    Yeah if you ored it through Suzuki NZ incorrectly and they haveit in stock...no issues, just send it back. But if they get it in special from Japan for you...you own it. The very reason I stopped road racing was by being unfairly burnt by KNZ whilst racing Kawasakis regarding the return of goods...but I won't bore you to tears with that one again. Cost me thousands of dollars they did.

    clearly you've never dealt with Italians, I used to service dishwashers including the one in the hutt valley prison, main board naffed, couldn't even order one from italy for over a month as they were on their summer holidays, not even an on call parts guy and the dishwasher was $150 k's worth, no matter that the whole prison system would no longer use that brand if they couldn't get service it still didn't seem to sway the Eyties.
    fact is too they may have had a run and simply not producing any more till the next batch, and then they have to ship it etc. Has anyone told the dude on here whose bikes not going that there's no need to hurry with it's repair???

    lol. That certainly brought me to an abrupt stop for sure mate! But I never took RR seriously after my time at Boyles. Never did the Nats ever again. Only dabbled from time to time to piss some of the others off and have a few laffs/beers with the peeps that still raced who I liked sharing beer and stories with.

    It sucks, but thats reality. Isn't Triumph NZ tied into prillia somehow. Theyre burglars.MHO

    I'm in love with the RSV4 but the price for trumpys and prillys over here is bonkers. $17K US, 34K NZ...go figure.

    I believe Beckhaus are official disti for the lot....and that's why I wouldn't touch an NEW Trumpy/Prilly/Husky/MV in NZ

    I had been lusting after a Tuono, but not if parts are that bad to get.

    Motorbike shop punished for sluggish repair:

    A motorbike shop in Auckland has been told to refund a customer for the full cost of his specialist Italian-made bike after it took three months to complete a repair...
    great find, thanks for that. I have downloaded a copy of the MVDT decision for research purposes.

    Suckers, should all just buy Hondas and you wouldn't need to worry about anything breaking down, and we could all live Gheyly and happily ever after, with flowers in our helmets.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Sure is. I'd never buy an Italian motorcycle after reading that piece.

    The issue here is that any franchise dealership is bound by their contract with the distributor of whatever line they're selling. It's the manufacturer that's covering the warranty on any new product and it's the manufacturer causing delays with replacement parts. Aprilia parts are well documented to be abysmal in terms of supply and backup within New Zealand, ask Hitcher how long he waited for warranty parts for his Shiver.

    The fact that the dealer is getting all the bad press in this instance is quite simply shithouse.

    They are in the best position to go back to the supplier and tell them that their underhanded tactics are damaging their brands reputation and putting off potential buyers.
