Apart from the ABS unit nothing failed on mine in 6 years. I'd be twitchy about buying one without the BMW warranty though....
Seems £15k is as low as they go for a 2020 bike. The yanks were throwing in a Yoshi can for a while, wonder if Suzuki will do that over here? Feckers did a couple of weeks after I bought my K6 .
Too far away from me. I don't like buying a bike from one dealer, and turning up for servicing at another.
I’m with you on this tbh. I’ve paid more for new Ducati’s and BMW from local than further away. Imho local support is two ways: they need to squeeze you in, they tend to help more IME
There's a Suzuki dealer 15 minutes from me, I've known them donkeys years. They're still around because they're straight with people. I wouldn't have the neck to turn up with a Suzuki from miles away. Call me old fashioned if you like.
If business owners are straight, honest and genuine, whilst being efficient, then they will never go out of business, if smart with their books and save for rainy days. But business is business and if the locals aren’t cheaper with the dealers 300+ miles away, then unlucky sunshine..... My last 2 bikes, bought without seeing (after doing Due Diligence on Companies House, Google, name of owner), sent to my house and serviced locally for ease. In fact, I’ve had the Suzuki a month and I haven’t even ridden it yet. With the “buy local and take local” mentality, will only cost you in the long run. That mentality is long gone and for the better of your own wallet, I’d say. That’s like accepting your automatic insurance renewal as the cheapest quote......
I can see Bradders is the kind of person who, when out with friends at a restaurant, by the time he’s decided what to eat on the bastard menu, there will be no fossil fuel left.....
I bought her indoors a brand new Fiesta ST through a broker 6 years ago. Had the choice of the supplying Ford dealer being 250 miles away, and the car turning up on a transporter. Or for an extra £100 picking it up in person from a Ford Dealer 15 miles away. I'm tight, but not that fooking stingy.
Totally true mate. Unfortunately it means I also normally pay Stage one bike being collected tomorrow....stage 2 a gen 3 will be picked up when prices drop over winter
There's a 0 mile pre registered 2020 R for £13.5 in a nearby dealers, I can't be doing with white though.
