My local dealer has a '10 1200 base demo model with 3,700 miles. I rode it, fell in love, etc. However, they still want $14,000 for it.
I shopped around for a while and found an '11 base model with 4,100 miles, plus $1,300 in accessories, for $11,000. It wasn't a demo, however. A rich guy bought it, added the stuff, rode it for a year and traded it in. The dealer got it back cheap so they were able to sell it cheap. You can find good deals on demo's, but in my past 6 month experience you won't find a killer deal on a demo. The dealership has too much money in it.
As mentioned above, Craigslist is your friend. Use searchtempest.com to search CL cities near you. Also, Cycletrader.com and Ebay are great places to find deals.
