XTreme Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 Those fucking dickheads at Towca Honda rang me up today to tell me that now they don't have any CRF300L's available! However......if I want, I can pay a deposit and go on a waiting list for the next batch that's expected in Jan or Feb 2024. Fuck 'em......when I do change the CB it'll be for something that actually exists in the showroom, not for something that only exists in a parts bin in Thailand! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are taking the piss, why would anyone put down a deposit for something that may or may not arrive at some point in 2024, fuck that as you say buy what you can see in front of you at the dealers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawasaki do the KLX but for some reason they don't bring it into Spain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have a point, they sell sll the new arrivals to proper spaniards, and leave the “caballero” waiting for a whatsapp reply. That’s just wrong! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So don’t bother them, get your bike somewhere else, put a couple of feelers so your guys call you if anything pops up, and keep an open mind for other options. I don’t know why you would ever want options though, you’ve got the perfect motorcycle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want a nice Royal Enfield you do. You’ll get a warranty with it and what’s more, you’ll get to claim on it. You can’t say fairer than that can you, I mean think about all the insurance you pay out and how many times have you actually got anything for it? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
