F.A.Q
The place for the frequently asked questions, always worth a read as often the answers can be found... but remember if you dont get the answers you need, dont be afraid to email or phone us!
A: Yes we do, although price depends on location so please call for details.
Q: What license do i need? A: Please refer to DVLA website for exact details, as this is a quick reference guide for most riders.
For a Moped (50cc and max speed of 30mph) you need to be age 16 or more with either a provisional licence and CBT, or Full PRE-2001 Car licence (CBT only required if test passed after 2001) or a Full Bike licence.
For a learner legal 125cc (upto 14.6 BHP) you need to be aged 17 or more with Provisional licence and CBT or full Bike licence only.
For a bike over 125 and over 14.6bhp you need a Full Bike licence only.Some limits on BHP apply depending on the exact test youve taken and when youve taken it.
Q: Does the 2 year Warranty cover breakdown collections? A: Well the basic answer is no... it only covers the repairs to the vehicle subject to it meeting the terms and conditions of the warranty, it doesnt cover transportation to or from the place of repair. Some machines do come with free cover for 12months included in the sales price, others its extra. If in doubt please ask for a quote. We do offer a collection service of our own, but it does cost. Please ask for details.
Q: Do you do CBT training? A: No we dont as we leave it to the professionals. We use a local well respected company to do all our CBT's and they are called Anglia Rider Training. They offer full motorcycle training from CBT's to Full Bike Tests and even work 7 days a week! See there site for more information and prices.

Q: Do you derestrict machines? A: Yes we do but only once your aware of the legal implications and have signed an appropriate disclaimer. All the machines we sell were designed to be full power but have been "restricted" to make them UK learner legal so undoing the restriction wont harm the engine just increase its speed, by how much varies from machine to machine, as does cost. Please ask for more information on the models your interested in.
Q: How often do machines need servicing? A: This varies depending on models specified service intervals although recently the range has seen significant increases in service periods due to the fantastic build quality and reliability, as such some now feature 10,000KM service intervals.
Q: So how much is it to service a machine? A: As above it depends on the exact model, but we do offer a fixed price menu so you can compare not only the purchase price but also the running costs. We wont carry out work you havent requested and will advise on problems we find and give you the options available before carrying out the work.
Q: Can you service and do warranty work on my machine from another dealer? A: As long as its a manufacturer brand we are dealers for, of course we can! And probably better than them too, we have all the latest special tools and technician training to offer a 1st class service at an unbeatable price!
Q: Do you service other makes and models other than you sell? A: Again yes we do, We still have the tools, information and training to do most model servicing including Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda and Peugeot.
A: Yes we do, with 3 full time Cat 1 & 2 Mot testers on the premises and a purpose built bike MOT bay we can do Mot's at the same time as servicing, or while you wait. Please give us a call and we will work around your needs.
Q: I like the models you stock but want a different colour or version? A: Having ever single model in every single colour would be nearly impossible, so we try to do our best at pre-judging the buyers most likely purchases, if however we get it wrong and you want something else or even just a colour change, let us know and we will find out how long to get one in... dont be afraid to ask!
