Just want to comment after reading all yours for the last hour lads. I know I am a Wisper dealer, the only one in my Country in fact but I am coming from a different angle. I took delivery of a 706 & 906 2 weeks ago, We run electric bike touring holidays here in Ireland & our fleet is made up of 705 & 905 14ah bikes. I rode the 706 along the first half of the 43mile trip & my first thought was that I a going to have to change the whole bloody fleet now because this looks so good...I gave all the holiday makers a chance to ride the alpino's on the way back & they loved it, mind you we did stop at a local pier by the Shannon half way & my wife had Irish coffee's for everyone (More whisky than coffee really) so getting any real sense from the Germans on that trip home was harder than usual, funny though! The comments back at the hotel whilst trying the black stuff were very good, they said the Black complimented the White of the alpino, I'll send you some pics, so a thumbs up from Germany as well as Ireland, Oh we had a French couple as well so three birds with one stone david. The 706 did fall over at the pier without warning but so did two Germans, I think that was my Wifes fault........
