You get a lot more people biking in the summer, therefore bike tend to be cheaper in Autumn/winter. They tend to get a bit more expensive as you start to get nice weekends and people start to think about riding again.
The NSR is probably less likley to be affected by thesee fluctuations because people tend to buy them more when they're 17/when they've passed CBT. Big bikes are more affected because they are more likley to bought by 'born-agains' who probably won't want to ride in winter.

I use a bike as my only form as transport and don't have any problems riding though winter... a decent jacket & trousers should keep you dry enough.
