It's the same in the UK too, particularly with Touratech products. Everything is 33% more expensive if bought from Touratech UK than Touratech DE. Take their seat for the Tenere as a typical example: �400 here and �300 (350 Euro) in Germany. It is even more baffling when the UK and Germany are both in the EU, which is "supposed" to be a common market?!

I could fly to Germany, buy a Zega Pro "+S" pannier system direct from the Touratech shop (�760/899 Euro), have a meal and a few beers, fly back home again and it would cost me less than getting it delivered from the UK distributor (�1025), plus I would have had a nice day out to boot! Work that one out...
