This raises interesting business questions: in the future will ThorUSA-the-national-distributor punish a dealer who undercuts ThorUSA-the-internet-retailer's price? With excess inventory in the warehouse, will ThorUSA-the-internet-dealer undercut ThorUSA-the-national-distributor's local dealers? Time will tell.
The bikes are a very good deal right now. Sales price IN a shop can vary. Demo bikes, group sales etc, but normally not advertised discounts. It is always good to work directly with your dealer for service, information and more. There are many details that get lost in flat-screen presentations.
