THE UK’S 40 HOTTEST NEW BIKE DEALS

It’s end-of-year discount season and that means it’s the perfect time to buy now – play later!

The cheapest time to buy anything is when noone else wants it. That’s a rare phenomenon in bike land – but it happens, by degrees. Remember back in 2007 when Honda SP2s were being sold off for £6700 brand new? Or how about Ducati’s Sport Classics exiting dealers for similar money? But look at them now, commanding prices not far from double those bargain basement blow-outs. Of course, for every mildly eclectic tough-to-shift potential future classic there are a hundred more bikes that won’t soar in value, but are still great buys. And as the end-of-year seasonal sales softening inevitably creeps over dealers in tandem with the darkness of Autumn, it’s the perfect time to sniff out a stellar deal, even if you’ve got no intention of racking up the miles until next Spring. End-of-line models, political uncertainty, end-of-year dealer targets and the winter blues; they’re all conspiring to drive down prices and interest rates.

So we’ve sniffed out the hottest deals available right now, and served up a tasty smorgasbord of temptation. Go on, have yourself an early Christmas.

You know it makes sense.
