Hi, I’ve been waiting on a new Honda 420 fm2 for about 2 months and nobody I speak to can tell me when It’s going to arrive!! My bike just now is needing tyres and serviced but I’m not really wanting to spend any money on it. Just wondering if anyone else can shed any light on what happening or in the same situation? Thanks. My dealer said it’s late due to shipping delay and has no idea when any new bikes will arrive 💁🏼‍♂️
 
My neighbour went to our dealer in February for a new 420 before lambing and he was waiting delivery of 35 quads,all pre sold. They hadn't arrived in June and no likely date given. Pioneers available apparently

Used bikes are going up in value to as no one can get new ones just seen a 6 year old 420 advertised for what we paid for a new one a couple year back
Yeah, part of the problem is they're nearly unaffordable now tbh, and the insurance value, which was fair at the time is way too low now. Word to the wise make sure the values are up to date on you policy!

Bikes are stuck in US due to cost of containers and avaliablity.

18 in a £1800 container 2 years ago
18 in a £18,000 container atm.

Should have bought shares in a shipping firm!
