    Is this Honda Dealer also a KTM Dealer, are they based in Dublin?

    If so, that's the problem.

    This is where I got mine: has sold a good few bikes to Ireland, so not unfamiliar with dealing with us - might be worth a try: https://www.premiummotors.nl/

    Change out the front sprocket for one with one or maybe two more teeth - easy fix.

    Yeah, I had considered that a while back. I wasn't sure how much it would affect torque in higher gears, considering it's pretty gutless already.

    Well if you don't have enough torque in a higher gear, change down 😎

    I used to ride a 600, very fast when you kept it spinning but you could have to change down 2 or even 3 gears to overtake. No big deal.

    Wow Honda offers a lot to a buyer there! 1 year all risk insurance and 5 year warranty!! The Uk offers free Datatag and 2 year warranty, Ireland, we get a 2 year warranty! Think i might reconsider buying a new bike here 😑

    You're not comparing apples with apples though.

    1. In the first instance, what insurance is on offer in UK/NL is of no consequence to here, as it doesn't cover you here.
    2. Whilst a longer warranty is a 'nice-to-have', it's the same bike you're getting, so the warranty cover isn't going to affect your likelihood of needing it. UK warranty an RoI are the same, at 2 years.
    3. And, if you buy a new bike in (say) NL, and bring it in here, don't expect Honda here to help you out on any warranty-related items.

    The point I was making is they offer better deals in other countries, wasn't in any way implying I could bring it here and have the insurance cover or warranty.

    I've bought a few bikes new in this country, and we get feck all extras. I understand it is because we have a smaller pool of bikers, doesn't make it fair though, and as said I'll stick to secondhand now I think.

    It's because there's a very very long tradition of importers here screwing us to the wall and getting away with it.

    Once they have your money they don't give a fúck. Warranty claims? 🤣 Recalls? Nah, don't exist in Ireland.

    Of course what is on offer in other EU countries is of consequence. The euro in my pocket are just as good as someone in NL

    You're preaching to the converted: I bought my GW in NL.

    You're right about recalls & service: you're on your own.

    Special offers of warranty or cheap finance etc are only of no consequence to use in RoI as we can't access them, that's my point. If I was living in NL it'd be great.
