My son convinced me to buy my Honda, he told me to flip a coin and I'd know if I really wanted it, he was right.

For a considerable amount of folk the retail price doesn't matter,just the monthly payments.

Re: You've got £40K
You don't get a discount for cash these days. The dealer makes money on the finance commission, so they'd rather wait for someone to buy it on the never-never.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2024 9:27 pmFeck that, you can't beat paying cash at the motorbike shop.

Re: You've got £40K
It's not about discount, it's about having a big wad of cash and coming out with a bike, it's a great feeling.
You'll get a better deal using finance, the dealer makes money selling you finance.

Re: You've got £40K
I bought 7 brand new GSXR1000s for cash. Never paid more than £8500 in uk.
Cash was king in the winter months when they weren't selling anything.

Do you think you need to pay road tax for all 4, or is it considered 1 vehicle?

Re: You've got £40K
And how many axels is it for the purposes of bridge tolls, given that bikes are often free?
If they're all 250 can you drive it on an A2 license?

I actually wanted to say "will it have brown leather trimming around the upper edges of the bodywork", but I was on a phone and in a hurry to get the joke in. hey ho.

Re: You've got £40K
late to the party as usual!
Instinctively I'd probably look at 4 x 10k bikes but as thems not the rules I'll narrow it down a bit.
An 1100 Evo powered Ducati special based on a Pierobon kit:

I'd have it far less extreme position wise with ust a half or nose fairing and comfy seat!
Alernatively, a Unit Garage R Nine T as a practical daily rider.
