you are so right Jill, cant for the life of me see why peeps would sell them to the germans when there are plenty of peeps in the uk after Buell's, most frustrating was dealers like Lincoln flogging them overseas for a fast buck, I lost a few when I was on the hunt......

A lovely German chap paid me £3500 for an '03 XB9. No one in England would have paid that much for it.
And he brought me some lovely German beer over too...!

Its a matter of economics. The pound has been very week against the Euro, so bikes over here are cheap for our European friends. The downside is that there is already a noticeable shortage of second hand bikes, and this can only drive up prices of new, supply and demand simples.

Lucky, if only the world's economic leaders discussed policies whilst hitching up their latex crackers over an oiled butt, the world would be a much different place. lOl

EWWWWW! Would you REALLY want to see Gordon Brown doing that? I think not.

Mind you, I nearly shortened Gordon Brown to GB which puts a whole other light on it and ends in yes please lOl
