Talking buying a new bike (questions)

Maybe you guys can throw me some info before I start making major moves on buying a new bike.

How much % over cost,do they sell the bike retail at?
So I can have an idea on how low to get the bike down too.

What fees,can be cut to work out a buying price?
Frieght,Prep.. etc etc..

Getting mods with financing?
Is it worth getting mods with financing it or it just bump up the finance rate up where its not needed?
What I have in mind is just a slip on.

Lowering a bike?
I dont need it slammed,with links.I just need it so im flat footed on it whilke sitting on the seat.
Is it safe,and fine to just lowering it with the dampers in the front,and coil set up in the back?

Any info will be appreciated.

This isnt Gloveman,

Tre Thompson- If your gonna make monthly payments then make sure you get a 750 +
I know so many people that lost money on trading in there 600 to a 750 and you always dump miles when you JUST get a new bike. Dont be scared of bigger bikes. It only goes as fast as you allow it to.

And im not positive on if they released all the 07's for sale yet but i would wait a little bit after they put the 07's out so the 06's have to be pushed out. I would do this if you couldnt get a deal you could do now.

I always tell people to start with a 2000 up Gsxr 750. and im a Yamaha guy.

You been riding longer than I have,but you asked here to get either a 600 and you didnt know what a liter bike is?

I didnt ride for a sport,but I have rode longer than how old you are.

They are on the list.
Do material matter?
I have seen them in plastic,and in metal.I also heard of some new style that kind of takes the hit,then recoils?
