It`s obvious why you don`t see many Trumpies, anti-English sentiment is still high in Wales, you know, Offa`s Dyke, Rugby rivalry etc etc so they won`t buy a motorbike which until 2003 had a badge on it saying "Made in England."

I wouldn't say thats the reason in Wales.I think this applies across the UK? Jap bikes have a proven record regarding reliability,performance,even though most of them lack 'soul/character' in my opinion. Maybe that is the reason? Prior to the 675,I don't think the range appealed to the younger biker,but the present range is as fresh/good as any other. A 1000+cc version of the 675 would be nice.

I know, I was joking! I just forgot to post the little smilies.

I`m from Llanelli, just up the road from Llandovery.
