[bamt]

As Rogerborg is being a little slow...

Suzuki stays in the top 10!

Good news all round, that.

Some good sales figures there all things considered, especially for Triumph, BMW and Kawasaki.

Yamaha as well from numbers but depends how many of them were mopeds.

I dare say the new suzuki deals are having a effect. Finally.

All the GSXR range and more on 0% with £1 deposit.

I'm not in the market for a new bike but if i was i'd be tempted.

£1 deposit. 47 monthly payments of £180 with no end lump sum to pay for a brand new GSXR 750.

Assuming you put down the minimum £1.

Only if you wangle a big discount as well. Otherwise you're better off getting an unsecured bank loan, buying at the real price, and owning outright from the start.

It does grab people's attention, but again long term it's likely to depress Suzuki second hand pricing (why would I pay that when I can get a new one on 0% for a few hundred more...). Not good for brand image.

[ScaredyCat]

I'm battling against this sort of thing too...

2013 BMW R1200R MU 2453 Miles - £8,995

Price for a new one...£10,250

£1,255 for new Vs 2nd user..

51p / Mile

Not sure I see the point in not going for the new one 51p / mile - I can cope with that depreciation

Lexmoto sells more than Ducati? (although the cost of a handful of those ducati's must outweight any profit made by lexmoto x10 over)

Either way seems like the recently imported models are doing as desired (from a sales POV).

[Rogerborg]

With it being Suzuki, let's see how many show up as pre-reg this month.

Yamaha are doing very well indeed. The MT line and the R3 are kicking ass.

Good to see Suzuki in the top 10. It won't last.

Odd that the Z1000SX is the best selling sports tourer. It's an old bike now.

The 07 has already crept up in price, I imagine the 09 will as well since they can't import them fast enough to meet demand.

On the other hand, they must be minting it from the YZF-R125.

Isn't it because the Yen isn't particularly highly valued at the moment. Though most bikes aren't made in Japan, the pricing will be in Yen.

[Supermoto_Fan]

A bank loan is viable but what's the best interest rate at the moment? 0% is attractive no matter how you look at it.

The 07 and 09 are the best value for money motorcycles in the past 5 years.

There, i said it.

Even though they are flying out the dealers there are still deals to be had.. £500 off list price and about £200 worth of accessories for nought when i got my 09

How can i put this.. The Tracer is to the MT what the TL1000R was to the TL1000S (never ridden either but according to publications )
