Haha oh my that is some increase.

For a 125, £4500 is quite disgusting.

"Recession? What recession guys?"

Yeah, good isnt it.
Apparently the prices havent been increased with inflation for a good few years.

A few months ago they were moaning they werent selling any, i may not be in sales or marketing, but i think they may have got a bit mixed up there.

Unless they are raising the prices so if they sell one new bike a week they are breaking even.


Nice staff at the blackpool honda though. Helpful in the parts and clothing dept, as well as down in the showroom as well. Plus a free brew machine.
If you are talking to a salesman ask them if they want a drink. They cant have one free unless the customer does. Or something like that anyway...

Sounds interesting, a few weeks back when my Dad was in there and eyeing a couple of bikes they guy came over, offered help etc and then said well if you're interested come and see me as we are really keen to do a deal at the moment...

Maybe they have put the prices up so they can do 'better' deals for them?

I have to agree with you there.

I go a fair bit as as i bought my bike from there, and they tend to put a 5% or 10% discount on clothing and accessories. Makes it very competative with internet prices for a fair amount of their stuff. R&G crash bungs for example.
