Super Inflation Or Not

As the spiritual predecessor to todays Street Twin, this baby cost £190 inc tax, in todays money thats £3,909 (according to the ONS). A new Street Twin costs £7800

Average weekly salary was £9 (converted from pre decimal) in 1953

So 1953 annual income was £468, the bike costs 41% of your annual income

Today average annual income is £31,000, a new Street Twin is 25% of your annual income

See the pointless crap I come up with when I get bored
