It is me or are 2nd hand bikes becoming really cheap??? 
I was a bit bored at work the other day and flicked through to the sports bike section of the bike trader - fek me you can a buy a minter K5 600 on a 55 plate, un-molested example with 1700 miles, FSH on for £3,950!!! 
Or is this because of the "recession" we are currently in?
It's a shame the aftermarket parts aint dropping in price! |

That is a billy bargain ! Bloody hell! Go any buy it 
I think its all to do with the way the economy is, cars are going cheap aswell. I am trying to sell my integra type r at the moment, last year it was worth probably £7k but now i'm only really looking for £5500-6000. It sucks but hopefully (for sellers) it'll start getting better but if you are looking to buy, now is the time to do it  |

The £800 srad's are buckets, you only get what you pay for unless - your A- a really good haggler or B- the owner is desperate to sell.
I'm a really good haggler LOL
but you's are right about the recession, people are tightening there purse strings and due to the over populated market everything is becoming cheaper.
The housing market on the otherhand will explode again within 10 months or so, as builders are not building as much but our population is still growing at the same rate, so there will be a shortage in housing. |

| I sold my K5 600 with 2000 miles on it for £4000 at the start of this year so its not 'that' cheap in my opinion. I suppose it depends on how much you can get knocked off that though. |
