Its advertised in store as "coming soon BMW Motorrad dealership" at M&P Swansea.
Got all excited when I saw the heading as Sytner recently bought out the Swansea BMW car dealership, and I thought they might have decided to expand into bikes.
Been reluctantly dealing with M&P since the 1980's ( my nearest Bike shop ), and although the owner Mark is a nice guy, as a dealership they are pretty rubbish.
Most recent visit last month was for a motorcross type bike lift (12 shown in stock on website) and a 4.00 X 18 inner tube. Came away empty handed after being told by the staff that there was a at least a 6-8 week wait for the bike lift (coming direct from China apparently) and they don't stock anything larger than 3.50 X 18 inner tubes as there is no call for them.
Had a look at their new KTM dealership on the way out, only to find it was nearly all super-moto's with one Adventure tucked in the back - Think I'll still be travelling to England when I need a Motorrad dealership!

I live about 5 mins away, so I’m in there at least once or twice a week picking up service parts for various bikes, I’ve found them nothing but helpful.

you'd think they would be paid more per hour based on what customers get charged...

I was told yesterday that as well as BMW, which is opening in May, M&P are also opening a Ducati shop, i wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a Triumph dealer opening locally, Touratech are apparently connected with the Triumph off road school in the Swansea valley.
I see they've just received their first new BMW demonstrator, ready for the forthcoming "open weekend".
