Moaning about being robbed....


... by Dickturpin!  :pokefun :lol :lol

But yes, you're right. We're a soft touch, really. To arms (or handlebars, maybe?) fellow bikers?

I was once told that the most expensive fluid on the planet was printer ink....maybe air filters trying to get in on the act!

That's the dealer price for OE. Can be bought a lot cheaper on ebay  or go the K&N route. Its not just an age-thing-compared with price for air filter for my car-its def. a rip-off! I query prices these days & have learnt to haggle-which doesn't come naturally to a lot of us in this country but im learning fast :lol

Yamaha parts for the Fazer 1000 and 600 seem ridiculously priced to me. I sometimes have a look on the AJ Sutton website just out of interest. I'm a sucker for trying to keep fixings and fastners original and the price of some of them are shocking. Brand new Fazer brake calipers work out at about £600 each  :eek That's nearly two grand for a set  :eek. I don't need any but who would ever pay these prices ? How do they sell them ? Most people are obviously going to go the 2nd hand route if they need anything like this.

I wonder how much it would cost to build a Gen 1 Fazer 1000 based on new parts prices ?

Makes you realise what good value a complete bike is.
