No time to talk about anything else and I've signed a confidentiality agreement, so I can't say anything here. It was high level, as there were a fair few Japanese bigwigs there...

Well done
Sounds exciting and interesting.
Frustrating too, when you hear/read guesses and nonsense and you can't chip in with the truth

Okay All, I'm happy you lot all chipped in and so quickly too!

Yes, I know exactly what you mean with the Honda analogy and yes, I now know a little more about MK, so thank you for that.

I realise that these other companies need a chance and they may get where Honda is now. It's interesteing to find this stuff out form you lot and edify meself! I'm glad I joined Muppets I will go and check Hero and WK out.

However, I won't be risking my money on WK just yet as an 'early adopter', which may contradict my last statement above. Someone else can be that early adopter for now.

Hero had the worlds biggest selling model back when I used to get all the figures for this stuff.

You shouldn't have too much difficuty finding a dealer, where I live there are more WK Dealers than Piaggio, Ducati, Harley Davidson and BMW combined.

Yup - in my town, there is a WK dealer (well a tiny workshop) and the nearest Piaggio dealers are in Newcastle and York (both 40 miles away), Nearest Ducati in Newcastle, Harley Ditto, BMW in Sunderland and York.
