Boyd Honda? The rumour is true...?

[Sidewinder]

yup it is.

i was in boyds today asking greg about it again and they have signed the contract for suziki and KTM.
they are leaving honda on the 31st of this month then they are taking up there new products, and will be called boyd motorcylces.

see some things people say are true.

just like the mormon few own!!!

For those who like to read English this post translates as;

Boyd Honda in Hamilton, located on Te Rapa Straight, have signed the contract to sell Suzuki and KTM motorcycles. They're leaving the Honda image on the 31st and will be from then on selling their new products. Obviously this will have to induce a name change, so from thereon they will be known as "Boyd Motorcycles".

It is no longer a rumour.

[Quasievil]

I would question that based on the source, Honda have a single bike brand policy as far as Im aware, well thought they did.
If they are taking on Suzuki fair enough, no money in it so good luck to em!

Hmm, good point, but I think what Jeremy is saying is actually true - and I think they may be leaving Honda all together, if I've managed to actually correctly translate what he's saying. Forgive me if I got it wrong... It's hard to read idiot at times.

Oops, did I write that? Terribly sorry.

But no, I have heard from other people this is the case, they're taking on Suzuki (didn't hear about KTM though) since the place next door dropped them in favour to become more HD based.

[Livvy]

And there's another one. It seems they have decided to leave the Honda business. Guess we might have to go ask ourselves though...

What?????

I thought you had a job?
Boyd Honda may want a clean up boy.

[tri boy]

So the next perplexing puzzle, is, who will pick up the Honda franchise?
Maybe one of the smaller Waikato franchises will move to Hamilton ie OtroHonda, EconoHonda.
Either way, good luck to Boyds. They have excellent staff, and offer good deals.:yes:

PS. Skiddy wouldn't last five minutes at Boyds. Either John, or Gen would would turn him into a quivering mess in a corner.

Honda don't have a one bike policy - CHCH has Casbolts with Honda and those Ducati things, Otago Honda has Triumph as well.

Probably have a one Jap bike policy (obviously HONDA) - after all what's the bloody point of having a lesser product on the floor. :cool:

[Waylander]

So are they semi-merging with Road and Sport then or is R$S dropping suzuki for harley/buell only?

[tri boy]

I could be a mile of base here, but I think this may prove to be a very cunning move by Boyds.
Honda has started to cease importing bikes that suit NZ conditions in some cases. ie XRL's, smaller cheaper dualies etc.
KTM is fast improving it's exposure and product line up, and Suzuki seem to have a good range, and aggressive pricing to move stock, which means parts move also. Combine this with Boyds very good after market products and tyre pricing, and the makings of improved earnings become obvious.
The one negative may be the loss of Honda Quad sales and service, but that will remain to be seen.

[NighthawkNZ]

There will be far more sales of suzuki bikes.
The riders crash more of them so the chances of the rider coming back and buying another one are quite good.

[TerminalAddict]

i believe honda "red carpet" dealers have a one brand policy.

not a loss,
Suzuki has out sold honda in quads for the last 2 years, and have a huge pricing and range advantage at the moment


i wish Greg and his team all the best for thier new endevour, they have always been one of the best shops in the country, i doubt weather that will change

[Sidewinder]

you are right, and the workshop will have heaps of busenes from all the suzikis that crap out

suziki also has a range of kids quads which honda doesnt have but suziki has a crap range of kids of road bikes,

[Sidewinder]

anyway is it always what a deelership sells or is it the team that works there that makes you go there?

myself ill probly end up getting some shit suziki like a sv or gaysexr600 just because i know thoes cunts are going to look after me and my bike aslong as we both live

All the best Greg, & thanks for the spin on the MT01 on sat-de... very cool

[Blackbird]

Always found Boyd's workshop service beyond reproach, but front of house service pretty indifferent, that's why I used to go to Road and Sport for accessories. Guess I'm going to have to find two new providers now. Also guess with the imminent house move to Coromandel, I'd probably be better off going to someone like Botany Honda for a full service.

[Robbo]

Boyds have still been one of the best bike shops that i have ever delt with. Greg, Glen and John in particular are all great guys. I wish them well in what ever direction they choose to go in. I am sure that their service will always remain the best.
Good Luck Guys

[Oldfulla]

so with such a major change, surely there has to be a bit of fanfair to go with it, along with some good specials to lunch the new product range. mite be a good time to get a good deal on a new bike.

A heavily discounted new KTM 690adv would make me smile. :innocent:

It must be true.

Got the official Suzuki Letter in the post today.

Dear Valued Suzuki Customer ... BLah Blah Blah....Road n Sport "OUT" :finger::headbang:.... Thank Christ for that!!!............ Boyd Motorcycles "IN":niceone:... Blah Blah Blah.

Hope they are better than the last looser.:yes:

Saw a Super Duke on a trailer pull into the drive entrance to the workshop.
KTM open day maybe?:scooter:
Road n Toad looks very quiet lately...................

[tri boy]

Popped down to check out the bikes.
They have a good range of SXC's, motocrossers there at the moment.
No 690 Adv though:(
They don't have any plans to get one either, oh well, will try and get a ride at the CCA end of month.:cool:

[Mental Trousers]

A big improvement in the customer service area for Suzuki that's for sure. Will be interesting to see the Boyd Motorcycles shed at the next race day. Wonder what Lyndon is going to do with that F3 racer he built out of his CRF ....

Hi mate. Must have been you I was speaking to on Sat. I had the 690SM outside Boyds.
Love the look of that road in your profile pic. Where is it ????
If your Triumph can get through there I think my 690 might have a chance :niceone:

[tri boy]

It's the Kawhia Rd between Te Mata, and Kawhia. (the closed road with a slip on it).
Turn towards Bridal Veil Falls, pass the falls car park, keep going, road turns to gravel then there's a slip. Go back about 200mtrs to a gate, and cross the paddock/stream crossings (two) which gets you on the other side of the slip.
The second crossing is slimy, so take care.
Check out "newby Kawhia thread in Adv forum.:niceone:

[DougB]

Called in to Boyd M/C and asked about a Suzuki accessory.
The young lad could not have been more helpful. He took my name and phone number and rang me back next day with all the details. I had asked the same question at Road and Sport about a month ago and the attendent found the item listed but did not help by finding out the price etc. Could not care less.
I am considering buying it from Boyds even tho I can get it $50 cheaper from USA (that includes freight). Not having to pay GST makes a difference.
