They have sold 90 ( 10 today)

I will have to give it back in 3 years as id never be able to sell it

Would 120(ish) bikes sold 3 years ago at a discount have an effect on the value of the bike today?

It will depend what people do at the end of the lease.

Is that from this statement on their website?

Following the sale of 62 Africa Twin since we launched this over we now have just, Matt Ballistic Black Metallic and Dakar Red remaining

That's been on there for a couple of days now, certainly before the update on this thread yesterday I think when they said just red left.

I haven't had a bike since my daughter was born 5 years ago, but having had one for the 12 years prior to that (when I was old enough to have passed my test), the urge is strong every year and I have been desperately trying to resist jumping on this deal every day for the last week.

Amazing deal. The extra mileage charge is negligible also.

I only need one bike otherwise I would be all over this.

I bagged a matt black one today. They still had red as well.

[Golgarth]

Oh you bad bad people, looks like I have a phone call to make in the morning

The website said red only at the weekend so either some cancelled orders or more stock.

Luckily(?) for me as my no claims on motorbikes has long since lapsed a quick check on the cost of insurance coupled with the need to buy all new kit (boots, jacket, pants, gloves and helmet) seems to have finally curbed my extreme desire to jump onboard :-(

Today's the day I get mine! Going down to Bike Stop in Stevenage first, to get an appropriate jacket because I suspect it's going to piss it down later and then to the dealer for 1pm for collection. It's like Christmas... but with bikes.

See you there! I'd say I'll be the guy getting an Africa Twin but that may not narrow it down...

I suspect we're not getting it from the same dealer

That's a technicality!

Sorry since you said about Stevenage I thought you were picking up from John Banks too.

Did you get another dealer to match the deal?

Fowlers Bristol could not get near it.

[CaptainSlow]

I've just asked my local Yamaha dealer to match it with an MT10, sadly they didn't want my business.

Not just me looking round for deals on this bike then.

I was thinking of trying something similar - I missed out on the 0% deals on the MT-07 last year and am still waiting for something good to be offered...

[Rawwr]

I love it! It'd like piloting a small cloud. Though it does look like it could eat the Fireblade when it's sitting in the garage...



And just so there's no confusion with the keys...



Twin Twins!
