Anyone looking at buying a new bike or tyres etc get them quick.
Ktm are increasing their bike prices by 22% at end of Feb and Ducati expected to rise by 20% along with Michelin tyres.
Pirelli have already gone up 6% as of 1st of feb with another rise likely. All the the other bike/tyre manufacturers are likely to follow suit soon.
All due to low sterling value driving up inflation.
Also told today by a mate who works for an oil company that pump prices are likely to rise soon. Fuel going down at a slower rate than sterling so the materila cost is rising to suppliers to the point where many pump retailers are selling at cost or a loss on some fuels currently.
And you all thought low interest rates were your friend. Damned if you do, damned if you don'r ehh. :dunno
