new/used bike pricing

hey folks I just got my permit and now I'm in the market for an R3. I've been searching on FB marketplace but the prices seem kinda high to me. I'm in the PNW and see a few bikes that are around 4k for like a 2019, which seems kinda high to me. I also see some in the 3-4k range but they often are kinda sketchy, seen multiple listings where they say the previous owner reported the mileage wrong. Just wondering what's a good price for a used R3 these days vs a new one. Can i get a new one for under MSRP? I know dealers add some setup and destination charges but I'm thinking if I can get one for under 6500 OTD then I'd be happy.

I know people don't recommend getting a new bike as the first one, I'm planning on keeping this for a long time and want to make it a track bike eventually. I understand it will get dropped at some point (probably even on the first day i get it lol)
