In Australia they are ( all in aud)
1199 - $26,500
1199s - $32,500
Tri - $42,500

If u bought them from Fraser (arrogant bastards) they don't move on price. I say that cause I the way they treat their customers and they were like that back in the days of 1198.

the bike sitting on the fraser showroom floor in the crate has a price tag of $35, 500. Must be on road cost, which by law in Australia has to be included. I'm going to check my contract I signed to see what the exact figure for the 1199s

the way the guys explained it to me at dealership was that In Australia we need to put "On road costs " in the price, which includes Insurance, registration fees, Tax, etc so you can just drive away once its bought. In the states your price doesn't Inc Tax, registration etc. Please correct me if Im wrong.

That is an '11 M3 in my 'dream garage.' But it sounds you have upgrades on your toys relative to mine (M6, and S w/ABS, ha). I got the M3 sedan (anathema to some, I know), but that with the 1199 are more than I need really, a lot more. However, if money was no object, Tri, still with the same M3 though, I like the smaller car.

I'll contact you if I ever happen be in Vegas with my bike, thanks friend.

The M3 is an awesome car and IMO handles a lot better than the M6...defintely part of any dream garage. But back to Ducs...the Tri is beautiful...but for me my first Duc has to red. Bottom line...anyone with an 1199 (regardless of model) will have a pretty awesome garage!

In the US each state, city and county, sets it's own tax and you pay according to where you live not where the bike is purchased.
The dealer may collect a portion of the tax but that is subtracted when you go and get your bike titled and registered.

I'll pay for the bike and any fees the dealer tacks on when I get the bike and then I'll probably have another $1500 (just a rough idea) to pay for tax, title, and registration once the paperwork is finished about 3 or 4 weeks later.
I pay that at the local department of motor vehicle. Tax and registration can vary greatly from place to place. I have one of the lowest where I live at 4%. but our registration is much higher than most states.
My plate can be over $1000 and in Texas for example, the same registration might be $25. (But their tax is probably a lot higher)

So no, we do not pay tax (at least not all of it) or license or insurance at the dealership.
We also have to pay a significant ownership tax every year that stays pretty high for the first five or six years of ownership (it drops as the value of the vehicle drops).
I recon my yearly ownership tax will be pretty close to the original tax number of around $1500.
Private Insurance is also mandatory on every vehicle and varies by company and individual. On a superbike ins. can be $250 a year or $2500, it's up to us to find the best deal.

I don't know how it works in other countries but our vehicle cost alone isn't the whole story. The way it's paid most of us don't consider it a part of the vehicle cost, just taxes that we pay.

So your dealer is right, I'll probably have another $2000 to spend after I buy the bike to make it legal to ride and that $2000 will be a slightly decreasing fee each year.

Around the same amount in Orange County...apparently the freight is $895 and they are charging a set-up fee of $795. I'm surprised the freight is that high...but it is was it is. Also, I've never paid a set-up fee for any of my other bikes. Is this normal for a Ducati?

27790 Euro for a Pani S with ABS. About $ 37K.

I don't know---from the looks of it, though, not much needs to be done. Mirrors and fluids is all. I'm actually buying from Newport Beach, so it looks like you and I are competing for the first ones. Let me know if you have any luck getting them to waive the setup fee.

That "set-up" fee isn't mandatory. They simply know they can get away with it (supply & demand). Many other dealers just charge a $99 set-up fee. And a more common standard freight charge is $495 to my knowledge. At least that is what I'm paying. So my total is $21,651 for Standard ABS (with 9.1% tax and title) All relatively close given the initial $19K price.

That's just plain price gouging. They are doing it because this bike is hot right now and they can get away with it.
In 6 months you'll be able to buy with no fees and maybe even a bit off the msrp.

I don't want to make my own deal public but my dealer is very good to me.

You'll have to let me know...since I'm sure you'll get yours' first...I foolishly waited until last week to place my order

Would be helpful if others in Southern California (or other locations on the West Coast) could let us know what they are paying for freight and set-up. Thanks.

I went to a local dealer today and they informed me that they charge $495 for freight and 450 for prep.
