Quote:If I remember they were selling them off as following spring gen 2 came out . How Yamaha can justify over 10k for essentially the same bike as the 2006 model is beyond me.
I bought mine pre reg in 2004 for 6k. It's pre reg because the dealer has registered it to make a sales target, if they hit their target they get a bonus. But the bike is no longer new and any buyer will be the second keeper, so having made their money on it they discount it to shift it. A one grand discount seemed fair enough compensation to me for buying a second hand bike with zero miles.
As for the current pricing, it's simple.
2001 I pound = about 175 yen
2006 1 pound = about 220 yen
2012 1 pound = about 125 yen
Yes that Suzuki deal is amazing. God knows how they do it.
