Voxan maybe?

[idb]

OK Ok I know they're French but has anyone looked at them?
I'm in the market and now that I've got the dosh I dunno what to get.
What a dilemma eh?

[Jackrat]

Yeah I looked at them,Their french, they probably come with built in limpit mines.Buy a Duke or an MV if you got that much money or credit.

[marty]

more show and noise than go. they don't call em a cafe racer for nowt. i'd be talking to matt about the MV...

[idb]

Hmmm. MV might be a bit rich.
A 888 is the one at the moment.

.You could make Matthewt an offer on his Brutale, and then he could invest in an F41000. Just a thought.....

Ride one and judge for yourself. Dave Cohen (Kiwirider) was most impressed.

Yeah what an ENVIABLE dilemma. I haven't ridden a Voxan but they sure are pretty (well the cafe racer is at least) and they've got scarcity value (hard to quantify I know..) and they are very well spec'd (Paioli and Brembo etc). That is not to denigrate Dukes and MVs at all, but Voxan is certainly another option. Why not ride one AND an MV AND a Ducati 999...and a Guzzi and a BMW .. and then decide??? Or you could wait for the new KTM....or what about a Benelli....and then there's Bimota....and those USA built Nortons....oh, and what about ....ah, to have the choices....

Owning a Voxan and living in Arrowtown???

Hmm... Might be a bit of a trip to the local dealer? Mate I'd go for something dependable and easy to service that I could buy parts for easily on the internet for....

Like say...

A roundfin Guzzi????

That's not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it was reliable.
I was talking to Yamahamaman about dealers, and his 'local' dealer is in Whakatane (he lives in Auckland), and he enjoys the ride when taking his R6 for a service (that, and he says the dealer is VERY good).
By the way, Yamahamaman - thanx again for the helmet! I love it!

[AMPS]

How many franchise dealers are there in Arrowtown?

[Motu]

One of my customers came into see me earlier this year on the Voxan,he thought it was a fantastic bike - but then he's French,it could be he's a little biased there....

[gav]

Think Christchurch Motorcycles has a Voxan agency.

[idb]

Not many franchise dealers in Arrowtown - weeeelll actually none but we've got great roads and the Maui campers (moving chicanes) keep you on your toes.
Christchurch Motorcycles is the South Island agency, AMPS is the North - but I bet Lou already knows that.
By the way Lou, what do you know about the sport version VB1?

[Hitcher]

Ride one and judge for yourself. Dave Cohen (Kiwirider) was most impressed.
Lou

Have you got a demo or do you have to buy one first?

[AMPS]

Only seen photos of the VB1, gorgeous!
We have a demo cafe Racer, but it's not available just yet. We also have a demo Street Scrambler.
Powers that be are working on releasing a few more cheveaux from these engines too.
