Holeshot

[marty]

what a laugh! into holeshot today to look at a 'busa. no black and purple ones left (with the carbon yoshis) - only a blue/silver, and a red one.

i ask - 'how come the black/purple ones had yoshis, and the blue/silver & red ones don't?'

'oh that's cause the black/purple ones are canadian spec, and were a cheaper buy' they say

'but this blue/silver one, and the red one, both have canadian spec stickers on the frame' i say

'oh not sure about that' they say

'so the HP on this one is down on the NZ spec one?' i say

'will you ever use that extra HP?' they say

'that's not the point' i say. 'i don't use all the HP on the TL either, but it's not about that. so i take it, that as this blue/silver one is canadian spec, like the black/purple ones, they were obviously obtained at the same price, so i could get this blue/silver one with slip on carbon yoshis?'

'no' they say.

'ok thanks, bye!' i say, taking my deposit with me.

Lack of good customer service walks another buyer out the door... salesman are just stupid.

Something Suzuki do a lot of. I understand that a lot of their special deals are structured that way. The same was with their SV's last year. You could get the Yoshi's on the bronze ones but not the blue ones.

I would think that the rules are set by Suzuki NZ, not holeshot.

WT- an educated opinion please?

I think Marty set the rules in this game and walked away the winner.

But he didn't walk away with a bike....is the seller more interested in selling...or the buyer more interested in buying - that is the question.

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

[speedpro]

In my current situation I'm not that fussy. The only exhaust I'd really like on a 'busa is of the rotary hair dryer-like variety.

ok so which bike shops do we like out there ??? i have bought bikes from nearly all of them in auckland and a couple in hamilton ,, the best service i got was from "road and sport" in hamilton ,, rode down there every time for a service ,, most recent bike was bought from red baron ,, seemed like nice enough and helpful ,, especially the service department ,,

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:

probably the biggest reason i walked out was because i was given the impression that the blue/silver was NOT canadian spec, when it obviously was. it probably doesn't really matter in the big picture, but i don't like to be mislead.

Good stuff for walking away, that kind of shit just pisses me off.
At least they could have talked about puuting cans on it.
