I just spoke to Mick from Performance Bikes & Watercraft. He has bought Brighton Kawasaki outright and will be moving there from Monday, 3 July 2006 
formerly 
Performance Bikes & Watercraft 
2/43 Cochranes Rd 
Moorabbin 
now 
Brighton Kawasaki 
811 Nepean Hwy 
Brighton 
03-95555088 (old PB&W number will continue for 12 months) 
Frank (Mick's No1 mechanic) is already over at Brighton and will now be the Service Mechanical Manager. Mick assures me that in terms of mechanic work and servicing, nothing except the location will change. 
I booked the Viffer in for it's 30,000 minor service on 3 July, so I'll let everyone know how it goes. I will also suggest to Mick that he has coffee available for his customers

..very strange this
coz according to the current owner of BKwaka
..its crap. 
 
I was in Bkwaka this morning and asked Ken Nixon
if he had sold..and why.
With the Kwaka Vic sales manager standing next to us 
Ken said
...he has not sold, has NO intention of selling
and as he enjoys what he does, it will be quite a while
before he considers selling. 
and 
he then said..whoever spreading the rumour is wrong!
Ken then went on to say that the last offer he had to buy the
business was 6months ago from A1 just up the road
..he refused the offer
so
who's right?
atm, I believe Ken
cheers

As i said at the top of the post Pinched from another forum, i even included the link.
I never said i had a source, i posted what i had read.
And if he Ken hasn't sold then thats great!
We already go there, toservice the bike etc as we bought it from there.

				I have only good experiences with both, and if it was not for Brighton Kwaka I would be riding a NSR150 or VTR250 today

Hopes are high aren't they Smitty?  That would be very unlike Mina to contribute something of use after all 
 
I heard this from a bike mechanic yesterday so heard it thre before I read it here but Smitty has it from the horses mouth so I would rather go with that than a post on Netrider.
