    On the other hand, Mossy linked to an R1100S that went for $2800 last week... Probably a bit quicker ;-)

    That is a fucken spastic comparison.

    I've got a GSX-R750 in the shed that cost a grand. It will smash either the scooter or the beemer, but my 16 year old daughter can't commute to work on two of the three, or get brand new vehicle warranty on them.

    Pretty big outfit is the Warehouse, with a strong returns policy. I somehow doubt they're importing them to sell without warranty.

    Aren't Aprilia brought in by Triumph NZ? Would rather buy from someone getting them new overseas.

    Those "Aprilia" SR50s are frikkn notorious for reliability issues.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    just checked the dealer list and it only looks like the warehouse are selling them online - you pick the bike up from the dealer

    Didn't say they wouldn't warranty. Im just interested to know if this is arranged through NZ importer that supplies bike shops or is parallel import. The Warehouse will know its obligations but are they going to use authorised agents for repairs or is it an instant exchange on failures. Just curious. Love to know what bike shops think about it.

    In Christchurch pickup is at First European

    I wonder if you get the same service (or even worse) when going in to pick up something you bought through The Warehouse?

    The Aprilia agents are the collection points so in that case they will be the service agents also. I find this interesting.
    I remember The Warehouse getting AEG appliances and the existing shops unable to sell what was a top Euro brand because of the change in perception of the product.

    Wonder how many scooters The Warehouse have?
