Well I had begun my new bike pricing, however I have decided to hold off for a while check out these upcoming 09 prices:
My jaw dropped, I was expecting an increase but not this much
09 ZX6R RRP $17895
09 R6 RRP (Next Shipment) $18k approx (Can get current shipment for 17.5k)
I stopped looking after that.
So If you are in desperate need of upgrading at the moment, grap an 08 as the first 6 months of 09 look pretty pricey.

$500 really isn't that much of an increase. Particularly with the monstrous Tax Cuts we'll be getting.

For whom the bell tolls
09 zx9r is a completely new bike so a price increase over the last model can be expected (im sure it's come down since 07) - as for the R6, it a 2% price increase - ouch!

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

Yep - what rips your panties more is bikes like the CB1300 that could be picked up for $13k are now $15. Exactly the same ride other than a different colour option.

Ok, Im not sure what some of you are working on, but I will explain in more detail.
Current Zx6r can be had for 15k, when it was first released in 07 it was 16k. The new model is 17.8k. I see that as a significant price increase.
R6's, have always been pricey however there are a small number of 09 early shipments for around 17.5k, but the next shipment will be over 18k. BUT previous to this a new R6 could be purchased for around 16.5k (maybe cheaper), again I see that as a significant increase.
If like me you generally upgrade bike every 2 years, you will notice a distinct difference in changeover price.
2nd hand prices will increase however not immediately.

Exchange rate hasnt helped, was a cross rate of about 68 then went to 50 now sitting at 58 ish, I expect it to go down as low as 40 in the next 12 months, and if that happens expect a lot more than $500 increase.
We brought some cover so could hold our prices infact some went down, but next year expect to be paying a hell of a lot more for your gear and bike habbits people.

Sounds like a good time to buy an Aprilia SL750 Shiver...

Indeed, I will be looking at the Shiver, KTM 690 and maybe something else?

The Striple could be an interesting place to look...
Indeed a head-to-head comparison of these three would be "interesting".

Hmmm, those are the three I am contemplating.
