MSX125 for me to pottle about on and MissB to learn on, should be ideal.

I bought there some years ago and they were fine.

Thumbs up here as well.

Traded in my GTR 1400 and got a new Crosstourer from them. Excellent service and attitude. Even got a call off the salesman a few weeks later to see how the bike was etc...nice touch.

Not sure if it's finished yet, but they were having a massive new building built to house the showroom and service department, as they were about a mile apart last year.

I'd definitely use them again when the need arises.

Thanks guys.
I Have been on the phone with them a couple of times this week, not been to the showroom yet though.

Nope, I know my old blade is "st" and "boring" according to most on here but I love her and zero thoughts of ever replacing her with another sportsbike, she is a keeper.



Look above, a few posts^^^^^

D'oh missed that. I'd have been shocked if you replaced the Blade Chris

That Grom looks like a right laugh. Should be great fun on the country roads.

tbh MissB and I were sold on the idea of one when we first saw them at the NEC, have always liked the original monkey bikes and that sort of thing...the little Grom really struck a cord with both of us.

It appeals as it isn't a 125cc that is trying to look like a "sportsbike" or a "commuter" or a "moped"..it is what it is and I think it is cool as fk.


Have watched a tonne of youtube vids and reading all I can of the bike forums, everything sounds great.

My missus repsol CBC 125 came from there, nice chaps and good prices.

[GM182]

Bought a sh125 scoot there, excellent simple transaction.

Test rode a bandit 1250 and complained about less than good tyres on it, would they contribute if I bought and I think they offered £100. Looked around a bit more and realised it was overpriced anyway so bought elsewhere. Pleasant to deal with though. It was just one of those occasions where a deal can't be done. I'd still go back if they had what I wanted.

[y2blade]

Thanks all

It just dawned on me this will be the smallest cc road-legal motorbike I've owned, previous smallest being 175cc 2-stroke.

And I'm probably the most excited about it too

Not surprised, looks well cool.

Are you hoping she'll get bored of it so you can have it?

[dibblecorse]

Good outfit, good aftercare, you can't go wrong, they are a well re-established well regarded outfit ...

[3DP]

Not the cheapest, but good to deal with and a good quality service department. I bought my 600RR new from them in 2009 and they also did the first service. Test rode the 2013 Blade there last year too.

Very good dealer.

[kiethton]

Dad got his dulville from there 4 years or so ago - was a trade in where the previous owner was getting a new model after 40k miles - did a fair deal on kit and bike combined and there were no issues.

Nice guys too

[y2blade]

Had a chat with a nice man this morning....I will be getting it as soon as my local roads don't look like this


Really looking forward to getting it tbh.
