Re: What's the best deal out there at the moment?
Just sat reading the latest issue of ABR magazine and there's an advert for... Suzuki Adventure bikes.
3 year PCP deals, are £0 min deposit and 2.9% (which is the same as the last personal loan I got). There's a £500 test ride incentive (which is just a way of saying £500 off RRP).
I went online and played with the calculator...
If you put £2400 down as a deposit on a V-Strom 1050XT you could have one for £101 a month.
(You'd need to find £6.5k to buy it after three years)

Re: What's the best deal out there at the moment?
I turned down a spin on my Dad's CB1000R today.
I'm staying at their place for a couple of days and I don't have my kit. He's nearly the same size as me so could probably borrow his but CBA. Plus its naffing freezing.
Also...might end up buying one if I ride his

I think I may be sensible (for a change) and spend the deposit money for a new bike on my Fazer thou!!
Get that back up and running, should last me many more years then?

Errrrm. Yeah, errrrm lovely.
Think of say a 2003 ford focus Vs a 2021 focus. Go try 1 of each.
Then buy the new bike

Re: What's the best deal out there at the moment?
So £2400 + £3600 in monthly payments + £6500 to own a crappy V-Strom, that's £12500, you could buy a decent bike with that.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Tue Dec 21, 2021 5:56 pm Just sat reading the latest issue of ABR magazine and there's an advert for... Suzuki Adventure bikes.

Not everyone's cup of tea, but if it is that's a cracking deal.
