CORRECTIONS CORNER
I n our last issue , we published the motorcycle sales results of the current year , including a list of the top-selling motorcycles of the year so far . Unfortunately , our news writer did not include the cumulative sales of Kawasaki ’ s popular EX400 Ninja , which with a total of 95 units sold makes the LAMS sports machine the fourth best selling motorcycle of the year so far and ahead of Harley-Davidson ’ s Street 500 . We apologise for the miscount and he ’ s currently in the garage serving penance whipping himself with frayed clutch cables .
Here ’ s the updated list :
The Top 5 1 . Yamaha Tenere 700 - 146 2 . Suzuki DR650SE - 102 3 . Suzuki Gixxer 150 - 96 4 . Kawasaki Ninja 400 - 95 5 . Harley-Davidson Street 500 – 83
COLEMANS SUZUKI (& KAWASAKI )
I t has been a cornerstone of the Auckland motorcycle scene for decades in its central Auckland location , and now Colemans Suzuki is on the move to a new location with the range
of motorcycles and accessories on offer set to grow significantly as well . The new store remains centrally located in Auckland City , but sees the Coleman ’ s team move from Gundry Street around the corner to 40 Mackelvie Street , Grey Lynn . With the new store also comes a new flagship brand , with the Kawasaki brand joining Suzuki under the Colemans banner . Colemans owner / operator Alistair Henwood said it ’ s a significant and epic moment for the business . “ It ’ s huge and I ’ m pumped to be making this finally happen for our customers ,” Henwood said . “ We ’ ve invested a lot of time and effort into the new build so it provides a great , generous and functional space for the workshop , sales and parts department .”
