[Ballies]

Its a beautiful but 2 expensive

I will bet R100 they won't sell more than 10 in SA for the next 15 years. R81k thats fucking crazy

I'll take you up on that bet.

It's like Ducati, crazy prices for a high spec, high performance bike but they still a lot of bikes.

I'll take a case of beer when I win.

One assumes daft importers who just see $$$$$ signs and golf estates..

OIIIIII!!!!!  Easy tiger!!!!  Daft importers... DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?! 

Seriously though, as the reverend says, like Ducatis, these bikes are extremely high-specced, no compromise on component quality, you are buying a ready-to-race enduro/moto, and the bikes have shown results already, winning championships all over the place.  Unfortunately, like Ducati, I don't expect these to be supremely reliable for everyday use, not that the average joe would be able to afford the initial cost and/or maintenance, but I can guarantee you that the importers' mark up is the same as their other marques.

A 450 or 550 v-twin really excites me, and quality components throughout - but not at that price
