New Dealer

- Start date
Not that many if I remember correctly. Apex/Cambridge....GP Bikes/ Whitby..... Inglis/ London....My favorite... Peninsula/Oakville Great service guys...Craig...Graham....plus the Service Manager. John.
All pretty well spaced.
Whom did I forget?
Sounds about right. Were there that many fifteen years ago? Anyway, even if we're forgettong one that won't change much.
I guess I'm not super-sure on there being more dealers, but it feels like there are a lot more of those bikes on the roads in Toronto. Of course that could just be my noticing them more or something... it's not like I have access to MOT registration records to actually verify if there are more Ducatis on the roads now than compared to say, 1995.

Ducati prices dropped dramatically around 97 for new bikes that is why there are more around now.

Great news. I'm glad to hear that there will be another option for Ducati servicing in the GTA.
This is obviously good news for BMW and Ducati owners. But I just wonder how much business there is when a service centre limits themselves to servicing only two brands. Its seems they are limiting themselves to a small minority of motorcyle owners. If Kahuna didn't didn't suceed and they sold and serviced all makes. I wonder how long long this dealership will last before they open up to servicing all makes. In any case I wish them luck and it would be good if they would consider providing service to all makes.
^ Premium brands can charge premium service fees. Also, a lot of riders of premium brands tend to spend the money to take their bike in for service, rather than doing it themselves.
It's also about building a good rep within the industry. If you look at Parker at Budd's BMW, there's a line-up for service based on his team's reputation. If the service team is great, they'll have BMW and Ducati riders from all over making the trek to their spot for service.

I agree with your view Krimesf4i. But there are also alot of riders that don't own a premium brand and have no problem paying for a premium service as you noted. Most of the time people don't mind paying a liitle extra for the convience of having a service center close by or paying extra for good reliable service.
Reality disagrees with your viewpoint.
