How Many Dealerships Are There in YOUR Area For New Bikes?

[Delvard]

....And what are they like? Here in Plymouth there's a nice Yamaha dealership and a sell everything but "ooohpleasepleasebuyasuzukixxx" kind of place. Thats pretty much it. I've got to leave the county to find the nearest Kawasaki dealership.
Any better for you?

Most of the dealerships around here specialise in the smaller Marques.

The two dealers closest to me are an Aprilia Dealer and the other is a Cagiva/Peugeot/Hyosung/Sachs/MBK Dealer.

There used to be a Suzuki dealer and a Honda/Kawasaki/Yamaha/Aprilia/Suzuki/Ducati Dealer but they both closed down.

[JonB]

My nearest town Taunton has a Yamaha, Suzuki, Piaggio, Kawasaki and Derbi Dealer ship.

Plymouth is about 80 miles away if you need to find a Kawasaki dealership.

An "exotica" dealership a couple of miles down the road from home, don't go in there much any more.

A suzuki/honda/yamaha/kawasaki/ducati/aprilia and probably some other stuff place 200 yards from work.

Assorted other stuff in a 10 mile radius of each.

[Sheepy1209]

Here in Blackpool there's one dealer who does Suzuki, Kawasaki, Ducati and CCM, and a dealer in Fleetwood with Aprilia and Yamaha franchises.

At the moment Honda bikes are sold by the car dealer, but I think there's changes afoot there.

Personally I don't like this all makes under one roof approach - if you don't like their service you've got to go out of town.

I've got a fair few in the area.

Just up the road from me I've got a 2 bike shops, one that's a KTM dealer and the other deals in Agusta and Buells

I've got P&H in Brighton and in Crawley, which deal with Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki and pretty much everything else.

Theres a Honda dealer in Hastings (JS Scetch).

A triumph dealer in Worthing, so quite well covered.

there are 8 in bristol that i know of, and about 3 in bath. from hondas to ducatis. i live in between both cities (5 miles either way) so it aint too bad for new bikes. however, they have virtually no selection of used bikes really.

[Milo]

Same as Wave2k for me, but he forgot "South London Motorcycles" - the BMW place up in Caterham.

Have a look at J&S in Plymouth. The one in New Malden have started to move onto big bikes, and they are getting pretty much all makes in!

Infinity Farnborough - Sell Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Aprillia. I would not touch them with a barge poll. A very pressurized sales room. Servicing.... look at Ste. I am cautious of clothes sales but would buy them. In short, go elsewhere for bikes and servicing.

[MarkyPancake]

George White is the main one and they supply Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Honda. They have new and used bikes and a clothing and accessories section.

There is a smaller dealer called Artdeans that supply Suzuki and lesser known brands (to me anyway). They have new and used bikes and a clothing and accessories department on the top floor.
