Depends where you are at I am in Chicago and bike prices are falling like an old ladies _______, (sorry). If you have the spot for it the best time to buy is the end of the season people dop not want to put them in storage. In the spring prices will be higher because we are all iching to get in the wind.

well since SD is like sac you can ride most of the time all year long.. sure there might be a week or two where it rains for a few days but thats about it ... the prices here tend to stay high but usually around nov, dec or jan is when you can find good prices because people need money

I'm in central Cali, there's no such thing as cheap bikes, but some times good deals just pop up, doesnt really seem to matter if it's winter or summer, you just got to be ready to jump on it, because if you say well I'll have the cash tomorrow, there's almost allways someone who's got it today.
Also if your buying new, often the best deals is on a last years model , for example, if teh 08's are hitting the floors, try to get a good deal on an 07, because once the 08's are out, that 07 starts losing value.

Or buy it in Oregon and truck it down in late fall/winter... if you're hitting the coastal highway anyway... just make sure you make a good buy!

Absolutely not! I disagree. Prices spike just a hair as christmas gifts get purchased. I talked to a friend at a local dealer and he says October and November are bad months, but things spike again for Christmas. January is usually a terrible time to be selling a motorcycle.
