Just received this from Ron at Flywheels.

http://www.discountnewbikes.com.au

ive had a look at this website and even asked for a quote on a bike... got a very quick response and a very cheap quote....$7350 ride away on a KLX250S....

Hmmm I was thinking a while ago of getting a Sachs 150 and racing it (yeah I know! ) anyway, seeing as I'd looked at them I thought I'd see what the new site has them for ....
First up a price check from bikepoint has it at $1999 Yup that's about right, plus ORC made it about $2400 ( a cheap race bike 'cos you don't need ORC) http://www.bikepoint.com.au/DesktopDefa ... TabID=3424
now for the You Beaut price from DiscountNewBikes ..... $7500 http://www.discountnewbikes.com.au/sach ... h08an.aspx
They might need to work on there pricing a bit before they get MY money!

with all respect paul that can't be right... something is amiss....

Are you sure you are both talking about the same bike. The bike in the picture looks a fair bit more expensive that $1999. For that money wouldn't you be looking at that pushbike looking Sachs???

I tested it out on a ZRX1200 only to have Bike Biz call me up to try to get me into the shop to do a deal. They only offered rec retail plus on roads over the phone. I can't see how thats the best deal available.

That pretty much looks like the Sach's bike right there.

Yeh you are right but it still looks like a lot of bike for $2K. Could the Bike Biz price be wrong???

Nope! that's what they cost! that's why I was interested in getting one to race, One of the guys in the club could get them for $1700 (unregistered of course!)

I also tried the"service" expecting them to come back with something like the best deal currently is.....instead all I got was an email saying they'd pass on my details to the local dealer..

Waste of time ...........you don't need a service to walk into or call up a dealer and ask the price.
