The white pre reg RR I mentioned in P,boro for £13.5k is an AL9. Apparently they get discount from Suzuki for demo bikes, though this bike has never been ridden.
I seem to remember the reason given for the big rise in Jap bike prices a while back was weakness of the Yen. Don't know if that's still the case. The world will be in a recession early next year, it will be interesting to see what happens to new litre sports bikes supply and prices.
£500 less than the one I found, and an AL8. Don't know if that seller is a broker? White offends my eyes though.
I did think about having a white one painted, but it didn't work out much cheaper. Don't like the blue forks either.
