sounds like the bloke was confused.... or dyslexic... or stupid....

ahhh... suzi dealer... what can I say????

piss take, WT, Piss take!!!

I think 90% of sales people make shit up in there heads.... how else can you explain my boss????? :spudwhat:

Have to agree with you there. Maybe the dealer makes so much money that they don't need to sell many bikes. However the stupid option looks the most likely. I went into a couple of Honda dealers in the South Island and there were ready to almost bend over backwards to make a sale. I was most impressed

I've been in Vehicle sales for a few years now. One lesson I learned early on was that saying simply "I don't know" is a shit load better than telling a bunch of bullshit.
Better still My "line" is --Ya know what I really wouldn't have a clue-So lets find out together. -Ya actually gain their confidence by being honest.

yep cause u involve them in the process and you are bringing them across the fence onto the same side.

from a sales point of view, isn't everyone that comes in a potential customer??? why do most ignore people.... the bloke that sold me the duc couldn't be fucked... until I told him "I want it now".... at least ask if they need anything... don't ignore them and dont treat them like they know nothing... that might have been the case 20 years ago, but I'd like to think (hope) that people that go into a bike shop have done a little bit of research (I did)... we do have the net now... 20 years ago all you'd get was a brochure... from the bikeshop...

I bought a 2001 busa, NZ model from Colemans May last year, great bike. Had talked to many dealers trying to source a good one. None of them seemed to want to do a lot for me. Just bought a new blue/ black Canadian one (no Yoshis) in January off same guys. Did more research into it and found that there was no diff between NZ or Candian models. Even though this was the second bike i bought off them all i could get out of them was a tank sticker.

I probably would have bought the blue/silver if the yoshis were on it. i would prefer an NZ spec one though (they are $24k I think). the basic set up with factory cans though is just not attractive enough to me

I notice in the latest Motorcycle trader that Haldanes are advertising a Hayabusa with Yoshi's. The picture is of Blue & Silver one.

I hope you ride as fast as your mouth

Yes he does......almost

i've seen that ad in the bike point, but my understanding was that only the black/purple ones have the yoshis. the canadian ones have emission control devices over the NZ ones. i think they have a 280k limiter on them too. not much else really.
