Anyone seen any figures for the last couple of months?

I haven't seen a single new sports bike on the road yet. But have seen loads of retro bikes.

Don't most sportsbikes go straight to track these days?

No idea. £15-20k is a lot of cash to spend to use somewhere where iits not covered by insurance.

Wish I had that sort of dough to burn.

That is a bloody good spot actually, I've seen some adventure bikes (GS types) but no sports bikes!!

Found the stats. They make sobering reading.

Bike sales down 14% on this time last year. Sportsbikes down 26%.

I didn't realise there were that many bikes on the road.
