pidcocks have stopped selling husqvarna

[mikeyboy]

i was passing pidcocks today and i popped to see if they had a 650 ,no bikes.when i asked the sales chap he blamed it on spares avaliabilty and said they(piddys) had dropped them

Shows when I last went in, I didn't know they had started selling them?

I'm surprised as 1) I'd have thought that now the were owned by WBM that sort of thing would no longer be an issue and 2) I'd have thought that there would be some sort of requirement to carry them as a MBW dealer? Still, what do I know ;-)

In a way I'm quite pleased, I really like Huskies and am looking to get another 610 this year. Part of the appeal is you don't see many. Heaven forbid they should become more mainstream by having proper dealer support ;-)

i dont think they sold them for long,maybe 10months or a year!they had a 630sm,and a few smaller enduro models in the showroom ,and a nuda on demo last time i popped in . i was interested to look at the terra 650 to see if it was basically a rebadged sertio with suspension

There seems to be a different dealer for each part chester bmw have the nuda and 125 off road but cant stock the enduro range as a&d in denbigh have the contract think it will change over the next couple of years though

I saw one in Bahnstormers last week - they have engine tweaks too, the power figures are quite a bit better than the Sertao and the plastics are different.

was only passing and i would not buy one just wanted a looksee and a sit.its just that the weight figures for both bikes are v similar and i think husqvarna/bmw have missed the point with this bike,it should be in direct competion with a ktm not a sertio.so another 10 bhp and 20 kg lighter
