Mr. Whopper,
Hope all is well.
I just purchased a brand new 2008 B-King from a dealer near San Francisco for $8,500 U.S. out the door. (Salinas Motorcycle Center. They did a great job. Several other dealers sort of jerked my chain, so get ready.) I just kept searching various Suzuki dealerships and sometimes had to search under used or 2008 models, as some sites do not list 2008 as "current" even if there are 0 miles on the bike.
It cost $325.00 to have Naber Trucking ship the bike the 800 miles from San Francisco to Tucson.
Keep searching, it's worth it!

p.s. I just had to pay AZ sales tax. Tack on an extra $500.00. Still a good deal.
