But BREXIT is relevant to a certain degree to bikes and this forum.
I was in my local, well as local as they get, Yamaha dealer today.
Before the 2016 referendum the on the road price of the MT10 was £10k
I asked what the on the road price was today – it’s £12k
My guess is that if we do end up with No Deal – the pound will weaken again – plus something like a 10% tariff (lets hope no more) and you are looking at £14k for an MT10. 14,000 quid. Try 17,000 quid for the MT10SP.
So from full EU membership to No Deal could see a 40% price rise in new bikes.
So I think everybody needs to get on that petition web site and send a message. It’s at 1.3 million and rising.
Brexit will make everything to do with bikes more expensive – not just one or two quid – seriously more expensive.
We need to kill BREXIT.
