Spend £350 on a trip to Germany and experience some local brew.

If its made in germany then you have a duty to buy in over there if its cheaper, otherwise how will we ever stop the UK being a rip off on price.

I had a C5 as a kid, they were brilliant....until you went anywhere near a lorry or bus.
So come on Ton....we know you aare going on a trip to the Fatherland....what are you buying?

Are electric bikes more probe to warranty issues? That would be my only concern, but it's a lot to save!

It doesn't surprise me, my enduro evo was 20% cheaper in France and they took a trade in.

Save your cash and buy it in Germany.

Talk with a UK dealer, ask them how near they'll get to the online price?

I know which I'd do. If it was built in the UK and you bought it here then you would be supporting the economy, that extra £350 is going straight to the UK importer rather than supporting anyone local to you.
