I also said in the review that I did if they had painted it in the Wes Cooley/Ice Cream Van livery it would sell like hot cakes

The Burgman 400 is still majorly overpriced and stopping me from buying. They’re offering a £1000 worth of goodies though.
Grips, guards and top box.
Not much use to me when I hate top boxes

Because it forces prices up for those who want to own a bike
This is at a time that prices are being significantly reduced by several of the major manufacturers, as you have pointed out.
PCP has filled showrooms with 3 year old low mileage bikes, so prices for new may have been propped up, but the knock on has been a great selection of very good used bikes for those who are happy to own a 3 year old machine.
The upcoming / in-progress (take your pick) recession and general doom and gloom will slow all sales further, including PCP, especially when interest rates go up again, and I am probably not the only one about to go from a ~1% mortgage rate to a ~4% one?

I have been surprised by some people who have criticised the look of the 8TT, yes, I know, one man’s meat, etc, etc, but I really like the look of it and, if I were to change my Tracer 9 GT+, then I would be looking at the 8TT and the Vstrom RE very closely indeed. All they need for me is decent cruise control.
market forces.
TBH I haven't had a bike on PCP for many years. Never say never though. Remember that stinking deal that was kicking around a while back on Nortons? Deffo wouldn't want to shell out the cash for one of those but 50p a month and give it back after two or three years. What's not to like?
The Norton
Eh ?
pretty obvious i would have thought. if it weren't for these finance schemes the manufacturers would have to reduce the prices . that way folk could afford the deposit on what we used to call h.p. then they would own the bike at the end of the period. maybe my thinking is old fashioned and i will be no doubt be corrected.Eh ?
PCP or HP, it's all finance which require a deposit so what's the difference (other than the obvious optional balloon at the end of a PCP deal)?
some pcp deals seem to offer lower interest rates than straight hp. or maybe it's the manufacturers/dealers. they seem to be more interested in selling finance than the vehicles. i personally buy with cash. if i can't afford it i don't buy it. at my age i'm better spending it than letting this shit government get it.
