I had this problem back in '06 with my 675........I made sure they didn't use R6/GSXR/CBR or other typical squid bike as a comparison due to all the claims those bikes have. I forget what I said it was closer to (Interceptor but smaller displacement!?!) anyway they were good and understood that...
:eek::(:confused: I can see it if you're a 14 to 22 yr old but considering you can buy a 675R that has the good bits for that (used) or a bit more for new............no bueno for old guys. IMO
Thanks so much for the update!! :cool:
And I would actually say it's terrible that (and when) reps don't know the information or their product that well! It's their job. Nothing has pissed me off more then when I went into the VW dealer to put a deposit down on a 2012 Golf R and the salesman...
So there won't be parts available separtely? Fork inserts, rear sets and tail section are all I'd be wanting. I thought the whole power parts thing was for this?
Meh, I'm sick of the "south"! Cold as fuck in the winter with a few breaks of warm days, a couple weeks in the Spring and Fall of great weather then hot and sticky! I miss Arizona, awesome for 9 months and bearable for the other 3, you just have to wake up early for those 3 months. :p
All I can add or ask is, do people leave their helmets on their bikes..........I've never lived in a place where the bastards wouldn't fuck with your bike, let alone not cut the helmet from a lock! Which never made sense, why destroy the helmet to take it, making it useless..........>:{
I'd just like to know about the quality of the bike in general, if you can give your views.
Also, if the Husqvarna Vit Pilen is there, find out if they're going to bring it to market and how much is RC390 and Duke 390 parts.
Being we're so late to be invited to the party!! It is awesome of you to share your experiences and evaluations.......it'll be a great help for us come April or whenever.!!
Thank you so much.
Cheers! :)

Lots of epic roads in NZ. I have a friend in Takapuna (suburb of Auckland) and have driven the Coromandel peninsula, pretty damn amazing! Love New Zealand.
