absolute nightmare, i ended up with bike the upside down,but be careful of your rear plastics,goes on ok then.found it impossible with the bike on a normal stand . watch your fingers!
just going a bit off topic, an awful lot of people seem to be wanting rid of 4rt's and gasser being the bike of the moment,as it would seem your doing yourself nigel.
just because you couldnt get one doesnt doesnt mean they're not overpriced,you would have got a 280/300 no problem,then you could have had the pleasure of your carbon end pipe wearing through within the first couple of rides!!!!!
They might be cheaper to make in china,problem xispa have now is they have to to move the thing's from china half way around the world to the punter,and obviously that take's fuel,added with everything else that's gone up it's rather killed there launch of a cheap bike.
it may be they're made in spain, with predominately spanish parts.
My 07 250 seized after being jet washed then highly revved to "dry it"(previous owner,who i know well).Whatever was needed was done ,it runs like a dream,only the cyl. head is a different colour as i'm told its acid dipped when being repaired and takes the paint off.
when attempting to buy an 08 250 afew months ago when there was none about,jude the lady at gguk said that bmw had pulled rank on gg,and the rumour that gg hadnt paid their marzocchi bill wasnt true. did gg recently have financial problems?
