Not compared to Yamaha (at least in the UK), they're more competitive now but it the past they've priced themsleves out of the market here. The WR250R is a perfect example of that and there are others.
Ok, after a shit nights sleep the pain still hasn't gone , and it's fecking raining, and I've got to sit here and wait for two parcels to arrive, and we've ran out of Honey Loops !!!
sorry , I went into @Clive mode for a moment there ...........
There seems to be a lot of interest in this bike. The Wongs are getting better and betterer at making motorcycles. If the figures are to be believed it's 25kgs less than a T700, so why can't the Japs do that ?
I went through a lot of this when I had to sort out my father-in-law's affairs after he passed on. It was made even worse by the fact that more than half his assets etc were still in Italy. You have no idea what bureaucracy can be like until you deal with Italian authorities
I think I'll wait until the celebration of his life thing in Spring/Summer 2024 that they talk about . It seems that he didn't want any fuss over his funeral .
I have got my Ducati ready for winter. I have brimmed the tank with 105 race fuel and slathered the bike in GT-85. It is under blankets and a cover now and will stay there until April.
I've just brought my jacket in from the garage for the winter , it felt a bit damp when I put it on yesterday morning. It could be worse , @Marcel is probably digging himself out of a snow drift right now
