Featured Rocket Bye Bye Cerberus

The Rocket goes today
Haven’t got a date for the Tiger
Should hopefully be here within two or three weeks

 

Sad to see Cerberus go, Dilli, but sweet anticipation on your new sweet Tiger!

 

Yes, a sad day in some respects but the right (if difficult) decision was made for sure.
Look forward to that new Tiger mate - you'll love it!

 

Is that the Trekker luggage option?
Think I might go for the top box but not the panniers this time. (Just waiting for @Tiglet to chip in here)!

 

Little me,,,,,,you should know better @steve lovatt I keep myself to myself especially where bike accessories are concerned including panniers

Except for when we were in Germany and on a days rideout with my top box fullish,my bestist mate let me put some of my gear in his HUGE panniers when we stopped for sightseeing/lunch. Those panniers were the best thing since sliced bread at that moment

 

Otherwise referred to as "two skips attached to the side of your bike!"

 

Yeah it’s the Trekker luggage

 

Just got back
CERBERUS has gone
It knacked my shoulders getting it out of the garage and slow speed steering as well
It’s a shame but I’ll get over it

 

Well that was horrendous hearing him cry like that.

 

Is that picture really him ?
Cos I left him reversed in

 

They didn’t want the panniers rack and back rest then????

 

Yeah it's wor cerbs buddy.

 

I have been a bit busy, and just seen this news - I'd have expected to see it on the BBC, but they must have missed it.

Well done Dilli, the right call if it's right for you. I love the idea of the Rocket - but I know, I just know, that lighter bikes are more fun than bloody great heavy ones. The Speedmaster is in for a service today - they have given me a Yamaha MT09 for the day. 115HP, 185Kg of weight - it's not for me, but its fun, and it reminded me, if I needed it, that bikes can be just too unwieldy.

The Speedmaster is as heavy as I'm going!

D213791Q. You just never forget!

 

I don’t know how much it was new, but assuming it was 20K, first buyer paid the V.A.T.
So they’re selling it for more than it cost new! I think.

It’s the way of the world mate and by all accounts there’s still a waiting list

 

Hey, not as bad as a Jimny, price new 18 to 20K.....used, from 23k up to 29K +!
Ken.

 

Hi Ken,
we pay the MwSt/USt (ususally 19%) again and again if we buy (used or new) from a certified/official dealer...
Are the regulations different in the UK?

 

The subtle difference is that VAT is not shown on the ticket price of a UK used vehicle but a dealer (not private seller) pays VAT on their profit (mehr wert!) element.
