June 5, 201214 yr Hi. Are these still available? Am trying to find out the cost of the factory bike. Also, who has one and what's your opinion? Thanks
June 6, 201214 yr It's the "Racing" and a Local Dealer has one in as a demo and to ride himself. I think it's somewhere between £500 and £1000 more than the standard bike.
June 6, 201214 yr If you're in NE centre, you're welcome to have a go on mine anytime. Best wishes Will-in-the-mud I'll take you up on that next time I ride up Weardale way
June 6, 201214 yr Factory bikes now available Phill Clarke (North East Ossa dealer) has one in stock. ive rode one and they are MEGGA!! hope this helps.
June 7, 201214 yr Author Sorry for delay been offline since last Friday and had to make do with 3G (or lack of) on my work phone with no 'personal' contacts in. I did text a friend in South Midland centre to ask an Ossa dealer in Cambridge but they never got back to him, so they're crossed instantly off the list Anyway, cheers for that guys, sounds like a serious piece of kit So am guessing that's arpound £6800 for one of these? that about right? Best part of £1000 above the new Raga rep if so and thats a LOT of money. Guess I'm going to need to make a journey to try one...
June 22, 201214 yr Mine arrived today Seriously nice toy. The British models have no LSS but mine started from delivery on the 3rd kick. just need to get out to play on it now.
June 24, 201214 yr and on day 2, thought I was going to pass out trying to start it . . . . Gave up and tried the Scorpa, 2nd kick (after not being run for at least 3 weeks) whoever left the LSS system off the UK bikes needs to have a word with themselves. Now, back to the fora to try to figure out how to make an LSS myself . . Nice bike but such a pig to start, takes everything else away from it. and the kickstart fouls the frame (knocking lumps off the frame, also leading to "sair knee" having kicked the frame to death trying to start the fekkin thing)
June 25, 201214 yr Without that experience you probably wouldn't appreciate the battery transformation :-)
June 25, 201214 yr all new factory replica, will not with LSS ! the new map which is only 1 or 2 kicks for mine even cold ! once you tried the new factory , you will see the gap ! others far behind !
June 25, 201214 yr the 9v system is a doddle to do and it works a treat jsp Edited June 25, 201214 yr by jsp
June 25, 201214 yr jsp, i took out the LSS of my factory week ago due the switch not contact well, my dealer replace it with the original capacitor. my bike runs very well with new map ! without LSS ! but my brother's standard bike 2012 TR280i , and my explorer keep the LSS !
