pete_scorpa3 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yep, have to agree with you there Addict. I think they look good... in the picture. It's obviously all going to be on how well they ride, plus of course...... how well they last! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I am in US. so if you can convert to US dollars that would be great. Because like most 'Mercans I are too lazy to do it meself. biggrin.gif As far as I know we have no importer or dealers in the states as of yet. I am just curious. Did'nt anyone tell you that I am the importer? l 3499 x 1.42 = $4969 plus shipping and customs fees!, roughly $5500.00!!!! What a deal! Of course you must add for setup and delivery, tax, title, license, and then there is my pittance! Total $7300.00 That is about $50 less than a new Sherco! You need to take advantage of this deal NOW! huh.gif Hey Cope, Maybe we can revive that Sponsorship you mentioned so long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone finally gets that last part it will be just in time for the official release of the Bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beamish owners club Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 didn't birkett try and create his own machine not too many years ago????? can't see why he doen't start producing his own machines now he obviously has the knowledge.....suppose the cost/time to make your own engines must be massive... I personally think it needs to be bigger companies who already have the facilities and and funds to do such a thing that need to get involved. would love to see a british name on the market tho I think the new Greeves fits that bill doesn't it?

jordi Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Just got a 250 on Saturday. Just took it for a quick spin on Sunday. Didn't try too much on it as was running it in. It actually felt pretty smooth and the build quality feels good. Will have to adjust suspension a bit before I try it out properly after this weekend. Just rode some clubman type sections and it handled them without any problems. Will let you know how it handles when I take it for a proper practice next week ( wont have time this weekend as i'm minding in Irish Champioship Round )So yes the bikes have arrived and dont look to bad either, might be perfect for the clubman. Well? Its been a while and no other news, Some one else on here must had ridden one. Are they in any shops yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowellsyboy Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Has anyone heard any more news on how the xispa's are getting on. Any one willing to write any reviews? Am changing my bike in a few months and just curious to see how there going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot 3 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 There's been a few around but unfortunately people keep throwing reports, stories, reviews etc on here as a basic way of advertising, these are deleted on sight. Somebody needs to get a crack on one and give us some feedback on it but FFS don't be connected to haven/border bikes etc etc etc, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowellsyboy Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Great write up on the xispa on the r2w site. Sounds like its going to be a really good bike. Definetly thinking of one now when i change mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joostio Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 thanks for the info regarding the write up on r2w. this bike will soon be availible in Canada and the review sounds great. the review says the graphics could use some improving but it still looks better than the new Greaves. Good luck Xispa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borus Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 great article and fair, not bad for a bike not set up for the rider. i'm sure there is very fast response from the factory on any issues. that's my experience... cheers bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) graphics can be changed by the owner on a whim........... I.E. My bike 3M spray adhesive and fabric Biffs Bike........well whatever his demented mind can come up with. I am more interested in Function, Durability and Competence. (the bikes not mine, we know what mine is like) So a basic graphic is not really a big problem. Imagine it is much cheaper to buy just a black rear fender and have it looking back to original, then it would be to buy the rear fender and the extra graphics kit to get it back to looking original. How many fenders can you destroy learning a new technique? Oh and heard much about the 250cc, are the 125cc and 280cc available yet?
