Default Price of an SV...

I was just browsing the Suzuki website and noticed that the price of a new SV has risen to £4900! This seems strange to me, the price of new cars is dropping like mad but Suzuki have increased their prices! Has the demand for motorcycles increased so they can get away with charging more? Euro vs Pound?

Discuss.

I've heard that one before.

EDIT: I was browsing and fell into a GSX-R600 that magically started up by a set of keys that happened to be in my hand and when I rode away, I accidently left my SV key there

Not the Euro, the Yen

Pound is worth much less in Yen, therefore importing bikes from Japan is more expensive in the UK right now

Not at all.
That's really expensive for a bike I can buy a new fiesta for just a ton more ....and have 0% finance on top. How much were they before the hike?

RRP is one thing, the price you pay is another.

In September they were £4699 but they ran a £400 cash back deal for a few months so effectively £4299.
