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? |

QUOTE(jaycee1 @ Sep 6 2022, 09:57 AM) Thats normal. Thanks for all your comments. I'm contemplating getting either a used Honda Rebel or Kawasaki Vulcan S or a stretch, a HD Street 750. I presume these are big bikes, and for my parting with my money, as a potential customer I will definitely ask more questions hence I'll really appreciate a bit of courtesy. Maybe I should just do a research and rank these shops in terms of ruder power. 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".   |

QUOTE(ThE DaReDeViL @ Sep 6 2022, 10:37 AM) Argh, no HD please... Haha... Maybe I'm just biased, but I do have handful of friend feeling the same too.. Mostly I've seen tend to live in their own universe, or maybe they think they are more atas than other riders.. Hardly can see HD mixing ride with other bikes... Usually they just ride in their own HD group.. And many got attitude problems, at least that's what I see and feel la... That's a great observation on HD owners. Frankly whatever bike I get, I don't intend to join any "gang" and go riding with them. At best, I'll go for a cruise by myself or with my partner. Maybe by doing that, some will see me as ATAS too  Back to the topic, have anyone dealt with iCity in Shah Alam? They have a few Vulcan S and Rebel and pricing seems OK with RM1K of macam-macam stuff for customers to choose be it services or accessories This post has been edited by re992: Sep 6 2022, 11:51 AM |

QUOTE(Dreadlock13 @ Sep 6 2022, 01:17 PM) Yeah they are. 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. Only one with official dealership would tone down their attitude. Some don't even want to service you if you plan to buy a bike with cash. Some even push for more money if you want to buy a bike from them 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 |
