This is the reply I just got from Mark at MBW.I told him I didn't really expect any news, more that I was just trying to voice my and some other peoples wishes.
Hi Paul,
Yes, I’ve also been speculating about what will happen with the cruiser range.
So far, all we’ve seen is the Bobber. But I suspect there will be more. After all the Bonne family is now up to 10 models and counting!
I suspect that with cruisers still performing well - one of the biggest growth sectors in Australia, for example - they will eventually make some.
In fact, the new liquid-cooled Bonne range has been so successful, I imagine they are going to make both 900cc and 1200cc versions, so sit tight.
You will not get an answer from anyone on future product. Dealers don;t know yet, the importer may know, but has signed an agreement not to divulge any information, while HQ workers will be sworn to secrecy.
As a journalist, I am used to everyone refusing to comment on future product, but it doesn’t stop me asking. I’ve asked and received no response.
Unfortunately, I don’t think a petition would do much good. It takes several years to develop a new model, s they are either working on it now or not.
However, if you do go ahead and draft a petition, I’d be happy to promote it and seek company comment.
Cheers,
Mark Hinchliffe
