I thought the CBR600f was good value at £6500 new with 0% over 3 years. That was the max I wanted to spend on a bike given my finances and considering it's only a hobby only for me.

Bikes do seem relatively more expensive though, both new and 2nd hand ones. I sold my 3 years old GSXR750K6 for £4700 in 2009 (a k3 which would have been 6 years old was getting round £3k). There are K6's (6 years old!) now still going for £4500 with loads more miles on the clock, 3 years later! Its down the the new bike prices going up.
