New to Riding from Plano, TX =)

Just remembered that I am starting my MSF course on Friday evening at 6pm, so I won't be able to make it out to the Diavel unveiling at AMS to meet you all.  Hope to have a chance to get to meet you all soon!

Good luck to you during your MSF course. I didn't mention this before regarding your comment of riding faster versus slower, but what MSF teaches is the importance of control for riding slower (like the really tight low-speed circles I continue to practice in my driveway) which comes from developed clutch/throttle control. I get the feeling you'll really enjoy this course.

Thanks for the well wishes! Completed the MSF course this past weekend and passed the written exam at the DMV this morning.  [moto] Time to do some shopping now!

Anyone have experience with purchasing bikes from AMS?  Are they pretty fair when it comes to pricing and not trying to throw on extra fees and charges?

Thanks,

Jasen

Congrats! [moto]

I've never purchased a bike there (tried but they were consignment and the seller wouldn't budge) but I know Marty pretty well and he always seems fair plus the bike you are looking to get is one of their best sellers so presumably there's more play for your "rock-bottom" price.  What you are willing to pay is a matter of personal preference really so whatever you do just make sure you're happy.

Congrats to you Jasen. Now the fun part begins.  [moto]
I didn't purchase my Multistrada from AMS, however if it tells you anything about them I get all my mods there AND I'm planning to purchase my next bike from Marty. And I didn't harm any other dealers while typing out this response. Honestly, I'd find it hard trusting any other bike dealer than AMS. Give Marty a visit once you're ready.
I'll be looking for you at an upcoming group ride.

I've bought two Ducatis from AMS.  They are fair with their pricing and negotiations.  If I'm in the market again for another Duc, they'll be at the top of the list

That's just 'skrat's opinion.  We have bought a number of bikes from them with great experiences.  If you stop by talk to JC.

Where to get your bikes service, that is the never ending question.  I can't comment on that.

Don't buy from Plano!

Congrats!   

I bought my Hyper from AMS.  Marty was great to work with: very low pressure and very helpful.   

I didn't have a good experience at Plano, but your results may vary...

  Third strike for Plano & they're out 

To be fair it was about service not sales but I'll not inconvenience them again by trying to spend my money there.  Too bad too, they are close by

I've bought two at AMS and have no complaints.
Good group of peeps there IMHO.

AMS is good but waaaay overpriced on parts. My bike was recently backed into by a salesman at work. Parts qoute from eurosport $1800, from AMS $2300. I did it all myself so thank god no labor qoute and i got my upgraded parts for $1100. Sales wise i think ur fine.
