Vaquero price

chucks1911 · 04-07-2011, 08:30 PM

As I was passing by a local dealer, I noticed a Vaquero outside. I hadn't seen one in person yet, so I turned around and went to check it out. He ended up having 4, 2 red and 2 black.

They were marked $16,500. The boss said that he would "make me a good deal". The 19 year old female "salesman" told me that to get better than $15,500, I'd have to talk to the boss. While I'm really not in the market, I thought that was kind of high.

What kind of prices are you all seeing on them?

The boss told me that he was thinking about Demoing the one that was outside. It was already tagged, and had been ridden. I told him to give me a call when he did it, as I wanted to ride it.

Retail for $19900.00 here in Canada - and our dollar is higher than US now!

Thats about what I'm seeing here in Arkansas. I looked at one last week at a dealer in Bentonville ( Home of Walmart ). Yep there high. I really like the looks of the bike but don't know if I want to spend and extra 3G's on a fairing.

So it would appear that $14,000 to $14,500 is where the "sweet spot" is on these.

When you buy on Ebay don't forget to figure in shipping cost and dealer prep. dealer prep can be whatever they want to charge you. I have seen it as high as $500.
I talked to a dealer who advertised on Ebay and he said the bike I called about he would sell me for $6,200. I asked if that was out the door and he said no, out the door with the extra fees would be $6,950.

You're getting more than a fairing for 3G's. 1700cc's, 6 speed, cruise control, AND a fairing and sound system, plus full instrumentation.

The dealer in Gadsden had two when I was down last. Think they were in the high $14,000 range. I took pictures of the bikes as one was black and the other red. They were sitting side by side on the showroom floor.

mobandy78 · 04-08-2011, 09:03 AM

I just saw a red one at my local dealer. I didn't ask about the price, but I did take a few minutes to look it over and sit on it. If it wasn't for that ugly red color and my lack of funds to buy a new bike, I'd probably have ridden it home right then. ;)

kawgirl · 04-08-2011, 09:58 AM

If I remember correctly, Ron Ayers, the dealer here, has $16,500 on the one they have.

Amen on that bro...

After close consideration of lots of pic's. . . I still prefer the look of my '06 1600 gone Solo/Darkside. I also like that its already paid for. But lets get back to the price. Including mods I have spent over $18k on my '06. The new 1700's are already packing some of those "extras" stock. Anybody have Dyno results?

Id like to know how they justify those prices here.
When I was shopping for my bike a few years ago, the prices in Montreal were about $3500.00 cheaper than in Toronto.

**jestephens** · 04-09-2011, 09:03 AM

I'm already feeling better. I have been seeing $17K as the price around here.
Now I know to look a little further from home when I'm ready to buy.
