I suggest you give any of the Rods a go.. they really don't hang around. I'm lucky because of contacts I get to ride all sorts.. sometimes just to put some miles on before they go to shows all over europe..bed the brakes in that sort of thing. But no tassels for me or chaps..very YMCA plus they expose the bits that hit the deck..lol.. ridden a lot in the states so I know thats where they are needed just to keep the bugs off your jeans.. over here..Nah! can't stand them
Looks like the 500 isn't making the UK. Guess it's back to dreaming of chopping my JL250-5 in for a Dragstar
My mate got a 1200 nightster for his wife the year before last..09 plate bit rough but did it up over the winter.. a friend at 8 Ball did the paint..its the dogs danglies.. and it cost £3400..worth twice that now..Ill dig out a picture WR6133
Not bad for a nightster
Long time before I can buy something like that! At least without the Mrs divorcing meOriginally Posted by Sins
. Of the 883's I prefer the roadster I like the "fuller" look as opposed to bobbed/minimalist.
I ride 300 quids worth of Chinese 250 that I spent the last 3 months getting on the road
Well it's a credit to you Bud.. I don't care what it is as long as you ride it.. Unlike when I started riding when there was a lot of rubbish around.. Normally British lol.. I do a bit of fabricating.. Metal working and spray painting..including airbrushing. I'm looking for a project myself..helps thatI started as an apprentice panel beater on Rolls Royce.. .
If it's your Pride and joy it's your pride and joy WR6133 !!! It's two wheelsLong time before I can buy something like that! At least without the Mrs divorcing me

That's a lot of bike for £300
Makes me wonder if one of the main markets for this bike will be China?
Unlikely, Urban China that could afford it is massively anti-motorcycle. Many cities ban them outright within the cities. Beijing has a 2 tier registration system and if you want the good number plate that still only allows you up to ring road 2 you have to fork out serious money to buy one off a current owner as they only issued a limited amount, caught without the right type of plate and they crush the bike. Add to that imported bikes garner 75% or more to the price in taxes and charges. There's also a bit of a social stigma many urban (only people that may afford a HD) Chinese see bikes as something for the backward countryside peasants (who rely on the cheap Chinese bikes to go anywhere).
Amusingly the reason many cities claim for banning or restricting bikes is "air pollution".
(Only know all this because the wife is from Beijing)
