All the new motobikes Look shit now.
And £25-30,000 for a motobike is ridiculous.
And if you look back at the quality of the four Japanese motobikes and now you can't compare them, the old bikes were robust and strong
Real quality.Now it's all just plastic crap stuffed with some kind of electronics that know one needs
If we look back at the old motobikes from the late 90s to mid 2000, how great they looked back then - real GP motobikes for the street.
The new ones just look ugly, like a Japanese Transformers comic book characters.
They charge three times the price but only half the quality .
Just don't buy them,
Hi mate 👍 one of my mates has some classic bikes , B S A (A6 ) ( A7 ) & a 250cc C15 sport all 1950s all well made with only what you need , I've owned a B M W K75c for 16 years it's 37 years old still going strong , not everyone's cup of tea but it's built like a tank and works 😉 do a service for about £50 , which is what it used to be about . 😊
This comment is absolutely spot on.
Yamaha's whole range looks like a family of Transformers. Absolute shite.
I have a mint SP2 that has ten times the amount of character and good looks over any new bike these days.
No wonder 90s and early 2000s bikes are going up in value.
The accountants and globalists wern't allowed near them😆
WEF you own nothing but you be happy only if your working class, great vid
Great to see you today mate, thanks for making the trip up
Look forward to seeing you again, stay safe brother
Good to see you too mate, you organised a good event and thanks for the RB Coaster 👍👍😎
The Royal Enfields seem the best value for money at the moment and with the most character.
Great to have you back doing regular videos Jim 😁 Agree on the prices, waaaay out of my league! Still, I suppose we should be grateful for the people who can afford them, otherwise we wouldn't have any used bikes for sale 😅 Looking forward to seeing what you've bought 😃
I wouldn't even have phoned that number.
Used to be that the call was a big part of the scam. You'd call them up and get charged £20/minute and an obscene connection charge.
Aye bikes are defo too expensive. My last bike was £18k! I'm going back to cheaper second machines these days.
Decent ZRX or XJR, and I'll be happy with that.
I can't work out how people can afford these car and motorcycle payments. I know someone paying £400 a month just on car payments - and they'll never own the cars. I don't get it. My FZ6 is as good as anything on the road today and cost £2000. I'll keep it for years and just regularly maintain it. I cannot see the point in buying a brand new bike.
Just picked up my new Triumph 400 speed
£4995
Great price great looks.
Mate just down graded from my old Fazer 600 to cf moto 300 sr.. £3200 brand spanking on the road... I will miss the power of the fazer, but enjoy revin the nuts off of it 300 sr. Pick it beginning of May... Going back to when I passed my test 25 years ago.. ZZR 250 baby...👌 Fully agree that big bike are bland and a rip off..
After 20 years I got back into bikes, gsx8 s on PCP
After 6 months it was off the road with faults for 6 weeks so the finance company rejected it due to bad quality.
Got a refund thank god,never again
Far too expensive to purchase,insure, service costs was ridiculous, terrible weather,pot holes,speed cameras and average speed traps everywhere (was in Wales when It switched to 20mph)
I used to have grey imports but in the day gpz400r then xjr400r
I'd love the new zx4rr and honestly £9000 is stupid money.
People are saying it's things like bike tech driving up prices but, what are they actually adding to the bikes? TC was pretty rudimentary in the mid-00's and R&D on that (plus wheelie control etc.) has only been building on top of that research bit-by-bit over the years, so it isn't like research teams have been working around the clock for the last five years to create TC as effective as it is in its' current form. Nothing justifies the cost. But it's like everything nowadays, mountain bikes included; companies work out what's "affordable" HPI for a 5-6 year term and price it accordingly, it has naff-all to do with what it's actually worth.
I'm currently still working my way through the early 2000s bikes so by the time I consider any of the current bikes they will either be cheaper or owning a ICE vehicle was get you shot.
Evap system on the enfield 500 common problem.
Cost of Hornet unfaired 2000 model was 4,600 and in 98 my yellow one was 4200.
Everything is more expensive!
Look at new car prices and even your weekly shop.
Dont know what you Limeys have access to on the wrong side of the pond, but the Crf300L is relatively cheap here in the States, I assume the same would be true in the UK
It's the same with cars.
If it wasn't for pcp they wouldn't shift anything.
Used to be cheap transport, now we have boutiques.
I am getting back into m'bikes after a haitus of 20 years....the prices shocked me.🧐
New yes, but there are a lot of great value 2nd hand bikes around 😊
The era of the liter bike is coming to an end, just look at the raft of law and regulation which is designed to basically destroy personal transport, and the new euro 5 + which is aimed directly at bikes, enjoy it while you can 😏
dont ....I have a royal enfield of 60s vintage the parts are STILL cheap its my daily driver Just refreshing the top end new valve guides If I were to pay labor , 5 hours tops .... can pick them up for not a lot ...AND in a emt russia diid it nuclear attack ... the damn thing will still be going ....no " hi tech" electrics High tech is JUNK ( 30 years as an motorcycle engineer )
People struggling to understand inflation make me laugh.
Some of the new bikes coming out today are the cheapest they ever been the New Ninja 500 is £300 cheaper than it's predecessor, the 400 was. The KTM RC390 was £4999 in 2014 today it's £5899 today, adjusted for inflation, in today's money, this bike is nearly a grand cheaper than it was at release and you get loads more for your money, you get a lighter, better handling bike with advanced lean angle sensitive electronics, same thing applies to big bikes too, the KTM 790 Duke, with a basically permanent sale ongoing is £7000 for god's sake, you couldn't buy a hornet for that in 2000...
It's not the cost of bikes going up, if anything they are going down, it's people spending their disposable income on more shit than ever...
Yes,prices are inflated
Adjusted for inflation, my lightly used 1992 Suzuki Bandit 400 cost me $7200 in 2023 dollars. My lightly used 2016 GSXS1000F in 2023 cost me $6500. My CBR600F2 cost me $12,000 while my 2022 XSR900 cost me $9000 a few months ago. Interestingly, that makes my former GSXS1000F the second cheapest bike I've ever owned, after an 80cc 2-stroke trainer bike.
@langhamp8912 wrong country buddy...
Who can afford these bikes you said, people who properly work hard mate, bet if some one offered you a job 80 hours a week we'll paid you would say I ain't doing that, your a member of the entitled generation, any thing as long as you don't have to put any effort in to buy it , all nice things in life cost a lot of money
