Dublin bike show

[powders]

Just back from the Dublin bike show
Was eager to see the new 17 bike colours and also the new gsxr as I'm hoping to upgrade later this year
Very disappointed with the gsxr that exhaust is huge it looks ridiculous and it was dearer than I thought ?18450 for standard and 21950 for the r and to be honest it looks too similar to a k7
The bmw looks much better and starts off at ?17300 here
Over all very disappointed with the show each model only had one colour displayed

Think you have the wrong figures there? 13 and 15 I thought?
Ah, Euro's....Thought that was quite reasonable...

13000 pound converts to 15000 euro approx
Add in vrt ( which is another Irish bull shi* tax )
And it should be 16000 approx

19,700 euro for a 2017 fully loaded motorsport coloured S1000rr from Joe Duffy.

The Japs have shot themselves in the foot.
