Best value big naked out there at the moment ?
What's for you, the bargain of the big super naked class out there ?
At times it had to be the KTM 1290GT when they were throwing them out at £10499.
But i think it's REALLY hard to beat the Yamaha MT-10 at the moment in terms of power, performance, electronics, stance and value for money

£7000.... That's not a ridiculous figure at all is it !

£7k... for a four year old 2nd hand bike with 12k on the clocks. They were what, £11k new?
I dunno seems about right to me.
I'd much rather have a slightly older Tuono V4 for that money.

Re: Best value big naked out there at the moment ?
I guess... but if you think of what the £7000 gets you in terms of performance compared to say a £17,000 V4Tuono, then you've got to imagine it's insanely good value.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 9:17 am £7k... for a four year old 2nd hand bike with 12k on the clocks.

You've never been tootling along the by-pass in your car when a V4 'prilla on an open pipe comes past at full chat.
Wanted one ever since, someday I'll get round to owning one.

It deserved more than just a click....They are an itch I will scratch, probably for next year.
Re: Best value big naked out there at the moment ?
I agree, bangs for bucks it's good value....... but you can still get good deals on 20my Tuono Factory's to bring it down to less than £14k. And the Factory's natural competitor would be the SP, rather than the cooking MT10.
If I were in the market for a £7k naked, said Tuono wouldn't be on my radar though.

Rode one in France. Cramped, tight, twitchy, tricky to ride, small.... Didn't get on with it i have to say... Also ridden the RSV4 which was nowhere near as good as the 1199 i rode before it.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 9:25 am You've never been tootling along the by-pass in your car when a V4 'prilla on an open pipe comes past at full chat.

The MT-10 is arguably the best bike i've ever ridden, rode Trickys and fell in love with it within a mile.

Are second hand bikes suffering from COVID Lockdown inflation in the same way that many other leisure items are?

Not from what i've seen. I check prices/bikes of different types from 899s to MT10s and 1290SDR, they all seem to be around the same money you'd think.
P/X prices don't seem lower than you'd expect either..

Classics and 80's two strokes shot up in price ridiculously for a couple of months, but then dropped down a bit and have now settled at about 10-20% above what they were pre-covid.
Friends in the classic car game said the same and other luxury goods seemed to go up as well.

If you can put up with only 135bhp, £7k will get you my late 2015, 12k mile 1200 Monster. I might even give you £250 back.
its up for Sale now.

I've not been up close to a new shape Speed Triple but are they really that small? I can see the Street being a bit little but is the Speed?
