Just seen this deal at kestrel honda for the non dct model...

http://www.kestrelhonda.co.uk/pages/offers/adventu...

2.5k deposit £187 a month over 3 years with final payment of £1250.

I'm tempted, anyone else got one on this deal?

That's one tempting offer. More than I wanted to pay monthly (by £40 or so) but tempting non the less. Pity they can't lift the final to make the deposit or payments a touch lower. Cheers for posting though, it's an option.

It is tempting isn't it? I've since been made aware of a few issues however with the new AT, the most concerning been the wheel spokes badly corroding after only a few hundred miles and dodgy sticking switch gear?

It would be good to know if any owners on here have encountered any of these problems?

Usually those deals are just examples of what is on offer. It should be easy enough to add another 6 months to the term and reduce the monthly payments. Just call them up an ask.

Whilst I dont own one, I did take one for a test ride last month and did notice how badly corroded the spokes where on the demonstrator I took out, appreciate it may have seen more than its fair share of salted roads but it had only done a couple of hundred miles, if I was a new owner, I would have been disappointed anyway.

Quite a few people have obviously taken this deal up as I've seen quite a few of these on the road now. More than I expected to.

Honda do some amazing 0% deals, this dealer in particular has some very good deals.

Ive been looking to upgrade the scooter - I can get the Forza 300 for £100 a month


Even better they are doing the CR250 at just over £100 - maybe I can start some green laning!

I'm quite tempted by the CRF250...however you can get one a couple of years old with 6k miles @ £3,100.

My Fireblade's on Honda's 0% PCP. It'd have been rude not to.
