Speculation only
KTM 790R Adventure price
Re: KTM 790R Adventure price
£8500 may be speculation but as the XSR700 is £6995 it shouldn't be too far above or people will just stump up the extra and buy an Africa Twin. Let's face it if you don't do "full on" off road why not just save some pennies and get the XSR ?

Re: KTM 790R Adventure price
You can blame Brexit.
European bikes are obviously priced in €
Japanese bikes built for Europe are also priced in €.
When setting price structures for the coming year, the exchange ratio £/€ is a significant factor for the UK market company...
They, and the companies that they buy their currency futures from, are obviously expecting further declines in the £ in the coming financial year.

We buy things we don't need
With money we don't have
To impress people we don't even like

You can blame Brexit if you like, and it is probably having an impact on the exchange rate
However back in 1999 the exchange rate was way better for us than it is now, 0.66 then and 0.89 now. It has generally slipped all the way through the history of the Euro. There are many more factors to the current world economic climate than Brexit.

Big effect on bike prices as all (except Triumph and Norton) are made outside uk and priced to sell in Euro either direct or from European distributors
You can directly link it to a worsening value of the £ post the 2016 referendum
Everything we import has risen in price unless you have missed it

Re: KTM 790R Adventure price
Of course it’s had an effect, I’m just pointing out that there are also other economic forces at work.johnnyboxer wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 6:39 amOnHellas wrote:Richard Simpson Mark II wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 9:48 pm You can blame Brexit.

The USA China thing for one....in case you missed it.
Bikes produced outside of the U.K. have been steadily rising in price since about 2009 after staying pretty much static from 1998.
I’m not defending or attacking the Brexit referendum result. Merely stating facts in currency exchange and bike prices.

Re: KTM 790R Adventure price
The 790 Adventure is only €12,399 in Spain, the Adventure R is €13,299, and I thought Spain was expensive for new bikes.
Current bike is a Yamaha T7
