With the exeption of Beta my experience of other UK importers has been similar to the comments above;.. thier position is insuportable; waranty on mainland europe is 2 years for Beta, 1 year for Sherco, 1 year for Gas Gas, Scorpa BUT above all the ATTITUDE OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN IS TO SUPPORT THE CUSTOMERS unlike the UK importers. I know this from personal experience.I have commented on this recently ,the only response on these forums was from one guy who said his bike (make) was perfect so there was no need for a warranty. I will be getting shot of my current bike on return from Europe (never to buy another) the only bike I can choose is Beta. Warranty is a serious issue when spending silly amounts of money on trials bikes hopefully this forum may raise awareness amongst paying customers and maybe even the service from the UK supply chain. It.s not as if these guys are having a hard time financially they all live very well.
