Budget 2007

They could perhaps be less if theres no windows like a landy. I cant see many people wanting to take Crispin to school in an X5 with no windows.
All that lot can afford it anyway, just ups the status.

Another way of looking at it - Basic rate of income tax up from 10% to 20%

I'm not that bothered. They have to put a boundary somewhere, and 600cc seems logical no?

I think its a Governmental/Suzuki conspiracy... Especially as the Bandit has just been upped from 600 to 650 cc

Yet another budget where the hard working Briton is penalised

i have always said that the split should be at 700cc. Then things like the Transalp, SV, Bandit, etc etc will be in the class it deserves.
