no they're italian. They don't handle wet wintery weather too well but if I lived in a different climate I'd get one or if it was for the weekends only. Also expect to have to look after it well otherwise it will complain in the worse possible way. Glorious bikes though.

Well where I'll be it'll only be out for 8 months of the year (if even that) and in dry weather.

nothing at all, other than you never see them around, so the demand must be minimal at best.

I think I have a fear of buying anything "new old" - bikes that are modern "replicas" of old bikes. eg, my pain in the ass Royal Enfield, the W650, Triumph Bonniville etc.

OOoh, don't dis the W :mad: Great bike, fantastic mover, just doesn't like stopping :rolleyes: .

I like the "new old" myself, if I wanted my bikes to be 100% reliable I'd buy a modern bike, but they're no fun.

Come to think of it I've never seen a GT1000 on Irish roads, so they must not be selling all to well. Have to look into that before I get one.

I saw one GT1000 and I had to sto and amire it. It was park outside musician inc. A Ural with a sidecar in green would be cool.

Yes it would, love the Urals But with the side car they handle completely sh!te, not that that would bother me.

Think of the fun you could have mounting a deactivated gun on the side car
