Well I just bought a bike out of state. So.... here's my story.
I was looking for a blue sprint w/ABS and there wasn't one in the western US so I looked elsewhere. Found what I wanted 2500 miles away in Ohio at North Coast Motorcycles (best bike shop I have ever dealt with). Did the entire transaction on the phone and through the mail. Saved $3,000 over the local dealer, and had the joy of spending 5 days on the road bringing it home.
The shop owner picked me up at the airport and had my bike waiting with the bags installed for free. They even tossed me a free t-shirt. If I lived within a couple of hundred miles of Toledo they are the only place that would touch my bike.
I can't comment on how the local dealer will be for warrenty work but. given how they have been on non-warrenty parts on my Legend I am not expecting too much from them.
But long distance purchase was great, except riding 8 hours in the rain through wisconsin.
