I've been baulking over an MG purchase

My Bro in Law has an MG B that rarely travels past the mechanic.

I agree, Wessie - a sub 200kg bike appeals, but - for the foreseeable future - not as much as the RS.

Well, maybe, but all manufacturers produce the odd duff bike. I think the reputation of Guzzi as unreliable is well out of date. My last bike but one was a Guzzi and I never needed to see a mechanic. I'd have another if my RS wasn't so damn perfect for me!

Not enough dealers in the US to be assured one could be 1200 miles from home base and need a dealer servicing an issue.

64 dealers in the US

Bmw dealers number 143 and that's not nearly enough to not have to have a motor towed hundreds of miles to the nearest dealer in some of the western US states.

Hah!

My last house was only 10 miles from a MG dealer. 2 miles to BMW.

I've been baulking over an MG purchase as my new house is equidistant between two dealers. Both around 65 miles away.

I suspect your nearest MG dealer is the one closest too me too, at Kingswinford. Still, 65m - it could be worse...

or A&D in Denbigh

both of them are in rather utilitarian, prefabricated industrial premises with a lack of plate glass and I doubt there are comfy sofas, a bean to cup coffee machine and posh biscuits.
