At the moment the dealers are still in the dark as well, they are only guessing at the moment and know as much as we do, the prices they gave me could be all wrong as well as well as the time frame.

In the US it will be $14,500 for the R. At least that's what we've been told.

At today's/exchange rate, 15,000 CD = $10,854 USD
Pdi, freight and taxes extra.

'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' - does the same apply to quality ?
acotrel said:The ISO9000 definition of quality is 'fit for purpose', which means that anything which does the job is a quality product. However a better definition is 'fit for purpose with obvious attention to detail'. As far as Australia is concerned, we can only compete globally on the basis of quality, if we wish to retain our salary structures.

Time for a gratuitous Vincent photo in the Thruxton R thread.
Lightning spec motor in this one, two front heads 34 mm ports, 34 mm Mikunis, 9 to ones. Finally got it fettled just right last fall.
Great power everywhere and excellent braking. New in 1949.
Had it out earlier in the week. Been thinking about selling, but one good ride made that idea go away.
It's not too late for me to get out of the Thruxton R deal :mrgreen:
