Hi guys & gals

thinking of changing bike , been around a few dealers today
question
would i get a better deal now summers here or wait for winter
i know prices are cheaper out of season but does that meen i will get less px for mine

your thoughts as allways greatly appreciated

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

what you looking for ? not likeing the R6 anymore ?

yea love the R6 just considering really

fancy somthing with a bit more mid range not so frantic maybee

on the other hand saw a stunning repsol fireblade

maybee too much bike after only a year of riding thou

the 6 doesn't have to be ridden frantic all the time, it can be ridden at other speeds too you know

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.

So guys been looking around , just browsing nothing serious

looked in mags , papers etc some good deals futher afield offering delivery , bbut not sure of buying unseen second hand bike ,

any expeirence can't find what im after in local dealers

thanks

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

It pays to take your time and get the right bike ...
