    I’ve a lot of years in banking and finance lending including motor vehicle financing. Looks like a bit of a quirk - the list price has been discounted down to £12,479 to almost cover the anticipated depreciation after 24 months and I’m guessing it’s assuming it’s a new or newly registered bike. On all PCP agreements there will be requirements for a certain mileage and condition at the end of the agreement (2 years) to be met and an excess mileage charge made if you go over the limit and you’ll also be responsible for any repairs for anything not considered fair wear and tear. Check the definitions of fair wear and tear and keep these handy for when you hand it back. This agreement is also interest free which means the dealer or manufacturer has paid interest to the lender to provide this facility. I’d say this contract is exceptional value for the buyer and must be designed to shift some stock. I’m also guessing it will be withdrawn as soon as they’ve shifted the stock they want to shift and then it will be gone - so anyone interested should get in fast.

    Finace isn't for me. I find it stressful. Limited mileage, they check for issues when you hand it back etc. and not actually owning the thing and using it, essentially, as a hire hike - if I were hiring I'd want flexibility...say a sport's tourer for weekends away, a retro for Sunday morning blasts, maybe even a maxi scooter for commutes (and because I've never tried one, lol).
    If I had limited funds I would shop accordingly or save up for the bike I wanted (as my son is now). We're all different though.
    Nice video, I enjoyed it all none the less and those Nortons look amazing.

  • @themightydash1714

    2000 miles a year? So if you need a motorbike, this PCP is useless. It's just a scheme to make Norton sales look good and dump old stock, Norton will have to deal with the depreciation in 2 years when all these bikes are back in dealers, tbh seems like they're counting on inflation making 13k for a bike with 5k miles on it look like a good deal down the line.

    The 2000 miles per year limit will put many people off. You could rub a lot of that off on a single continental tour. As a Sunday pose it makes sense, but doesn't bode well for Norton residuals when a bunch of used bikes come on the market in a couple of years. Not sure if it smacks of desperation or cheap PCP is the future of motorcycle ownership?

    @ian-c.01 7 часов назад +1

    Too tempting but in reality it is very restrictive.
    2000 miles per year mileage limit is less than adequate to enjoy riding a bike like this, it would be sat in the garage most of the time while you ride something else ! The petrol would go stale in the tank while it was sitting there because I'd reach that limit in 10 rides, what would it do for the rest of the year ?
    Makes no sense, you are really just storing it for them with the option of riding it now and again and paying for the insurance on it !

      @@motorbikeswithmatt I test rode one back in Feb 23 and liked it, but didn't £17k like it. Apart from anything else I found the exhausts too loud. But at £20/£20 (or even £69/£69) I'd happily invest in heavier duty earplugs!
      Too many bikes in the garage at the moment so no space for one, unfortunately. Perhaps I'll pick up a 4,000 miler in 2027...

      Your a natural for motorcycle videos, keep them going. P.S. I have also ordered a new Commando from Judd Racing, not such a bargain as yours but at £55 a month I am not complaining 😉
