Still meh. Not a word about parts on their site. They will of course assure buyers that they'll be able to get anything in. 
I have no doubt that 95% of it will be better than an SR400 or Enfield. It's the other 5% that would make me consider it to be a sunk cost.
Get it down to around £2.5K and we could talk. But it would mostly be about parts supply.

Now THERE was an abortion of a motorcycle if ever there was one. I have UMGs review of it comitted to memory.
Ahem.
"Mongrel marriage of aging 350 twin chassis and rotax single. A real bastard in the true sense of the word. Buy almost anything else instead."

I have owned 2 of these bikes and found little to fault them on, one as a solo and one as a sidecar tug both with the front disc brake, as for UMG, if it is not a quick seize 1970s 2 poker then they will find fault with any bike that lasts longer than a KH250 which they think were the Bees Knees, but we who actually had the misfortune to ride one of those Kawasaki piles of crap know otherwise. I would pay little attention to anything you read in that rag. |
