Anyone got a firm delivery date yet?

Using your powers of deduction you might guess I haven't.

 

[SPL]

Delivery date - haha - I can't even get an ETA on the demo

 

[Joe narvey]

Last week March... they didn’t state the year.

I heard only 65 coming to the UK in March. No idea if that includes school bikes and demo bikes or just straight customer bikes.

Mines supposedly being built Week 8 , so assume last week in Feb so expect to see it end March

Any trips booked ?

Not as such . Many trips to house in Brittany and then Picos/Asturias annual jolly in September though probably taking ATAS on that .

That's a bit disappointing ~ that's only 20kg lighter than a 1190R.

And standard end can. Stick the Akra on and a Li battery - that'll save a few kg. Prob end up nearer 185kg.

But then some trinkets will add it back on. Hydraulic clutch conversion. Blipper. Panniers rails. Extra lights. Cuddly toy. Soon adds up.

What hydraulic clutch conversion?

 

[Apex]

Sounds like my bike could be leaving the factory week 25th Feb. Happy days.
