Red face It's Time!

Okay,

I gave the dealer my credit card to show I am serious, and hold a black C50 until I get into town on Monday. I figure I am in a good place since he can now smell that the sale is within reach, but I have actually not authorized an amount on the card and can pretty much walk away at any time.

Accessories I am needing and/or thinking about are:

Helmet (full face)
Jacket w/armour
saddle bags
Headlight & tailight modulator

I have spoken to a different dealer in town and he gave me an OTD price (bike only) of about $6,900 (he doesn't have a C50 in stock and doesn't know when he will, otherwise he might have my business).

So here is my question: How do I negotiate this?

What is reasonable to ask for? What is dealer cost on the bike?

I am looking for as much detail as possible here so don't hold back. And I thank everyone in advance for your helpful advice!
