Default OTD Pricing

Just reading the boards the past couple of weeks and I greatly appreciate all the advise everyone is giving, have helped me get a firm starting place on what price to pay for a new bike.

Anyway, I'm thinking about getting the M50 after a long time away from riding and I have gotten one low quote or $7K OTD (TN has 9.25% Tax) and 10% off any accessories that I buy. I then was able to get two other dealers to match the price but no one is willing to go any lower. The MSRP is $6750, which seems to be what a lot of people are saying that should be the OTD price. I offered to buy the bike and about $690 of riding gear for $7500 OTD and they said no, I'm I being unreasonable or should I just wait them out. Is the high sales tax going to mean I should expect to pay a bit more than MSRP?
