i like paragon here in wanganui. never been in there before, but a good friend recommended them. after having had a gutsful of crap service from the local 'zuki dealer, i bit the bullet and went to paragons. i ended up selling them the 'zuki, and have spent about $3000 there, with more to come.
they treated me good and with real respect too, plus done me good deals. i cant recommend them enough.

I recommend, HENDERSON MOTORCYLES in view road, henderson.

They have always given me good advice, and being small you get that feeling of better customer service.

A happy Colemans customer is just one who hasn't needed a problem fixed. If it weren't for the fact that modern bikes are damn near bullet-proof, Colemans would be out of business by now.

That website seems like a rip off of that one called 'No cowboys' ......

I wonder if anyone here in NZ (biking press) has ever deliberately set up a bike and taken it to a dealer (actually , several dealers) for servicing to see if that workshop actually spots the all the deliberate mal-adjustments etc. This ploy was used by Ride Magazine in the UK to sort out the men from the cowboys. Things like scratching a discreet mark on an oil filter to check that they dont just wipe it clean and re-use it... or loosening the odd bolt here an there...or deflating a tyre slightly... or over tightening a chain. The results were quite alarming and it certainly bucked a few peoples ideas up a bit.
Might work here too if certain dealers' workshops are, shall we say "a little slack."

The Phantom Shopper - you can use that method for nearly everything that concerns the consumer...it's a pity no one ever reverses the ploy.I'd love to see someone set up Fair Go or Target.Consumer Magazine has no letters to the editor - for good reason!
