New one

Anyone fancy a brand spanking new VTR? Shame about the colour!

Wouldn't you love to be let loose in Padgetts. They unveil all sorts of NoS bikes & kit all the time. :thumbup:

Spanking, eh?
More than I usually pay, but.......

I have to say that at that price, with a nitrous oxide kit fitted it's a bit of a bargain.

:wtf: You never cease to amaze me. How we manage to swerve down a tangent from a NEW OLD STOCK bike to some American pouring NOS into his bike is amazing, and slightly weird. Gotta love the weirdness.

have you seen the price of an r1 now????
2010 big bang model, nothing new (so far) for 2011...over 14k on the road, whereas the new zx10r can be had for just over 8
i was told nobody will actually pay the full price for an r1 (too fkin right lol) but kawasaki will not allow retailers to discount further on the zx10

i know what id go for if i was in the market for a litre 4.
same as mike, i went to mmc in st helens for breckie & browse last week & couldnt believe the price hike on virtually all jap bikes... apparently its because of the weak yen :roll:

another bike ive been loking at is the mv brutale... last year the 990s were going for just over 6 grand for the 09 model, now the same bike (zero miles demo which hasnt sold) is marked up at 10k, with a 2010 990 at just under 16 grand!

i can see the used bike market booming at them prices.
