    hi there

    I just placed a deposit on a £12K Rocket III, only to find they
    are just under £9K in the States and apparently cheaper throughout
    Europe. This is outrageous when you consider it's a British built
    bike and should actually cost more abroad with shipping charges.

    Is this just the usual case of Rip off Britain? Does anyone have
    any idea what the prices are in other European countries or why
    the bike should be so much more in its country of manufacture?

    Cheers
    Ange

    UK bikes have a special surcharge to cover the cost of entertaining all the
    owners who turn up at Hinckley wanting a factory tour.

    Everything will be much better when we become a fully integrated part of
    Europe, and all prices are the same.

    Vote UKIP - Keeping prices high for British Bikers.

    Wild stab in the dark and all that but... are you a big fat lezza?

    No. I'm a just clueless misogynist fuckwit like the rest of my mates on here.

    You missed out the bit about attributions, you clueless misogynist
    fuckwit. As well as missing out the attributions, obviously.
