October 18, 200916 yr That theory has been muted recently. I was out and about today and went into our local Honda dealership. They are a big road bike dealer with a ''Posh'' showroom and tucked in the corner are the Motocross bikes, upstairs full range of mainly road bike clothing, but did have some off road clothing, boots, hemet, goggles, gloves etc. When I asked the salesman if it was big business the off-road side he replied '' Not really but we stock them anyway'' Wonder how long before they have a 4RT in their showroom?
October 18, 200916 yr Wonder how long before they have a 4RT in their showroom? NEVER Big John has it right.
