    Italian Motorcycle Importers ( IMI ) Bryanston Closed Down

    It seems IMI had it's doors closed for business last week after little more than three years in operation. It's just so unfortunate that Dealerships dealing in niche brands, like Aprilia and Moto Guzzi find it very hard to sustain their businesses in South Africa. The state of the economy...

    Following on from the 950/990 thread by KTM Forever on the number of bikes hitting the market, what's the view on so called legend tax ? Is it real ?
