what do dealers pay?

[Louwai]

i dont know for sure in australia butr in the usa they pay just under 10000 usd
so with the current exchange rate that makes about 11,000 aud
definately they are making huge profits here.

Don't forget the AU Gov charges Import Duty & GST which would be an additional 15% or thereabouts (approx $1600)
So that would bring it up to around $12k or $13k
+ road freight from the Suzuki warehouse to the individual dealers. probably around $300 to $500 per bike depending on where they are & volume.

Still makes for a good profit tho.....
