I believe you are looking for a decent dealer to purchase a motorcycle, namely a Kawasaki 1400GTR?
Can't help you there but am sure others will chime in. :banana:
first place to visit is here, ask for Brian, tell him Roger sent you :yes:

When into you know who on the hill and it was a case of ... demo ride ? NO CHANCE !😕We don't even have one in stock ..kawasaki will direct you to the dealer were ever that may be .
WTF do they wanna sell bikes or not ..
Was the same 10 yrs ago me an me pal wanted test rides on the pan .. possible 22k worth of sale ... we went else were .
So will give em a ring about December 😊
i have bought two bikes from MCO in the past and I can assure you that they do want to sell bikes, not only that but they actually do sell them, jn fact they sell lots
It will be difficult for any dealer to offer you a test ride on any bike that they don't have in stock :mfr_lol:
I test rode a GTR at MCO before purchasing
With regard to Kawasaki Autorama, they too are very keen to sell bikes and are very successful at doing so :smiley:
OOPS I was meaning M&S in Newcastle --not M.C.O --- Trying to get test rides oop north is a bugger only Triumph and Yamaha oblige

that does not surprise me ,tried to buy my last zzr 1400 from them way too expensive ,that's why I bought from mco, my mate went into the one on the hill to buy a new 1000 versy. he was given a price to buy it for cash, then went back to do the deal and they upped the priced by £600,he didn't argue just walked and bought a versys from tilston in Stockton, he is very happy with his purchase , they had a good selection of bikes in stock and all of there bikes were immaculately clean ,maybe worth a visit !! good luck..
Yep that sounds familiar Keith ..oh well there loss.. I have booked a test ride (purely for Mrs WoOk. ..) at Autorama in Batly.
We had a new 2009 gtr14 rode it for 20k in the 1st year ..then STOOPID Me sold it.
And if ah test ride at a dealers that's were I will buy it ... loyalty counts ..well to me it does 😊😊

I bought 2 bikes, 2015 ZZR in 2015 and then my current 2016 GTR from MCO in Wigan, really good trade in prices without seeing my bikes and they delivered to Dorset, my only comment would be on both occasions they failed to deliver within the agreed time and i had to wait much longer for both bikes, but not an issue if your not impatient, unlike me. I dealt with Tom.
:mfr_lol: Tom Dorset is a bugger to get a van too :mfr_lol: aye Wigan is a bit further than ah want to go .. My female offspring lives in Harrogate so bringing the bike down to Batley for any mechanicals is no probs coz ah can stay with her if needs be (meens ah escape the snapdragon for the night :mfr_lol:).
In the main I do most of my own work but age and haveing broke me neck kinda stops you doing some stuff .
On top of which if a dealer sells me a bike and it's a good deal/service etc I do send em my work 😊
But thanks for the heads up much appriciation 😊...

What about a second hand one with loads of extras? Bargain :smiley:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=162166225781#ht_904wt_1402
2nd hand may be an option --say 12 months old and under 6k miles but to be honest not really a fan of used bikes -- nope am deffo NOT a snob --SLOB mebbees but not a snob :-)
I always ask meself --was this engine bedded in - has it had its neck wrung since day 1 -- has it been badly farkled [ you don't know until ya gets the panels off -- and its nice to think that Mrs Wooks cute Bum is the 1st on me pillion :-) ok pervy --but ah divvent care LMAO.
And you cant beat the WOOOHOOO factor of rideing a spanka [NO not that sort of SPANKING O.C !!] outta the showroom

I haven't any idea what you mean :whistling: :mfr_lol:
I never buy new. I let somebody else take the hit on depreciation. Mylatest one immaculate with 1500 miles when I bought it(2000 now). Still under warranty and a big saving on a new one.
I see that Autorama have a lovely Black 2015 GTR with top box and sat nav mount plus what look like new tyres £10.995.00 :clap:
Get yer wallet out
http://www.kawasaki-autorama.com/used-bikes.aspx
Yep ah low O.C .. Thats the one am testrideing
Hopefully ... the thing is ah WON'T be ready to buy till January earliest .. have BIG surgery on me innards to go thru and Jan is physically and financial is when I can pull the trigger ... also the insurance is due March ..already looked at changing cover early and AXA underwriters would not cover on existing policy .. so there is a LOT of things in the mix .
Haveing said that .... on the bike at Autorama if now was Jan it would now be residing near the coast 😊😊😊😊
Good luck with the surgery, ...maybe Brian at Autorama can sort something out for you, he really is a good bloke :yes:
Cheers buddy ..yeah that thought is on the table .. gonna take the tiggur down .. fully dressed etc and we'll ah MAY not bring her home 😊😊😊
Just have to wait an see 😊😊
One way or another a GTR WILL be in me cave for spring 😊😊😊😊
Good thinking Wookie :clap: :clap:

I took my bike into Autorama on Monday for some 'repairs' and the only GTR they had in was a brand new silver coloured one if that helps :wink:
they had a 2015 Black GTR which I believe now resides in wookies garage :yes:

Excellent.
Good these 2015 bikes.
Fellas control ya selves .. an orf to the Autorama on Saturday .. watch this space lol but ah won't be pulling the trigger till the turn of the year :wink:
But like ah said one way or another a NEW or nearly low mileage GTR WILL be in me cave ..now calm down dear lmao 😄😄😄
Wheels at Peterborough is where I've bought Peter's ex from.
He part exchanged it and I've bought it!
Pick it up September 1st.
I got a phone call yesterday from them because for some reason they thought I was picking it up today, they said it wouldn't quite be ready for me (today) as they are putting a new disc on the rear and they're waiting for it.
That tells me one thing (two if you include that it tells you they don't keep a stock of GTR rear discs!). What it tells me is that they are being thorough with the service and preparation. Considering that I've already paid a deposit and agreed a price, they are still prepared to spend money on it for the customer.
And they give a lifetime warranty if they do the servicing!
So in my opinion, a good experience from them up til now!
Can't say fairer than that!

They'll hold a bike for you :wink:, I went to look at a bike just after Christmas and it had just sold, they have literally just delivered it to its new owner last Friday, he was having a new house built and didn't want it until it was finished.
Good luck on Saturday, see if you can have a look and see how mine looks :cry:
