No worries CBRBIKER!

Franz, unfortunately my brothers cannot comment but from what I understand I'd get the system now rather than wait for the new one! ;) That is my own personal opinion though and not one of my brothers (just in case anybody wonders!).

lots of walkie talkies for bikes on mnc.com, sat navs also at very good prices and other stuff. I got a sat nav from them, I could not find it cheaper anywhere

RE: Motorcycle intercoms

cbrbiker — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:40:58 GMT

Other half and I bought the Kit 300 recently (one each). It's worth noting that the kit won't do bike to bike out of the box, you need to buy a set of walkie talkies to use with it and the leads that connect the walkie talkies to the intercom are sold separately (around £14 each).

Should be getting the intercoms installed on Saturday, so I'll let y'all know what I think. :)

RE: Motorcycle intercoms

Scott W — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:36:56 GMT

Franz,

I've no idea at the moment and I'm not sure if my brothers are allowed to say either. I'll ask though! ;)

As for the comments about high speed I'm a bit confused by that. I know the testing they go through for this equipment (hiring Bruntingthorpe for one) and they do test them up to 150 mph on a regular basis to ensure the systems are still clear. As long as the mic is in the right place and the VOX is set correctly then people shouldn't have any worries at all.

RE: Motorcycle intercoms

Franz — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 06:15:31 GMT

Hi Scott,

Any idea on what the new model will be like?

I'm keen to get one while they are on sale but equally keen to get a new model when available.

Any clues on features and price?

Cheers,

Franz.

I could be all over this. My aging autocom has just packed up.

RE: Motorcycle intercoms

Scott W — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 09:06:49 GMT

My brothers work for Autocom and this is indeed an official promotion by them. They have some new kit due out (they think it will be around the NEC bike show time but this isn't confirmed) and therefore they are trying to clear the stock down.

So, if you are interested in an Autocom system then bag yourself one now before the prices go back up again! ;)

RE: Motorcycle intercoms

jimblade — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 01:50:10 GMT

sounds good, the problem with these things are they are some expensive and the market doesnt seem very competitive on prices, not being into electronic bits and bobs are cannot see how the prices are so high ?:w00t:

Just nosing through the chip wrapper (MCN) :)

and coma across Autocoms Ad, they are selling off their kits at 1/2 price ie. easy-duo £75, Active-duo £100 and the super pro which has bike 2 bike for £140, seem like a bargain to me ideal if you have satnav etc roll on payday :)
