I was curious to see, in MCN, that Harley are offering 0% finance on 883's, prices from about £5,800.

The £ stands at 2.10 against th $. You can buy a brand new 883 in the US for $6695, which is £3188.09, so who pockets the other £2,700? Rip off Britain?

Winder how much it would cost to ship a bike across :idea: - not that I want one mind you.

A very good point Paul (Stratman).

I remember many years ago you could buy a Triumph motorbike for two or three grand less in America depending on which model you wanted :!:
Absolutely ridiculous when you consider they are made here in the UK in the first place :!:

If you want to buy a Harley in the States you will go on a waiting list because they serve the foreign markets first :!: is it any wonder :roll:

Thanks for the Harley Ferguson. When I tell people I ride bikes they say "Ooh, is it a Harley?" (must be something to do with being middle aged I guess) and I always say "no, I think you'll find that they are two wheeled tractors"

Not that anyone's interested, but...

A bike mechanic friend of mine reckons that a cheap way to a Harley is to buy the 883 and spend a few hundred quid on a new top end (barrels, cylinders and con rods) as the bottom end is the same, thus saving a good few quid on the list price. Plus, of course, it's still listed as an 883 so insurance would be cheaper (although I certainly wouldn't advocate anything like that) :roll:

TBH

I think it's a sickening subject for this forum!

There maybe young impressionable bikers reading this thread who may entertain the idea that these are actually motorcycles :roll:

When we all know where they really belong .....
