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)

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 :lol:

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

So £2400 + £3600 in monthly payments + £6500 to own a crappy V-Strom, that's £12500, you could buy a decent bike with that.

You'd have to be a proper wanker to even consider one.

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

That's my guilty secret,right there. I'd love a go on one just to see if I really am a wanker. :thumbup:
