No new Bandits in dealers?

First topic message reminder :

I haven't seen any new Bandits in stock for a while.
Do the current year model come in the dark blue like my 08 or is it the light blue like on the Suzuki web site

My 2011 cost $12900 on the road with Givi Top Box and Panniers in Jan 2012

Was in Mick Hones..... One black and one blue 1250s, and a couple of FA's.....all new.
I didn't look for build dates.

one of our local dealers are no longer selling Suzukis which is limiting our negotiating power

Yea that's the same in Mackay only one suzuki dealer, and not many bikes on the floor due to the downturn.   Was originally going to get the GSX1250fa but thy had none and the bandit was a good price. Which they wernt keen to move on anymore

While living in Mackay I shopped around for my 06 Bandit.

The dealer in Victoria St would not negotiate so I finished up buying in Gladstone for $1500 less.

The Gladstone dealer would not look after me when I wanted to trade up to the 2009 model.

Once again I shopped around and purchased it in Proserpine.

I did all of my own servicing and was looked after for bits and pieces by the Mackay Honda dealer
Were I to be buying a Suzuki now I would negotiate a best price with Springwood Suzuki and use that figure to haggle with the local dealers. There are plenty, some in the most obscure towns like Biloela etc. Let your fingers do the walking.
