I know when I replaced my order in Jan that there was no-one else who had put an order in since I cancelled, so I was still 2nd regardless! Mental when some dealers have sold dozens that mine have only got a handful of orders.

Apparently their demo bike turns up at some point this month though...

It’s a disgrace if a dealer accepts a demo bike if they have customers waiting on their orders to be fulfilled

Pidcock Long Eaton.



Yeah I know what you mean, they may even do that but they don't know what bike is arriving until the crate turns up apparently so hard for them to plan this ahead of time?
God knows.

Yeah. And nobody should be allowed to take time off, and they should all have compulsory overtime until all existing ordinary customer orders have been satisfied.

Review of the new RR on the road in MCN today. They like it as a road bike ("RR sets new standard" is the title so you get the idea) I'm sure I've read that before in mcn!!
Seems like the biggest problem is the 16.5 ltr tank and the 40 MPG they get out of it. The fuel light is on after 90 odd miles. Thats RSV4 range :-(
Will only do 140 miles before its bone dry. Why oh why did they not make the tank a tad bigger??
