One of the reasons i had heard for this from a car dealer (so take it with a pinch of salt), is that it is partially down to the COVID pandemic which has caused a massive shortage of semiconductors, leading to a reduction (or in some cases a halt) to production of brand new cars, causing 2nd hand cars to be in more demand, thus pushing up the prices
If true, how long this will last is anyones guess |
It's true.
I was giving getting a new car some thought when my shitbox was coming up for MOT, I figured the cost of buying new pads, discs, sensors, back box, etc was about £500 in parts and that's the deposit on a new car on PCP.
Then I decided just to fix my current shitbox because I honestly don't care about cars anymore now that I am into bikes. Cars literally are just a box for whatever I can't carry on a motorcycle or for truly shit weather I can't ride in. ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.

My Z200 project from earlier this year reminded me a lot of my old CG125, when it was finished. It really was very similar. Single cylinder, although SOHC instead of pushrods, cute, narrow little tank, good looking but, as a bike, vibey, very slow and horrible.
100 metres into my first ride once it was all complete, and I couldn't wait to get rid of it. It made me appreciate my big(ger) bike much more after that. That project cured my nostalgia.
Point being, if you're going to ride on the roads in the UK, I can't see much joy in a 125 (any). |
