Scott (forum member) from Mr Motorcycles seems to look after people here good, but his shops in Pukekohe but if your like me and used to buying online or over the phone instead of spending time traveling to bike shops thats not a problem. Thats where I tend to get my stuff if I need something from a shop.

MR motorcycles are having a big sale tomorrow (wednesday) and lots of things should be cheap, ad says 10-50% off everything
might be worth having a look it you can get there

yea, one of the shit things about auckland is allthough you can get anything, from anywhere and you have so much choice, it takes so long to get to the shop of your preference. its much easier to just get stuff sent out unless its gear or something where you need to go and try things on or whatever.
im in gisborne and use mr motorcycles for the majority of bike stuff i purchase

Cycle treads in Takapuna (north shore) is all good. I've bought most my gear and all my parts from there.

Scott is the man for most things. But if its a Honda dealer you need, try Botany or Wildwest. Scott should be able to get you just about anything for your bike though.

Also new to Auckland and being a honda Man I was using Botany honda but they can rest assure they won't be seeing me there again. Rude and arrogant pricks everytime i've been in there. I'd rather deal with Boyd motorcycles for anything that isn't urgent OR even a suzuki dealer than go back to Botany:spanking:

for some reason the aklnd honda dealers are like that, well some anyway, cyclespot are the same, offroad mcs used to mint b4 they closed down, have heard good things bout wild west honda tho.

i had good service from wild west when i lived in auckland, but they were a pain to get to. and for some reason freight always took overnight from them to the shore.

Stuffed me round on a few occasions. Can't really be bothered getting into specifics but certainly won't be getting my business haha.
