I have one of these, 2007 bought at 3 months old and 500 miles.
Came with 21 months BMW Warranty etc for £3995 (discounted by BMW from a RRP of about £6k)
So in Dec 2007 it cost me £3995 and for that I get a well built capable offroad bike, Fi which is road legal and can take me on road or offroad with relative ease................in my book £4k was a fair price
Currently I'm without a Trials bike, but have owned 4 of these in the past
That is a 2005 Honda 4RT Trials and wished i'd kept it
To get an equivalent bike, a 2008 - which could have had a hard life, second hand prices are between £3500-£4000 (on a bike that had a RRP of the same £6k new)
I know they are completely different bikes and the Trials bike is singularly focussed, but I can't see the value of £3500 for a nearly 2 year old bike, which is very much single purpose. I know there are cheaper Trials bikes, but the only one I fancy is the 4RT
So for £3500-£4k .......................I cannot really see the VFM...............can you??
VFM must have some bearing on it for me
