Bird in the hand. . . Playing the long game is all very well but cashflow is king so you need to have a spread of quick and slow money. The more the finance will throw you straight away the more you will pay for it.

The shop get their money straight away. Including a kick back on the interest. They don't give a shit how ya pay for it. Finance term means squat to them.

Cool, now I know what cottaging is, & yes, you're probably correct.

Richard Pollock (Mule motorcycles) is on the record as saying that motor is good for 95RW HP. He is not known as a bullshitter.

Like everything though innit: speed costs money: how fast can you afford to go?

I can afford to reach 200mph ... I choose not to ... (I could pay cash for a ZX14 brand new )

1) I realize I would probably die on a bike that fast (I'm a old speed freak and on the open roads speed freaks on very fast bikes don't last long - I'm happy with my Bandits).

2) I'd rather spend $35grand on a new boat

3) My wife wants a new car before I can have another bike ..

I'm British and I've never heard of it... Maybe you have to be English

Maybe you are to young.
It was popularized during the 1982 Falklands Conflict coverage, they had to Yomp. The unplanned forced march was not planned. The top brass had planned to use Helicopters.
But some Argie buggers blew up all the helicopters on one of the freighters (11 helicopters) so they were forced to Yomp all the way over to the other side of the island.
It stands for your own marching pace.
I understand in true British style they whinged all the way, fuelled only by strong tea and thoughts of Princess Diana. On account of the untropicalness of the island no British solders succumbed to sunburn.
I can't remember how far it was but it was in full kit with ammo likely well over 30kg over hard boggy hilly terrain in near freezing conditions so it would not have been at all pleasant.
Edit it was 90km in three days with 36kg.
