Why do the Germans have the most expensive bikes & parts ?

Ultimate riding machine.

Here's another one.

" BMW – a Whyte PRST-1 mixed with a Cannondale Headshok. And sold on through ASDA. "


" BMW (again) – folded up and ready to put into a skip. "

Thank you Mr. Sbike, those two do look weird enough to be genuinely BMW, especially the front sprung yoke to the forks. I recently rode a MTB with just the rear spring like those bikes, and it was a very "bouncy" ride, too bouncy to be useful. Perhaps that's what the front spring is for?

I do see "badged" bikes from Japan over here, but always assumed they are sino-copies... "Land Rover" is a popular target. "Jaguar" another.

Hi there,

I have heard and seen that it's NOT the Germans who have the most expensive parts, bikes but the SWISS in Switzerland!

Agreed. It's no secret I love their M Cars but their bikes are absolute pants, fugly & designs look bonkers. I took a few for a spin at my main dealer. The handling is aweful. How can they be so blind ? The Italians always make things look good at least, they just bugger up the electronics and reliability You can't beat a Swiss analog watch IMO but again everything else they do apart from cheese and chocolate is a bit iffy.

Sweeping statements me Not digging the fake thruppenies on the mullet girl above either....sorry..I like to see a little natural 'sag' in the suspension
