I'm really impressed from what I read here about dealerships at the places you live, considering the population of these places . Here in a small island of about 55000 people( 25000 in the city + villages), 30 years ago EVERY brand had its exclusive official dealer. Now one big shop for bmw, honda, triumph, Harley, suzuki, ktm-husqvarna, mv-agusta, ducati, aprilia. Another for Yamaha, piaggio. Small ones Kawasaki, sym, kymco, benelli, brixton, and some Chinese brands. And numerous small round the corner doing all shops. We have a reputation here as bikers. You can literally see any bike you can imagine here. By the way my big shop friend is about to stop being official bmw dealer due to unreasonable demands of mother bmw..This is pure decadence to me like as in most other aspects of our lives. I think moto-auto brands (like governments?) start forgetting the Alfa and Omega of their business: the customer. Can we do anything? We are tied up...
