yamaha need to sort out the prices on new bikes

[AyJay]

You do wonder about Yamaha, sometimes. I know they're the only Jap bike company without a big parent behind them (Honda and Suzuki - engines and cars, Kawasaki - er everything from nuclear subs to steel works) so I suppose they have to make the bike business pay every year, but a 4k difference is colossal.


Suzuki are always the cheap and cheerful bikes (bar GSXRs) so you could say that the tech on the FZ1 is worth another grand. You could argue that the better finish and durability is worth another £500, maybe the Bandit is over supplied, but 4 grand. Mmmm. No.


And how they sell FJRs at the moment, I'll never know. It's up there with the new BMW 6 price wise.
