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?

I would go in offering 40% off list on a 2009. Here is a link to a list of sale bikes from one of my local shops, they are offering 30% off most models right now. This is the start of the sale season and I think this year there will be a lot for sale.
