I would consider Sturgess for an MV, I would not consider Royal D , I'm buying a bike from the place that could have maintenance parts and a tech that could sort a problem should it arise. I'm not buying a 20k toaster at Canadian tire and taking it to a service depot in an industrial park 90km from my house. The Ducati /KTM dealer in Cambridge isn't really in a fancy boutique, but I would buy a Ducati there. I have a Duc and it was bought in a now defunct average dealership. I like the experience of a nice dealership, but for me when ready to purchase I'm buying the complete package, I'm getting a bike from somebody that knows bikes, can service the product and that includes sourcing parts, and is helpful. That's what matters. 2011 inventory sitting in the showroom? that's not taking time to get the word out, that's bad marketing effort and poor product placement.

Royal does have maintenance parts for the MV's if needed. Nothing against Sturgess, but I doubt that they have a good service center for MV's seeing as they just picked up the line and have no experience servicing them. Anyone can take apart a bike with a manual but there is a learning curve. IMO this gives Dukes of Cycle the edge for servicing these bikes.

Royal is its own company, not sure who told you otherwise. Motovan is the Canadian distributer for Mv Agusta.

You're Correct, I was misinformed, and/or misunderstood a conversation I had on the subject. Post deleted. Thank you for correcting me.

Sturgess will do fine with servicing, I'm sure they'll receive training on the brand like any other, and In reality the design of most sport bikes is very similar. The skill set required does not change at all Honda to Triumph to MV, and they will have access to all the tools and information necessary.
