Over priced at £2999.99 ?

I think 3k is a little to minty for the market its aimed at- 17 year olds.

I 'd say knock around £3/400 quid off to help with the insurance.

[Guest]

Yeah im with you, a tad expensive, looks smart though for a 125, the designers at yamaha are bob on.

I think its reasonable.

[j4ff]

i think its a fair price.

More bhp than the cbr.

More reliable than the Aprilla RS

If i was 17 it would be on my shopping list.

[Foz]

i think its a great price!! the shadow i bought new 2 weeks ago (also 125) was £3200

[cyberwolf]

i wouldnt pay that not when you can get a 750 for £3600

[j4ff]

not at the age of 17 you cant

[Foz]

not at the age of 17 you cant

 

vaid point, if like me Drewster is gonna keep ot for a couple of years, whats the harm? there is really no point in me getting a bigger bike till my full license matures 2 years after ive taken restricted access, so might aswell keep the 125

I sat on one at the London MCN show. It was nice, but the price is overkill in comparison to the competition. There is also one thing that I can't get over with these 125 sport bikes - They are so bloody small!

If you are going to have a 125 for ages and don't mind loosing a ton of money - go for it!

[Foz]

thats why i didnt get a sports bike lol i cant be doin with small bikes, its why i got a cruiser

[Korben]

Pretty much what others have said.

Knock £500 of the price and I think they would sell more.

[Guest]

I wudn't pay that for it, but it looks good.

[rob]

Looks nice and if i was 17 would defo want 1

older and wiser now and way too expensive

[j4ff]

CBR is only 3-400 cheaper.Aprilla is 300 more expensive.

Its 2bhp over the cbr is worth the extra let alone how much better than the CBR it looks and isnt the RS over the leagal bhp limit anyway?

[TC]

whats the insurance going to be on that at 17 years old

Nice bike though

This conversation constantly comes up with our client. In my opinion new Yams are way overpriced in the UK, especially new models. However, everyone will realise this and they will be heavily discounted in a couple of months' time. Wait and watch...

[rennie]

i think it's overpriced, but i'm not 17

does look good though
