Yes it is cheap, but I think i'm going to buy one locally which is a 4/2012 plate for $6450 ex GST and it still sits under the $6500 capital asset instant write-off for small business which starts on 1st July. The extra 12 months in build date is worth it for the $300 extra (the 2011 is a 7/2011 build). I'll buy it unregoed and resister it in a few weeks which becomes a running expense not a capital expense.

The intent is to use the bike as a commuter to places where I do work, so it'll be mostly a business expense. The odd bit of personal use here and there may occur, but not so much at this stage.
