Is this true, or Fake News?

True......

Interesting. Plus I see that Spectrum Kawasaki is for sale - I hope this doesn't mean that they're struggling too...

At last some of their prices might become reasonable!

all of them or just a branch somewhere?

I noticed them having a sale on TradeMe with big price drops and my first thought was - closing.

Always sad when a shop closes down.

phew, the Welly guys are excellent to deal with, both Parts and Service (haven't bought a new bike from them yet)

**Scubbo** · 16th November 2018, 19:32

maybe thats why the auckland one is closing, parts service / responses are non-existant... cant be much coin in selling new bikes, surely its all about markup made from selling 2nd hand imports and servicing eh welllllllllllllll rich neighborhood to have a store too overheads must be huge...

Jimmy told me the Wellington dealership bought stock down from the Auckland store. They might have to buy direct now, which could be an opportunity to bring in different brands.
