European bike dealer support?

[Gary54]

After many years overseas, coming back to NZ and will get myself either BMW 1200R, Breva 1100, Ducati GT1000 or now suddenly getting interested in Morini 9 1/2.

Will decide which one to get after riding the ones I haven't tested yet, but would like opinions/advice on what I could expect from dealers regarding support and parts etc with these different brands. It seems some of the Italian companies/dealers not so motivated?

Will be Auckland/ Waikato or BOP area

Thanks,
Gary

What? No one interested in putting down some experiences good and bad?

Don't have to put down Dealer's names

Just want to know which brands are easiest to keep running regarding parts and support.

What's wrong with a GSXR?

Gary,

my other bike is a Ducati, quite happy with sales, service and parts guys at Hamilton M/Cycles.
Sales approach was relaxed, parts guys have gone out of their way a couple of times.

I had a crap run with my Guzzi but when the shit hit the fan Mt Eden Motorcycles came through for me. i can't comment on any of the other dealers as in the past i have done most of my own maintenace.
all this computer shit is making that hard now days.

Hey Gary, can recommend Hamilton Motorcycles on Te Rapa Road for BMW Ducati and Triumph. Go visit them and have a look around.
Cheers

I've had dealings with Henry at Experience BMW,good guy and good service,I'd recommend them.

MultiMan, when you say crap run with the Guzzi, what sort of problems are there? I've never owned an Italian bike, love riding other people's though, and dealers keep telling me the days of unreliable Guzzis, Ducatis etc are over, but looks otherwise reading here.
