Padgetts surprise surprise. All over me to buy a new bike, Most expensive Honda dealer in the country in my opinion, tried selling me a 2009 bike which was more than a 2011 bike with ABS, jokers!! :jaw:
Not sure guys. I actually chatted to Clive a few weeks ago about buying a Stocker or having him build one for me. Bruce's was the only one available at that time. The bikes cost between £22-25k to build, and they haven't done very much to be fair. Maybe a tad steep at £15-£16k for some people, but thats a lot of bike for the money. Remember that includes VAT at 20% too. I was able to buy the bike with either Bruce's bodywork on it (still with flys from UGP) or with new plain white bodywork. I see they are offering them with new bodywork now. I deal with Padgetts quite a bit and they are spot on and always up for a good deal.
Given that HM Plant sold there stockers for way less, its a bit steep. I know clive well, i get all my race parts from him and have done for years, but 15-16k for a stocker is uber nuts. given that they pay around 6k for the bike in the first place, they dont split the motors, and the only real major expense is the suspension & full system, it very steep. I suppose he can do it, but Padgetts have always been known to be steep for any bikes, looking at the other race bikes for sale confirms this haha. PS, a decent 08/09/10 blade stocker can be had for well under 8k, i missed 2 last week for 6 & 6.7k respectively, one of which was brogies stocker winning bike.
