Old news really but after being a Honda dealer for something like 60 years Tippetts had been forced out unceremoniously in March.
I dropped into see them this week. Now sporting the customary perspex screens on the desks they're back up and running again:

I'll not apologise for the shameless plug given they've been selling and servicing motorbikes in some fashion for over a century. Very shortsighted on Honda's part. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Honda seem to want to go down the route of the big car dealerships. Ford in Cobham is a great example: clean & clinical corporate decor, all the sales people suited & booted. In other words completely soulless
The dictates from Honda: "this sort of flooring, that colour of desks..." so-called "improvements" that run into 6 figures. Ironically, based just on the numbers, Tippetts historically sold the most bikes when it was just sawdust on the floors ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I don't want to say Honda don't know marketing - like it or not they changed the world with "you meet the nicest people on a Honda" - but ignoring history and sales figures seems an exercise in shooting out both feet ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 4 years ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
