OTD price was $2850 more.

Maybe there is a built-in VAT.

I was looking at buying a Super Tenere and contacted MMS in Marietta. They had one priced low, as in blowout pricing online, but when it was all said and done, the OTD price was even more than any of their competitors.

I really hate that they bought Freedom out in Kennesaw. I've bought a couple bikes there liked it ok, but MMS bought them out and dropped the Triumph brand from their store, so no more bike buying there for me. They said they were adding Suzuki or one of the other japanese brands to the line up, like that was good news.

MMS just opened several new locations. Apparently their marketing plan is working of your other local dealer is bitching about them already.

if you don't like MMS (some don't) there is another big chain that has bought the old Cycle Nation shops in McDonough and Canton and I think the small v-twin shop in alpharetta (indian dealer). Based out of texas, Freedom powersports or something, i have heard good things about their group. Pretty sure they will add Triumph to their lines hopefully. That **** about jacking the price up when you show up is for the birds. Just tell me what the OTD price is, stop f'ing around.

if you are looking for a Yamaha, hard to beat the folks at Blue Ridge Yamaha. It's a bit of a drive, but if they have it, they won't jerk you around. Honda- Southern Honda in chattanooga is hard to beat. KTM World in Cedartown is the go to KTM dealer in the SE. Suzuki go to Riders Hill in Dahlonega (they also have most of the odd euro brands (Moto guzzi, aprilia, etc). BMW/Ducati/Husqvarna Atlanta is good to go as well. Kawasaki.. well, why would you want to buy a green bike? lol.. probably would send you to the shop in Gainesville (bought my wifes KLX140L there) but i haven't been there in a while.

Anyway plenty of options out there, it's a good time to be buying a bike, there's hardly a bad one out there!

FWIW if anyone is looking for a bike let me know. My friend and I are buying and selling.

What kind of bikes? I'm looking for 636s (old or new).

Any and everything. Mostly sportbikes but we can get CanAm Spyders, Harleys, maybe a Ducati if we're lucky. PM me with year, color and your budget.
