  • Had real issues finding suitably priced used big-boy bikes, and the prices are hardly going to fall now it’s getting mild.

    I think a lot of people are dreaming with advertised prices.
    I've followed a few on auction and they don't meet the reserve. So don't assume listed price is near sale price or market value.

  • Indeed, that’s just typical in any market though. Lots of private sellers have a warped view of value, mostly to convince themselves that there is such a thing as return on investment.

    Yea I saw a lot of that too @Chak - the Blade Trade Centre is local to me so I use them and Budget Bikes for a gauge.

    You can get a Triumph Daytona for less than 2 1/2, but you’re paying over 3-4 for anything that you can ride comfortably.

  • If it wasn't for the GF wanting to ride as well, I'd be rolling on a Daytona right this here moment without a care in the world.
    Alas, situation dictates a bike good for two, which doesn't limit options for fun bikes, but the bloody prices do when you start having to consider all other equipment.

  • Indeed, they only do 2000miles and don't want to loose any money!
