The french version of Trials Magazine is saying that the price of the 250 will be 4330 euros, thats about £3440 in real money.
Also that the rear shock will be Paoli, carb will be Oko, brakes AJP.

won't sell at 3440 if its no cheaper than a beta, isn't that about the same or has it gone up due to the euro?

I agree. I took a good look at it in France and the finish looked second-hand. It wasn't an impressive looking machine at all :D

So about $6,350 US.

Not cheap enough me thinks to take business away from the established manufacturers

I agree.
It either has to be as competitive/reliable/well-built as the opposition, or it needs to be significantly cheaper.... certainly when it first comes out, otherwise most buyers will simply go for the established marques.

No one will think that its better than a sherco surely?

There fore logic says it has to be cheaper (by some way) to tempt buyers?
