I entered the official Suzuki UK sites this week and there is a big banner almost over the whole screen on the main page inviting for a test ride day with special offers on different dates at different dealers (http://www.suzuki-gb.co.uk/onroad/ banners rotates so if you would not see it immidiately, give it few seconds or refresh the page). So I checked out the schedule and found a dealer who is fairly close to me and runs this event this Sunday (http://www.suzuki-gb.co.uk/dealers/detail.php?id=000266).
So I picked up the phone to ask some more details about terms and conditions of the test ride and to book it but when I told the guy on the phone his response was "what? we are closed on Sunday." LOL ![]() ![]() He then said that they are happy for me to come for a test ride some other times when they're open. So we talked about it, about terms and conditions and then I asked how is their insurance, what would happen if I would crash it on the test ride. If I would be obliged to pay for it or if their insurance will cover it. His response was "Why would you crash it? You would go for a test ride, not a race" ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Did anybody attended this event at some dealer this year so far? How does it look like and how good are those promotions on bikes which they mention on the site? |

I went to one in Maidstone a few weeks ago, not interested in a wet test ride, but they advertised a ''Huge Range of Suzuki clothing'', and as i'd got a bit of birthday money burning a hole ,got there.. Nothing.

So it looks like dealers are taking this Suzuki nation-wide event "really seriously"

When my k1 gsx-r 750 broke down (engine seized) York suzuki had it for nearly a month before saying "it's too big a job for us to fix this bike" and handed it back in bits..
Spoke to Suzuki GB about it and they more or less said "well they're an independent business so there's not really anything we can say or do". Bleh.

![]() So kind of a bottom line of this all: If there is something on Suzuki sites (event, promotion, promised services,...), that doesn't necessarily mean that it applies in a real world because dealers might just simply not bother... |
