Shocking Zuma price...

There's nothing quite like a new bike. You pay for the privilege, but you know how it's been treated, from day 1

  and it has been run in correctly.

Mines been thrashed the knackers off (with a little TLC in between)

Also I dont think its a bargain basement bike at £3400 after all its only a 250cc

But there's more expensive 125's about, and the 250's from Honda and Kawasaki (not available in the UK now!) were much more expensive...so I'd say the Inazuma is a bit of a bargain, especially with the discounts that dealers will do...and that's gonna hit the used values, unfortunately! My understanding is that the main reason Suzuki has the bike built in China is to keep costs down and aim for the budget end of the market.

...I am happy with the Zuma BUT as a matter of interest asked him what he would give me for the Zuma its only 13 months old he went outside and returned offered me £2100 tops bloody hell told him to   
When I returned home was a bit pissed off so rang another dealer down south and he offered me the same think they are taking the piss or what.

Plus yours is red so it's got to be cheaper!

Yes I agree but you cant class the Zuma like a Honda no where near as well finished.
I agree now the price is ok but I paid £3400 can pick one up now for £700 less

I know what you mean about the standard of Honda's finish, I guess that's where the extra money goes. Did you buy when the Inazuma was first released? It's going to be painful in the wallet if you pay full price and then they start discounting soon afterwards, unfortunately! 

[scoot]

Yes I did pay full price but I did expect it.
I have this months copy of Twist & Go with a full list of bike prices and the Zuma is the most expensive except Honda a Kawasaki, I think that £3400 for a next step up moped is expensive.

With a new model, most folk will have to pay full price.

It's only later that the dealers will offer discounts, to attract buyers
