So now I'm on the hunt for a new bike, part of my field of search is , of course, the showrooms. After some quick visits of my local dealers I was shocked to see just how scaled back they have become.
A couple of them are no longer trading, the rest (with the exception of one) have bugger all on the floor, with next to no sports bikes at all, which is a real bitch coz that's what I want.
Has there been a trend in decreasing sales for a while or is it to do with Covid? The latter doesn't make sense as that has been a very recent thing, they wouldn't have lost 60-80% of floor stock in that time (this includes accessories, not just bikes).
Any clues?
