Tiger Test Ride

4 Tiger Test Ride: The stolen test

4 Test Ride The Tiger was to be the test of the BMW F800GS, with 2 planned months in advance, planned and booked. Unfortunately, the pleasure of doing the test we have been removed and hence the title.

We're not telling you the disappointment of seeing the test gradient, to see money, time and miles thrown to the wind.

We had booked the bike at the Hotel Enzian in time where we were able to test the 1200 GS, but once the booking was in place, as confermataci email and we emphasized in every request.

Equally we were not worried as we had one more day! We arrived, in fact, Friday, May 1, 2009, and the reservation was for 2 May. When Klaus told us that was not the reservation and took the bike for a fault to him, since he had to take out a group, we understand and we have proposed to postpone the booking to May 3, the only other available day for us. There has been proposed on Monday, but we firmly stressed that you could not because we had to leave.

3, we go with confidence to pick up the F800 GS, but the bike is not there. The guy tells us that the reservation had been moved to May 4, but note that it was not so and that he had also scored on the reservation book. Verifies that indeed was marked, and tells us to speak with Klaus ... only that it was he who took the bike Infastidito .

So they took the test! It 'sad to base the test on a motorcycle vacation, booking, organizing everything and see it all taken away. More than 400km to get there, more than 400 € spent for nothing.

However, apart from wishing that we could discuss with NEAC Klaus, never seen, not do we hear of issues with the hotel that has fed and where the staff was very courteous. We think, however, that the hotels in the area so there will be hundreds where you can feel good and where a reservation has real value and not just a way to solicit customers and then not erogarei services promised.

So, sorry, but who loses the most, was the structure of the bike together let's Hotel Enzian. When we first recommended now, we can not advise a visit to the facility to test a bike with us because it was not at all reliable. We are sorry to note that a brand like BMW, associated with reliability and quality of services, is linked to a test ride center that offers this level.

So dear friends of the BMW F 800GS, we can not tell you anything and I do not know if we have an opportunity in the future.
