Ninjette price up $400: Honda CBR250 up $3000

I wanted a 250 that'd pass slow cars on expressway, so I was looking at these two. Last year they had same sticker price of $4000. A few weeks ago in Memphis area, the only new Ninja in the area was $4400 new asking price, and a Honda dealer quoted $7000!!!!
I got me a new ninjette 4 days ago.

Well the Honda asking price was about right (http://powersports.honda.com/2011/cbr250r/options.aspx) but that OTD prices is RIDICULOUS!

Congrats on the new Ninja!

I heard about outrageous dealer markups on the CBRs in places that weren't getting many at launch, but I figured the demand would have come down by now

The bad thing is, someone will pay it and think they got a good deal.

Thats crazy. I paid 3500 used with 500 miles but the Orig owner paid 4200 out the door and they were very hard to find in GA at first. The ones that were going for higher dollar were the ABS versions. I was in the market for a ninja but saw the CBR and after riding, liked it better for where I am. In the city. I still want a ninja though and am going to be looking hard around nov dec, when someone is in need of some crimmus cash for da kids.

I love the 250's and all but you'd have to be crazy to pay that. More than crazy.
