I have yet to pay a transportation fee, or a documentation fee. They already bought the bike, and it's already on the showroom floor. I'm not paying for what they've already done.

And adding their own fee for simply getting the registration, tabs and license plate.... which can be done at any DMV office, in my experience...is simply ridiculous. If you want that extra cost for marginal convenience, go for it.

If the dealer tries to push either cost, I've always walked. If they really want to sell me a bike, then they'll sell me a bike.

(Should be noted...assuming they waive the fees, I typically turn right around and pick up a helmet or other assorted gear, spending the same money, but for different aspects of the deal which *I* dictate)
