I bought my R1 import off them new. Couple of phone calls, drove 200 miles, walked in, paid for it and rode it away.

My brother knows the owner and has done for 25+ years, OK so far as I know.

I went to look at a Benelli Tre-K there a while back.

I'd buy a bike from them and I believe that they've been there a long time now.

The showroom is so full of bikes though that you can't get close to many of them.

Good, they've got some great prices on aprilias, offered a decent px against my speed triple and 4% finance! Not worth taking cash out of the bank for that, think I'll pull the trigger next week.

I've heard most of them are imports, and although the sales service is good, after sales is not so good.

Mate of mine had an R1 from there (via a third party), which turned out to be from France and therefore restricted, and was sold as unrestricted.

He had a hell of a time gettibg it sorted out.

So far as the imports go they're an official Aprilia dealer so I think all the Prillers are genuine UK models. They were completely up front about my R1 being a US model - same as UK spec except no inbuilt immobiliser, temps displayed in Fahrenheit and the US model has the red stripes round the rims as standard. Oh yes, and £1,400 less than the UK list price ...

Did it have a hazard warning light too? My little old US GPZ has a hazard switch which i dont believe the UK ones had..
And previously i think US ones had the headlights come on automatically where before UK ones didnt but its the same in the UK now?

Im guessing a bit. been a while since i bought a new bike.. (ahhhhh!) smile
