Honda VS Suzuki $$$

[Finn]

Welcome to my first serious post.

Just having a look on the dotcom at new bikes and not that I would buy either of these bikes now (have owned an 05 CBR1000rr before) but there seems to be a massive difference in cost between their flagship models.

Suzuki GSX-R1000 is $21,000
Honda CBR1000RR is $27,000

What? While I would be prepared to pay a little bit more for Honda quality () I wouldn't think that it's worth $6000 more.

Someone is missing the boat.

$2K of it is ABS.

And the R1 $24,000. I know which one I'd buy.

Cost of professional repaint = $3500.00

That's the non-ABS model. The ABS one is $29,450. This, according to their website.

I was guessing.

Sure they didn't mix up the photo of the 250?

Sometimes it's easy to focus on what you get immediately and forget about everything your going to need. For example a higher price may reflect a vendor stocking spare parts in NZ or perhaps a better warranty.

Agreed that the Hondas are of a higher build quality however not $6k better.

Looks like a pricing error to me as the GSXR will pull some of Honda's loyal following at that price.
