Notice how it stayed the same in 79 whereas a lot of other bikes had a price hike so they must have realised they had pushed the price a little too high.

I remember paying the £1995 for my K2 GL1000 in 1978 which was a lot of money to me then and I was on a good wage so £2750 was the realm of rich kids.

I don't have a calculator handy but with inflation, I wonder how those prices look in today's money?!

That's the Moto-X bike "Red Rocket" 250 two stroke twin shock with all red engine too, I first raced on one of those.

Nice find Julie, I can remember looking at most of them in local showroom and not  being able to afford on apprenticeship wages.

Laverda Dave:
Strange the CB250RSA is not listed in 1979 considering it was a UK market model?

andy120t:
£18 for delivery. Fabulous.

 I was speaking to the courier who collected my recently sold CB900FZ and he said he was pretty much collecting /,delivering all day long. it reminded me that I used to just ensure that my breakdown cover was up to date then get a lift to the sellers and ride the 'new' bike home....assuming it would work.  Or go as far as it would then let the AA take the strain if there was a problem. Buyers these days just use delivery vans.... there's no adventure anymore!

Bryanj:
That £18 delivery is what Honda charged the dealers and they passed it on
