I suppose for the consumer it is an ideal time to buy a new scooter. It seems that many of the larger international manufacturers of motor cars and motorbikes have scooters for sale from next year’s collections at really low prices. I’ve compared the catalogue from last year to the catalogue for this year, and the price reductions are extreme. I’m not sure what has caused this, there must be enormous margins built into the cost of most scooters that you see on the road. All the same, I’m off down to my local dealership to see if I can get a really good bargain.
Yes, those that read my column will know I already have several scooters and mopeds. But I do like to keep my collection up-to-date. When I see bargain scooters for sale then it’s all I can do to stop myself from rushing out and buying one straight away.
