I have noticed some dealers putting the price up on some of their motorbikes, used classic bikes.
Now then, the thought of, "If it doesn't sell at the cheaper price then why would they think it will sell at the dearer price".....greed?...following a market trend maybe?
My thoughts are..."the competition" dictates the price at the moment, NOT the "what can I get for it" or the "open to offers" of the past.
Good luck to them.
New bikes are different, they are controlled differently for pricing.....
But...Honda are now selling a state of the art modern 750 twin for £6999, The 750 Hornet.
£500 cheaper than the Yamaha MT and £1000 cheaper that the expected price of the Suzuki.
I think Honda are on the ball with this, they realise that people are skint, not just with x-mas happening but with all the shit that is happening around the world that dictates our price hikes here in the UK.
Fuel costs (inc heating) most notably.
I doubt I will be buying any new bikes this year (he says on Dec 17/12/22) or probably next year but glad to see some manufacture seeing some sense with their pricing.
Gee.
