The dealer I bought my NX500 from is in Durant, Oklahoma. Jones Powersports.
I just checked, they show a 2026 NT1100 in grey, in stock. THEY DONT CHARGE FOR ASSEMBLY, OR SHIPPING. The price is the price out the door.
You could fly to Oklahoma City or Dallas and ride it home. Probably save a LOT of money compared to some other dealers.
If you need a place to stay overnight on the way home, I have a guest bedroom. Breakfast included. No charge for good friends.

Thanks, Buddy! Great riding with you. Text us on your situation.
I think its interesting how one of MY dealers lies his head off an says shipping is $800 (website says $600) and "Dealer prep" is $600 and there is a pirate tax of $200 to do the documentation,a and many states are much higher. It is clear that there are hungrier dealers out there. Cleveland Triump advertises free shipping to your door anywhere in the country.
The cost of shipping an assembled bike is pretty cheep if you are not in a hurry. I think Honda does charge the dealer to ship them the bike but I dont know that for sure. At any rate, the dealer can eat it to move bikes. If its like cars, the more bikes you sell, the better off you are with the distributor.
With my neuropathy and back and balance issues, I am in no hurry. Wanna see how hungry the dealers get. Looking at the US facebook page for Honda Nt1100 and the World wide FB page for Honda NT1100, it is clear they sold a bunch of these bikes. Right now, with my disabilites, my XT 650 and VFR are nice and light and easy to handle. 575lbs is stretching it. My XT is 470 plus tank bars and cases. With the 19 in front wheel and big handle bars and seating position, it handles like a dream. My VFR is 527 plus bags, but for some reason (low seat height?) it feels light and paddling is no issue. The 700 plus pound FJR needs to go. Frosty is right about one thing. Paddling it around is much easier with motorcycle boots on than sneekers. But you still have to be on your toes.
BTW, for our newer members, you can often buy a bike in another state and avoid $2,000 document fees.
Florida regularly leads the country in car dealer documentation (doc) fees, with state averages soaring around $999 to $1,147 and single dealerships frequently charging over $1,800 to $2,000. Other states with notoriously high average doc fees include Virginia (averages around $799) and Colorado. [

Florida, Virginia, and many other states have no legal caps on how much a dealership can charge for processing vehicle paperwork, allowing dealers to turn this into massive profit centers. [
