Cheers. Useful info to know.

Great advice. Thanks for the pointers on the import duty and for taking the time to go into detail. Appreciated.

Thanks for the advice Jamie. Always slightly nervous about the import duty from a non UK business. I?ve seen the belly pan on an eBay seller site too but will investigate further. Cheers.

Question. Do you end up paying import tax/duty on its arrival if you order from BikeTec in Germany?

Thanks to all. Some great solutions there - I?ve heard of the cycle shorts one before and it does help somewhat. Will do some more Googling and get it sorted. Cheers all.

Hi to all. Gen 4 M sport purchased Oct last year after some good years riding on gen 3 (amongst other bikes for 30+ years). Feels more compact for my 6ft 3in frame and more aggressive too (than gen 3). Using it for road, touring (Spain in Jul) and UK (so far) trackdays so will hopefully glean...
