    Not many bikes for sale....

    Have noticed big downturn in advertised secondhand and new bikes for sale. This is in relation to windowshopping, killing time on the phone browsing trademe...
    Mostly looking at KTM 1090 Adventure R, Husky 701 endure, ktm 690 etc....

    Anyone else noticed similar????

    More motorcycle accidents could mean less bikes to sell or less people to sell them

    I bet what's happened is two group rides were doing the same loop circuit, now they are stuck in an infinite loop trying to keep up with one another, just absorbing wholesale any other bikes coming into the region.

    Living costs have crept up but wages have stayed the same. Less discretionary income to spend on "luxury items" ?

    Probably be selling mine shortly. Redundancy notice given this week. Asking somewhere between $4500 and $5k I'd imagine.

    I have no money this week, so the lack of bikes for sale pleases me.

    Otherwise I would be depressed about the things I would like to buy but can't.
    Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987
