A smidge over 3k for a brand new one without any extras, might not be a bad shout tbf (thumbs)

I had a good look around one of these at F2 Motorcycles and couldn't really see anything "bad" on it at all ,solid construction ,forks felt as if they could do with some work , if it wasn't raining he would have let me out for a test ride .

He suggested the centre stand was not really up to regular use and the crash bars looked a bit marginally engineered too imo .

My only real barrier to buying was just that nagging doubt over the support in the medium term - ie even at Β£3k there do not seem many about and if they don't sell (like the WK 450 enduro/trail CRF clone) parts etc could be an issue in the future.

Er? Is it made out of biscuits or something?

I saw these at the NEC and thought they were pretty good although (amazingly) the show ones hadn't been put together quite right.
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.
