Thats it- Take tomorrow off work and get to as many shops as you can in the morning- cos in the afternoon you will have to check out if the new bike really does work
If a newer bike made that much difference- you can see what you will have to do. Reckon you have about a month before the sales on 09 bikes start coming in- so get out and test ride pretty darn soon.

Wish I could take tomorrow off. Just started a new job this week and I'm burried! ( Still doing teh old job too!)
Anyway, you bring up a timely question. How much can I expect to get off a bike in the $1000 +/- range?
Seems 10% or less (right now ) is the norm unless talkign a leftover 07 or 08 then I'm seeing 15-20% occasionally. When I get ready to haggle, what should I expect on a leftover 09 ( or ordered 09 in Sept/Oct?
