know after sales servicing could be a problem, but I'd be "gassing" up the HZ for the drive to Sydney to get a great deal with you and your mates.
G'day,
some good advice from 'big man who rides scapin'.......you're much better off with Sydney prices & competition....but i'd be telling Mr. bathurst bike shop that thats what you are contemplating doing, if he won't price & component match for you....I have several mates in the trade who tell me the LBS's are making 50% on new bikes,
cheers,
Hitchy
