Or is the 'asking price' generally non negotiable! I'm looking at buying a motorbike from Colemans Suzuki.

OP are you refering to a Trade me AUCTIONlistings by colemans! If so then most likely the answer is no. You place your bid and top bidder wins the auction. If its a classified listing/bike on the showroom floor then YES you can make an offer to buy at a cheaper price.Them accepting your offer or not is up to them.

Cash blah. just costs them money to bank it thats all no deal breaker anymore, finance through them they will look more favourably on the offer you are in the database and they can upgrade your vehicle over the years etc. I have known them to re-imburse the repairs they have done on a vehicle at the dealership if they upgrade on finance etc.

Thats crazy! Why would you finance at the extortionate rates they charge instead of paying cash!

Of course you can. Your success will depend on what you are buying, If it is a model which is "sale-proof" and they have stock you will do well, alternatively, if it is something with a wait list, not a chance.

I guess that depends on where the "cash" is comeing from. Cash saved up I couldn't agree more. Cash borrowed --Best to do the research first.
