Like the title says, got a great deal. $8,250 OTD. I highly recommend Southern Powersport Honda in Chattanooga Tennessee. Ask for Calvin and telling him the guys from NY sent you.

If anyone needs it the number at Southern Honda is 800-959-5432
Definitely a good place to buy new bikes. I deal with Kyle Downey, tell him Johnny T sent you and he will tell you how terrible of a pit bike rider I am.

I loved the 17 CRF450 that I rode and was totally comfy in like 5 turns on it. Super fun bike.

Man, we got stuck in the worst traffic jam ever on I-81N. A long 14 hour trip turned into 21 hours of hell.

They have '17's as well. R and RX. We did buy 2 so 1 may be a little bit more.

I just bought a '17 kx450f here in california. I came off a 13 kx450f, followed by a '15 350sxf.

This '17 bike is awesome. If you are a kawi guy, the 16-up bike handles sooooo good. Plus it has a typically great kawi motor. It drops off after 9k, but that can be tuned easily. Handling on this bike is just so great!!

I sent the tac forks out for spring comverson though. I have been running my mx tech spring converted psf forks from my '13 bike.

Southern Honda has been the lowest priced dealer in the south for years. People come from all over to save money. Local dealers hate them, they will trash talk them, and tell you a bunch of BS to keep you from going there, it is all lies. They just can't match their prices because they are so low. They are smart enough to have the lowest price, make less profit, but sell a lot more units, and make a lot more money doing it. Go there on a Saturday and there is a line of people waiting to load up their new Honda's. American Honda loves this dealership!!!

Wouldn't happen to have been on Monday after the eclipse? I got caught in that crap Monday, a normal 45min trip took me 3hrs.

How muchare you spending on the spring conversion ? That puts me in Honda price range I would assume? If I were to go that route.

What are these dealers making on bikes?

Seems like a lot of the good riders in our area growing up "leased" bikes for something like $1,500/year
