PRICE | £9,600 |
£9600 = 11,900 Euros = US$13,500 As taxes, etc, vary per country, a better comparison is against the price of other bikes. The T120 costs about £700 less than a BMW R 1200 R, which makes if fairly competitively priced.
Next is the Royal Enfield Himalayan.
I read an article on an Australian website that the Himalayan doesn't pass the latest emissions regulations. This means that although it can be sold in the rest of India, it can't be sold in New Delhi!
The article mentioned that it would be able to be sold in Australia, but not Europe or North America.
I don't know if this is some marketing ploy, but I find it hard to believe that a company would develop a new engine that couldn't be sold in their own capital city, let alone other lucrative markets! No doubt we'll hear more later, but the article suggested that the price in Australia would be around AUS$7000 = £3700 = 4600 Euros = US$5300. Again local taxes could vary the price the Himalayan is sold at, if indeed it appears for sale at all!
50kg overweight! ;¬)
ReplyDeleteAlthough the T120 is a bit heavier than I would like, it’s not bad compared to similar bikes.
ReplyDeleteBMW R1200R – 223 kg
Harley Davidson 1200 Custom – 266Kg
Yamaha XVS 1300 – 293 Kg
Only really skimpy bikes are significantly lighter:
KTM 1290 Super Duke – 189 Kg
Ducati Monster 1200 – 209 Kg
So I don’t think Triumph have done too badly.
