I'm new to bikes. Got my B licence recently and I'm looking to purchase a bike. I was looking at different bike shops and what they offer and I noticed a lot of the bike shops have really bad reviews with words like rude, tak kisah, take money and no more good sales rapport etc. This is especially so among the bike shops in Klang Valley.

Is this a normal industry trend in the bike selling business?

Thats normal.

You'd only get good service from official distributor dealers. They have a brand to look after.

I find those that sell many different brands tends not to be bothered. Probably because for big bikes, a lot of riders probably just window shopping and not buying. I personally find Eang Chun pretty decent, happy to entertain questions. I suspect part of this is also due to them focusing a lot more on smaller kapchais and scooters where they may have a higher chance of a quick sale and higher profit margins. Big bike customers typically need " a bit more work".

I assume that all bikes are the same, all customers are the same...follow their rules in buying, talk less, take loan and whatever sales tactics in order to earn more commission.

Time for me to visit a few shops and see for myself.

I'll start with some shops in Shah Alam and PJ since it is closest to my home.

iCity
Kapar Motors
Hiap Aik Speed motor
Sim Motors

There was a thread on iCity not too long ago. Maybe you can search for it. Let's just say it wasn't too rosy.

An associate of mine gets his bikes from Sim motor..seems pretty decent. But that guy changes bikes like we change underware. In the past 2 years he has gone through 5 bikes. So he definately will get better service.

YMMV.
