This is to keep the local bike shops in business and is done to make sure you get a proper fit and assembly. Lets see you email GM, Ford, Toyota, any car for that matter and get it sold directly to you, that's not going to happen, there is your "other retail product".. I am sure that there are companies that sell direct but usually better deals can be had on previous yers model or through a retailer that is clearing out stock.
