It's funny how the only arguments being thrown about are financial ones with the main argument of remainers revolving around we'll be poor outside of the EU.
From mine and many others point of view the point of Brexit is not financial gain but freedom from the EU. I don't really care if I take a financial hit (and no I'm not rich) but I do care about my government being in control of the laws of my country and taking regulatory power back.
Oh and I did my bit for the Brexit economy by buying a bike last year :-p

Re: Cheaper bikes for EU but not UK
Is there a UK bike made here now, triumph are in part at least.
I suppose its not the place to bang on about it here, other than its going to imapct on the bike scene price wise, and disposeable income wise to fund and enjoy the hobby.
But you do have to wonder about the many pro brexit wealthy who are moving much of thier cash etc out of the UK.( much in to the EU !!! ) and they are.
Instead of spending 2 years doing less than nothing, we could of been upping our own food production and really going for it and pushing things etc etc, would of been a good idea. A nationwide possitive push and efort if you will, would of made far more sense when there was a real hope and will. A big all going for it campaign.
So people would come to us, not we go begging to them if you will.
The UK could lead the world in so many innovative areas if it got a grip.

Re: Cheaper bikes for EU but not UK
Sold my r1200rt to a polish guy on eBay.
He came and collected it in a large van where 5 other bikes were stowed.
He travels to uk once a month, buys six or seven bikes then ships them home. Makes a living that way!

Re: Cheaper bikes for EU but not UK
Well the £1s down a decent amount against the zloty so its a much better margin for him at present, shame the bikes are leaving though.
My Cousin sold his bike to a Polish dealer chap from Manchester way but he was selling on here.
Best Mark.
