KTM 790R Adventure price

[Mike54]

The 790 Adventure is only €12,399 in Spain, the Adventure R is €13,299, and I thought Spain was expensive for new bikes.

Right. But can we all please remember that the UK is an island, and therefore more expensive to ship to than mainland Europe in terms of numbers.

€13,299 = £11,800 according to a quick internet currency exchange search. About the same then!

You can blame Brexit.

European bikes are obviously priced in €

Japanese bikes built for Europe are also priced in €.

When setting price structures for the coming year, the exchange ratio £/€ is a significant factor for the UK market company...

They, and the companies that they buy their currency futures from, are obviously expecting further declines in the £ in the coming financial year.

You can blame Brexit if you like, and it is probably having an impact on the exchange rate
However back in 1999 the exchange rate was way better for us than it is now, 0.66 then and 0.89 now. It has generally slipped all the way through the history of the Euro. There are many more factors to the current world economic climate than Brexit.

Big effect on bike prices as all (except Triumph and Norton) are made outside uk and priced to sell in Euro either direct or from European distributors

You can directly link it to a worsening value of the £ post the 2016 referendum

Everything we import has risen in price unless you have missed it

At least 40% of Triumphs are made in Thailand.......

And even the British assembled Triumphs have a high foreign content...and not just bought-in parts. Triumph's Thai adventure started off as an exhaust pipe factory.

One of the biggest determinants of new vehicle prices is actually taxation.

Cars are very, very cheap ex Tax in Norway...but tax (based on engine size and vehicle weight) can be up to 100 % of the price ex taxes!

Electric cars don't bear the same tax...hence there are loads of them in Norway.

And it also goes for motorbikes.
