Surely that's good value compared to the competition?

Out of curiosity, what price range would be acceptable to you?
According to this site £10-12k http://www.maidstonehonda.co.uk/pag...crf1000l.htm?gclid=CLLDyZ7yg8gCFYIcGwodEZAD-w
Too much for a jap bike

Salesman in a local dealer said £9,800 for the manual version. Mind you he was full of sheet so I wouldn't take it as gospel
Im with you Davey

I see it as a bike competing with the F800GS rather than the top line adventure steeds of the euro manufacturers. So to me, it would not need to be a lot more expensive than said 800GS..... so around £9999, but knowing how we get stiffed on these things....£10,495. I believe they work out around £8500 in Germany, £9500 in France for the manual version. If that can be confirmed, it'd be a real kick in the spools for us to pay £11.5k.
At £11500 theres better bikes so if the price for the manual is more than £10500 Im out
I'm with you on this - an F8GS with most of the toys on it comes in at £10,265... or without the toys: £8,850. Would the AT really be 25% better than the F8GS, which has now had a few years to get well sorted?
There seems to be potential for significant discrepancy with continental pricing. How does importing the bike from a country in the Eoro zone work if the purchase price complete with the local sales tax/VAT equivalent is paid there? Do you still get hit with the VAT or other import duties on the way into Treasure Island or upon registration here?
That's ok if you want an 800. Personally they do nothing for me.
With all this 0% interest on money borrowed how do you poor finance guys make any money

I don't do finance/loans/pcp etc. I've money set aside to buy my next bike, but I just won't blow it all just to have the next great thing.
As for the F800GS, I've never ridden one, only the 800ST. I thought it was a nice enough engine, but in all honesty I don't really want another new euro brand bike.

I take it that's on one of these pcp deals?

True
If I want to buy & ride a Beemer I want a Boxer with shaft & Telelever personally
If not a Boxer, there are lots of far better bikes out there with chain & conventional forks

I don't do 0%
