    If a local dealer could not supply the bike you wanted and you got it from another dealer would they get there nose out of joint and spit the dummy?

    They may do, but it's the only way they will learn to give people what they want.

    Why would you go without what you want for the sake of a dealer? Sure the local will get over it. Can they not get the bike across for you?

    I went to the other side of the city for my last car as they did it 4k cheaper, Gave my local the option of matching but they didn't so they now only get to do the servicing.

    Servicing is a big part of the business so local dealer should still be happy. If they can't get the right bike at the right price that's something they need to deal with, not you!

    Screw the dealer they couldnt give 2 shits about you unless your handing over cash! Remember they are just a business not your mate!

    If they can't give you what you want what the hell do they have to get angry about? You went to them first, they dropped the ball.

    Agree with all the above comments - it is your money and you can spend it where you like on what you like. As was said above they will get the earner from the servicing costs.

    tell them you are thinking of getting it elsewhere (but would have preferred getting though them)

    I agree, Dealers should show more respect to their customers, some but not all think they know it all. I know of somebody that got abused by a dealer and that was after a bike purchase from them, how low can you get. As for service departments they  are only as good as there techs.

    Purchased my last ride from interstate. My local dealer services my ride and sells me parts just the same as if I had purchased the ride from them. Gave them first chance but 3k is 3k.
