Used bike prices have gone up a lot in the U.K and I expect the world. However, I've always found the U.K full of cheap used bikes.
We are a motorcycle owning nation. Although the weather stops many people using them. So there are a great deal of low mileage older bikes for good value.
I would always go for something older and good quality than something newer of questionable quality.
For £1000-£1500 you can easily pick up a 10-15 year old high quality Japanese made bike.
eg. I just bought a 2006 Suzuki Bandit 1250S for £1500. A truly supurb motorcycle. Very strong and reliable.
For the same money I could have bought a 2-3 year old Chinese/Indian bike and it would already be falling apart and ready for the scrap man.
