You don’t need to tell me the norton is No.1. Look at where you’ve parked the comfy chair, right in front of the 961!My Indian (established since 1901) is I have to say a very enjoyable ride. The engine is very smooth and with 78 hp, it has some reasonable grunt but best between 60-70mph, any more and it's hard work. Sounds great but not a patch on the 961 for its audible delight. So I am enjoying it and I have to say, gettimg more comments from strangers than the Norton. But it's number 2 for me.
You obviously priced it competitively- or more accurately- realistically. Thought you might have offered Guzzi plus HD for an Indian at KH!I put my Guzzi for sale on FB Marketplace on the 25th, had two responses and today it has gone and money in the bank. It doesn't take long to sell and I can now concentrate 100% on the next purchase
They’re raised, like embossed. It’s lacquered over but to my eye it looks to be moulded in to the cowl and then painted. It looks like that, certainly doesn’t look like a sticker.
yes...when my bike was last serviced (before i'd ordered the superlight) clem mentioned they had ' a buyer ' who would buy my bike (on clems recommendation that it was exceptional) without even seeing it... the offer was reasonable but clem admitted they would ask about £2500 more for it than the offer... i still haven't really come to terms with selling it yet...that's why i have only half heartedly put it up for sale...its so good to ride and i get stomach ache thinkin about lifting the garage door and it not being there !... BUT if i get a decent offer, i WILL sell it....
I'm pretty sure Clem said, and also in one of Mr Garners interviews, that 80% of the current build go overseas.
The reality is that there are not many bikers with that kind of money to splash out cash and I don't accept credit nor do I offer any warranty, so the most likely buyer of a bike in the £10k+ bracket will be a dealer, they will want to make a profit AND cover there backs if something were to go wrong with the bike in the new owners hands. I personally wouldn't touch a bike in that price bracket without a substantial warranty so that usually means buying new, or buying from a dealer. I'm not even sure I would buy my own 961 for the sort of price that I would like to get for it, if you know what I mean
Went to Krazy Horse today, saw a fair few Commando's in the showroom, parked outside and a white Sport on the service ramp which apparently belongs to the H-D dealership owner over at Newmarket!!!
Welsh, the Krazy Horse Indian showroom is crazy full, couldn't swing a cat in there!
Clive, Krazy Horse are a Morgan dealership and I had to walk past approx. £1,000,000 worth of Morgans to get into the Indian showroom
John, on my drive out of Bury I passed a green 961 Sport heading towards KH, it looked pretty cool in the gleaming sunshine. Yours?
