I got a deal that was too good to refuse

I was after the Urban as well until the guy on the NEC told me it wouldn't be available until September!
My local dealer has a scrambler demo which he has painted white and added a single seat and I was getting a good deal against my 1190 adv but head has won over heart as I'm heading to the Pyrenees and picos in the summer and I don't fancy carrying 10 days luggage on my back.
I've ordered an Africa Twin for January.
Maybe when the touring stops i'll get one
I have a pic if anyones interested
Pre NEC a salesman told me it would be around June for the Urban , he initially thought it was New Year until he asked the boss. We were both surprised as its only a few bits that make it a GS instead of a Scrambler or a Pure. He quite rightly pointed out I could have a Scrambler now and 'turn it" into a GS over time ........
Did they give a reason why it would be June?
Nope , it was just what they had been told.
So, with the delay on the Urban, I'm wondering how easy it would be to take a new LC R1200R, and turn that into an R9T, or similar bike. Wunderlich did it with a GS, but not an R.
I think you would end up with an expensive dog's dinner
Why not just buy the Scrambler and get Tunneruk to work his magic
That would be might thoughts too
Lots of new Scramblers sat unsold in dealer showrooms waiting to be had. The savings you will make buying now on a no part ex deal could be used to turn it into an Urban or something a little more unique at minimum cost
But it now, then get it done over the next few months
Why not buy a mint low mileage theres loads out there....then spend some dollar moding....
At the NEC the displayed price on the stand of the only Urban they had was being displayed as (IIRC) £11470
A Scrambler X with ASC is currently £11320 with an expected increase come January
