2012 US Race Models Spares Kit
A couple of dealers have told me that some customers have gotten the idea that the 2012 US Race models will come with the spares kit like the 2011s did. This is not correct. We decided to leave off the spares kit for a few reasons:
The kit adds about 300 Euro ($410 at the current exchange rate) to the cost of the bike.
The factory sometimes seems to have a hard time getting all of the parts in the kit which creates a lot of follow up issues for the factory, dealers and Go Fasters.
The orange company does not offer a kit like this and we need to stack up as close to them as possible. If a dealer forgets to explain to the customer that there is a spares kit then we will look like our bikes are much more expensive than theirs. It complicates the whole sales process.
So....If a dealer tells you the 12 does not come with a spares kit, he is correct and it was our decision to drop it. We hope you guys understand the reasoning behind the decision.
