See http://www.suzuki-gb.co.uk/promo/000444/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for details.

I got their email newsletter last week and also checked this promo. However It could be a typical error but the Burgman 650 that they are showing to be at the dealers is the 2012 model and not the latest 2013? I have sent them a message via Facebook to check this.

Their quick reply....

Suzuki Bikes UK. Hi Colin. The 2013 model will be available to demo at our test ride events as soon as it arrives. Sadly the 2012 model is deputising until then, but once the new model lands it will be updated and the 2013 model will be at the events. Sorry for the inconvenience though! It will be here soon.

It'd be pretty silly demo-ing an old model of the Burger.....but there again, this is the UK motorbike industry!!

Their demo events start tomorrow Saturday 9th March, and as the new model has not arrived in the UK, technically they only have the 2012 model to show.
Event bad timing or a good sales ploy to get a few 2012 model orders, hopefully discounted?

The mind boggles.... They don't get to Tillstons in Stockton until the end of May, so they might have the new model by then....or maybe not...
