My last post listed the Top Ten Selling Bikes in the UK for 2008. The news that BMW sales are up on last years sales comes against a backdrop of a drop in overall bike sales.
BMW sales in 2008 were up 15% on the 2007 figures. Taking 41% of BMW sales is the R1200GS.
When the sales for the Standard 1200GS are combined with the Adventure version they amounted to 2,411 sales which would put them way out in front as the UK best seller, but when the figures are split between the 2 model versions they don’t even make it into the top ten list.
This Spring sees a new dealership open in Cardiff and BMW will make a welcome return to the City after Rydale BMW were taken over by the Sytner Group, thus ceasing BMW Bike Sales in Wales in 2006.
The new dealership will be situated on Sloper Road, in Cardiff just about 100 yards down the road from Cardiff City’s new Stadium.
As well as selling first class bikes the dealership will also have a large cafe and coffee shop inside so you can take a break from your decision making. (Go on you know you want one….you only have to decide what colour it will be!).
Me?…….I’m just a tyre kicker me. Bacon Sandwich anyone?
