I just realised I am still living in the seventies.
I wanted to make a price comparison with a few new bikes and couldn't believe the cost
1/ special 50th Commando - @16,500 GBP
2/ Yamaha R1 some top versions approaching 20,000 GBP
3/ Honda Fireblade some top versions @18,000 GBP
4/ Triumph Thruxton @ 15,000 GBP
Seems to me the only genuine British bike there is an actual bargain, but in reality I had no idea that modern bikes cost so much, and obviously the makers target owners are no longer 17 years old !
