Manawatu Rant n Rave

[NZsarge]

anza dont do service! they make eough money out of inflated prices and high interest rates

To be fair, Andrew in parts does do service but as for the rest of them... meh..

go back to looking at the R6!

At least that has a full motor............

675 are ok bikes for hooning round on. Wouldnt really like to travel any distance on one.

Would'nt want to do too big of a distance on a R6 either, very track focused bike.

While I do have a soft spot for Yamaha's, ass-sex just sounds gay!

Well if you're gonna say it with an Australian accent everything sounds gay....

yeh get a CBR600RR (have they added any more Rs to the new ones?) instead, think the new ones may come out with ABS, look fookin mint too

Nope, Kawasaki ZX6R..

[cowboyz]

ok.. Ill give you that one.. when they did my headset bearings the workshop was really good.

sales staff was more where that comment was pointing at though.

i wasnt talking about the comfort! I was talking about the ammount of time out of the house and the chance of someone seeing you on it.. Would prefer to be seen on a yamaha that a Triumph!

Think someone's feeling blue/green. Would you like me to bring the ute around, load up your bike and drive you around on it? I'm sure we could tie it down in such a way that you could still move the bars.

Would be almost like the real thing!

Nope, Kawasaki ZX6R..

hmmm, nah, stick with the honda, I love what they've done with the exhaust, no SSSA though does have ABS (optional) and electronic steering damper.

[cowboyz]

welll when you put them side by side the choice becomes obvious huh? green for the win!

And coupled with the cost of after market pipes every harley rider gets,they're laughing all the way to the bank,especially as the stats say the over 40 guys getting back into riding want a harley,and these guys are supposed to be intelligent lawyers,accountants,docs,vets,teachers etc,shows they aint too bright buying harleys.

Sure in each business there are tyre kickers,but out of the last 10 times on entering Anza,I have been acknowledged once or twice.My first day in retail in 1986 the boss said say high to each customer.Contrast that to City Honda or AFC,each time in there I have been acknowledged,ok more so at AFC,but it is the way they create repeat trade.Wuld I buy from AFC,City Honda definately;from Anza maybe(if trade in,bike to buy is ok,and I was approached).Mate who bought a new fat boy last year nearly had to prise the sales guy out of his chair to get service,no trade and cashed up,he nearly carried onto Wellington.

My humour,be about 16000km,wasn't going to change it but thought wtf and did it,hard to say how much tread left,due to the front being near bald on one side I wasn't to keen on taking it too quick through twistys to reshape the profile,about 2-3mm on edge.

[specter]

Did you get acknowledged in Anza,I like the Sprint in htere,but no bastard wanted to ask me if I needed help,plus they don't deal in jappas,although they had an SV,maybe they have changed since my last look 2 months ago.

nearly shat myself! took less than a minute for a guy to come over to talk to me... and he walked past a couple of harley riders!

hmmm, nah, stick with the honda, I love what they've done with the exhaust, no SSSA though does have ABS (optional) and electronic steering damper.

noooo way man.. too flat faced! like a pug.... wouldnt go near one

[specter]

both great looking bikes!
triumph is less of a hassle to get and has more usable power, but the yammie is my dream bike!!
my mind is fucked on this one!

[bogan]

they both got over a hundy ponies don't they, plenty useable everywhere I reckon! The R6 is a pretty sweet looking peice of kit too I gotta admit. Replace that orrible muffler asap though
