Hello,

To answer you question the prices don't change over the diffrent times of year, I was lucky to work in a bike dealership for nearly 4 years and the only diffrence you got was may a helmet put into the deal by the dealership.

Its the Manufacture (honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha or Suzuki) that set the prices that, the only time was when
dealers like George White could bulk buy and sale them at a loss and make the money on the clothing and Serviceing but where there is no money in the bike trade they can't do this anymore.

I would buy when you are ready to change and have found the right bike for you.

Hope this helps

If you know what you want have a good look around in the bike mags/pappers and internet you can normally find some top deals and get delivery chucked in for free. Or get a local dealer to match what you have seen some where elles.

I've just px'd my J2 ninja with a dealer, I'd been looking for ages for the right bike, I popped into GW's Plymouth on the off chance and I got asked if they could find my ideal bike would I be interested, I gave them all the details, they priced mine up and 2 days later they came up with the goods and even gave me an extra £100 on top of the J2 px price too.... bonus :D
