Depends on the Insurance company, as far as I can remember CN drop NCB after 2 years, others are 3, good luck.
BTW as to the original post, bike sales are historically like a yoyo, some years good some bad, sometimes only down to the weather :eek:, it's just that type of business, no-on gets into it unaware of this so don't worry too much.

No, it's two. I have checked them all. Same in the car world.Ode To The Motorist

..gosh, no. I think our US friends easily outdo them..........
You really have to want one of those to buy one.
I was in the Harley show room the other day - when I mentioned that their bikes were substantially more than other bikes, the answer I got was - 'Yes, but it is a Harley!'
I think that was when I realized that they are not for me.btw, did you notice in the Irish Times article that the test ride bike was supplied by........Hurst' in N.I. ?
I saw that. Why didn't Joe Duffy supply the bike?
Wait, I think I know the answer to that.

....I used to think that, but, after 16yrs+ of BeeEmm's I decided to try something completely different, and bought an 05 RK-C. Wow
Sparkly and all as they are, they are also, as I've learned in the last 18 month's......shockingly good. It doesn't vibrate, in fact, it's incredibly smooth. Transmission better than the BeeEmm, and driveline smoother (due to belt, no doubt)
It's actually a better/easier 'normal' bike than the BeeEmm's. Sure it' won't do 120. But there again, 60 feels like 120 This has benefits: less likely to kill oneself being just one. Penalty points, another. And it draws a crowd. :cool: Much better low-speed bike/traffic bike than the BeeEmm -fr'instance, it will drive, perfectly smoothly, clutch out, at walking pace. The RT used to drive me nuts as it wouldn't ! (too tall gearing). Very, very quick to drive (fantastic torque).
And no, I took OFF the loud pipes and put std ones back on !
Yep, expensive. But cheap to run, cheap to service, cheap to insure, depreciation less than a BeeEmm, long-term.
For irony: did you see the grey 06 K-GT trade-in in Dublin H-D ?Ode To The Motorist

I did see it.
I think the K-GT are great bikes, but like any bike, it has a purpose, and town driving is not what it was designed for.
I might try a Harley when I get older.
I see they dropped the price on that K-GT by......4k !!Ode To The Motorist
