General Car Chat / Re: Price of parts
« on: 12 February 2024, 15:30:58 »I was thinking over the weekend, its been almost 11yrs since I last had a bikeOn a similar note. About 25 years ago Motorcycle News priced up all the individual parts to build a Kawasaki ZX6r.Yeah, but Quaka parts always were outrageously priced. I remember paying something like £6.99 each for some (probably) M4 countersunk for the brake reservoir, because I was desperate, and I bet that was over 20 years ago
Price of a bike was around £6,500 at the time iirc. Price of all the individual parts was around £27,000.
Istr Honda parts were even more expensive. Although theirs tended be of much better quality than the other Jap manufacturers.
Suzuki were particularly bad. Their build quality was always piss poor.
Might be different now, I wouldnt know.
