Ordered my 390 Duke from Fowlers in Bristol on Friday. Cost £2999.00 on finance, not sure for cash. Ridiculous bargain smile

Great work, unbelievable bargain! Top lurking as well.

I notice the RC125 and RC390 are also similarly cheap as well.

Demon Tweeks are selling off old stock brake pads on eBay at the moment ... worth a look if need some. I’ve given them a punt for £6 the set ... biggrin

I just ordered some earlier today and noticed by amazement they were the cheapest for my Daytona.

I however splurged £37 for ebc because I've used my face as a brake a few times before and I don't like the smell of hospitals.

I am curious, given the new 790 coming out, are there likely to be discounts is the 690?

I'm on the look out for a new pair of Alpinestar Supertec R. Local shops only have a choice of black or black.

So may as well go online as i know they fit and size I want.

Anyone know of a reputable company or offers. In no rush and thought I would ask on here just in case anyone see's a deal

I went to Premier Bikes in Oxford on Monday with the intention of buying one, but really didn’t like the riding position, you sit right over the handlebars. So not for me.

Are they matching the prices?

The 790 is being pitched as a new, higher model rather than replacement, so it doesn't look like it.

690 and 690R have been discounted, again at Fowlers. I was seriously considering the 690 until I saw the 790 ... but I cant afford that at the moment frown Then the price of the 390 was slashed! The 690 is twice the price, not sure it will be twice the fun as the 390?
I figured as the 390 was such a bargain (and generally has great reviews) I would get that for now then possibly upgrade to the 790 in a year or twos time. Hopefully/maybe that will be discounted to.

Sportsbikeshop have the much-revered Gerbing XR12 gloves at £135.99 which is about £20 less than most other places. Shall I, shan't I....

I've opted for the Tucano bar muffs for £40, but this is on top of the Dainese winter gloves i purchased for £160! They were sold to me that they would keep me warm, they are no better than the 20 year old Frank Thomas gloves i have, within 6 miles in 6°C my fingers were cold! They tried to sell me the Rukka's at £229.



The bar muffs are good, but they are strange and a bit restrictive, hard to use controls but hopefully i will get used to them.

Not really a bargain, but i think they look great and are good stocking fillers

Unusually they do, it’s their winter sale.

Do they ever actually sell anything for full price
