New Suzuki Inazuma 250 shown off

But it is way over priced, 250 cc is not a bad size bike for someone that has been riding for many years and wants a second bike just to commute, but not at over 3 grand.

A small bike like this should be doing in the range of around 90 to the gallon these days what's this manageing to do?

Half the price and I might be tempted, especially as it's a chinese bike.

+ having to cover the dealer's obscene business rates, skyrocketing utility prices, and the inflates UK wages of people who have to pay those same swingeing taxes on everything that they buy = rip off Britain.

Buy a CBR600F in UK, pay £7,300.

Buy it in France, pay €7,790 = £6229.

How's that common market working out for us?

Pass your A2 tests on a 35kW NC700 then get an 18kW 250 with worse fuel economy?  I doubt that Suzuki will be beating buyers off with rusty chains.

There have been low powered Chinese 250s available in the UK for years, such as the Zongshen 250 GS, which could be had for £1500.  Seen any of them around?
