Its official!!!
Motomart is now a Honda dealer.

Dont have any new bikes yet, but should have in store real soon.

MMMMMMM
You think this is a good time to butter them up for a new CBR600RR race bike???

But dont worry, Sawyers are still Honda too!
All is good!

Nothing wrong with Honda's mate!
Actually... My first dogs name was Honda! (for real!)

Still got the KTM's and Duc's, just got to add these to the pile too.
Just not Husky dealers anymore.
I think Maidstone Yamaha is going to take them on.

So Clive Cooper-Smith has finally relented on his demand for single franchise shops then after all the fuss he had with Sawyers when they took on Yamaha. Wellington went without Hondas altogether until he gave in - I know WT would have loved that but given how overseas most Honda shops are multifranchise like any other dealership it was a dumb policy by Blue Wing Honda. The market still isn't big enough here to support single franchise shops as far as I can see.

As long as they start stealing some space in the SBK......

Cool, a Honda dealer just down the road.

You're on the money there, Merv. What's REALLY stupid, have you seen any other brand used car on a Honda lot?

Nothing wrong with having another dealer to source quality bikes from, eh.

Yeah, Dukes need more floor space because they're disposable kinda bikes. They only last a few months before ya need a new one, so the shop needs to hold more stock

Basically both Motomart and Sawyers could do with better locations - you are both in bastards of places on busy streets - and that ramp down at Motomart is a classic, so can't you talk the boss into big new premises to house all the top models?

Tell ya what.

Everytime I dirve past it I think the old Superior Springs location in Seaview would be the mutts nutts for a bike shop.

If I win powerball, that's what I'll be doing.

It's my idea, so fuck off you vultures....
