I'm all for consumer savings, even love the hobbiest element.

I remember a time when you brought a bike on it's condition, didn't matter what age it was or what model year, but now, given the "leisure" status of motorcycling, i can buy a 3 year old bike with 10,000 miles on it for peanuts .

More for your money, yes please.

Cheers Mark.
