Half an hour? LOL it takes me 15 min to get from my house to civilization.
30 min is basically around the corner, don't see a problem here, go check it out. #teamorange
it takes longer than 30 minutes to get to the other side of town, but it's in town...unfortunately, the dealer is in a small town about 30 minutes North of London (Exeter, if you're familiar with the region)...if i needed to have a truck pick up the bike if there was an issue, it wouldn't be a problem if they were in town...tow trucks can take bikes here, and many service shops have a bike trailer and offer a pick up service...having a towing company drive out to Exeter would be a small fortune and i'm not sure if that dealer would be willing to pick up a bike in London...as well, if there is something wrong with the bike and i need to drive it (albeit carefully) to the dealership, not as big of a deal when staying in the city, but driving a half hour out in the middle of nowhere isn't exactly ideal.
as i said, i'm not really sure why there isn't a dealer in the city...pretty much everything else is available here...no problem getting a Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, Ducati, Triumph, BMW or Harley Davidson...one of the local dealers also carried Moto Guzzi and Victory but it seems that both have gone now (Victory shut it down, perhaps Moto Guzzi just didn't sell enough units to bother).
