Category: Motorcycle Sale

We are all individuals, we as a capitalist society like choice and we like to think that our consumption choices reflect that.

The same can be said for motorcyclists – after all, who don’t like to shop for that next new pride and joy.

And yet, we’re also used to being habitual, with many of us heading in a predictable direction when it comes to motorcycle shopping.

Models like the BMW R 1250 GS/Adventure, Yamaha MT-07, Triumph Trident and Royal Enfield Meteor 350 have become familiar landmarks on the road… but have you ever wondered “what happened to this or that model?

You know, motorcycles were launched with great fanfare and brag, only to be overshadowed and overlooked when it came to exchanging money…

Something like these 10 motorcycles, which you might be surprised to learn, are actually still available to buy all shiny and new right now…

Honda NC750X

With annual sales of nearly 30 million, it’s rare that you get a motorcycle from Honda that we can never be entirely sure is still available until we check out the website, but the Honda NC750X in is an example.

Dubbed an “adventure motorcycle” by Honda, the fact that it looks instantly out of place next to the Africa Twin and even the X-ADV scooter says a lot about the NC750X’s confused positioning in the lineup.

In reality, the NC750X – the only NC model remaining after the removal of the standard 750 – is better suited as a “Touring” bike that just happens to get its boots a little muddy from time to time. It’s a nice look – more attractive than the Honda NT 1100, anyway – practical and looks solid… but it’s as unremarkable as most ‘does what it says on the tin’ Hondas.

With the aforementioned NT launch already rendering the NC750X redundant, the incoming Transalp ADV – built on an all-new 755cc twin platform – will likely kill the NC750X softly early in the year.

Suzuki Katana

It was one of the most anticipated motorcycle launches of 2018…but just four years later, you’d be hard pressed to spot the modern reimagining of the Suzuki Katana on the roads.

With a look considered both futuristic and genre-defining at the time of its launch, the original 1981 Katana has become part of motorcycle lore. Indeed, while the Katana divided opinion when it was first revealed, today it is remembered as groundbreaking, even extravagant.

So it’s ironic that today’s reboot is largely overlooked for the exact opposite in being, well, forgettable.

While many of the original features – such as the square headlight and nose section, partial fairing – remain intact, the 1981 Katana was truly a modern-looking motorcycle of its day, while the modern version looks dated rather than retro.

If Suzuki had stuck to its guns and produced something similar to the Katana-inspired Stratosphere concept, then we think the outcome might have been very different.

BMW R 1250 R

It’s a little strange to include Europe’s best-selling motorcycle on a list of forgotten models, but such is the ubiquity of the GS and GS Adventure variants, it’s fair to say that the other spin-offs don’t get not much attention. .

With the RT version, the R 1250 GS seems forever destined to be so associated with these three models that the other two – the RS and the R – barely see it.

The flagship of BMW’s naked lineup, the R 1250 R clumsily presents itself as a superfluous big-engined roadster that neither packs the punch of potential “hyper” rivals like the KTM 1290 Super Duke R and Kawasaki Z H2, nor leans on tourer because this base is well and truly covered by its siblings.

Chuck in the fact that its territory is being encroached upon by the S 1000 R and F 900 R, so the R 1250 R is rather surplus to requirements.

Yamaha Niken GT

Yes, yes, yes…before you say it, we “know” that the Yamaha Niken GT muddy the waters when it comes to being classified as a motorcycle, but much like the Jaffa Cake-biscuit debate, it fits to the invoice here.

Yamaha’s vision is beyond reproach with the Niken – a two-front, one-rear trike – featuring clever gyroscopic technology designed for superior comfort and stability, plus the soothing notion that you won’t fall off. not very easily.

It’s also a pretty decent long-distance tourer, but there’s no disguise, the Niken GT is a quirky quirky that we couldn’t recommend to anyone at all uncomfortable receiving attention anywhere you go passers-by.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Niken hasn’t won over buyers in the same way as the nifty Piaggio MP3, largely because its unique – albeit well-judged – features aren’t quite worth the gawps its asking price of £15,500 and a selection on the accomplished Yamaha Tracer 9.

Benelli TRK 502

To be fair, we could have placed any member of Benelli’s current range of British motorbikes, such is the historic Italian company’s tiny status in the UK.

It’s not the only brand limited by its sparse distribution network, but Benelli’s status as a player becomes more surprising when you consider that he’s become something of a rising star in the world rankings, one that now outsells Triumph and Ducati comfortably.

Substantial investment from Qianjiang Motors has seen Benelli’s range and footprint grow exponentially across Asia, where it is now a popular choice.

However, the effect was also felt in Europe, with the Benelli TRK 502 now the best-selling motorcycle in Italy by a kilometer, thanks in part to the mid-capacity soft-roader/tourer having few obvious rivals.

Low prices, practicality and good kit levels make it attractive to a UK buyer…you just need to find one first.

Zero SR/S

All credit must go to Zero for not only persevering with its all-electric theme long before it became a consideration for mainstream companies, with the American company having forged decent value and a diverse range of options.

However, while Zero’s designs – like the SR/F and the new DSR/X – are smart and future-proof, they’re not terribly exciting either…

Not that he hasn’t attempted to pump some adrenaline into the lineup in the (clumsy) form of his Zero SR/S, a modestly fast mid-range roadster doing sportbike cosplay.

Indeed, Zero slapped a hideous angular fairing on the SR/F and called it a sport bike, which might convince a whole lot more if the SR/S were even an iota more exciting and appealing to ride than taking the bus.

A quick sprint off the line is a godsend, but the SR/S wears out before your pupils have dilated. Add in a price of £12,670 – around £4,000 more than the far superior Yamaha R7 – and it’s easy to see why buyers swerved.

Triumph Tiger 850 Sport

Something of a sore thumb in Triumph’s lineup, the Triumph Tiger 850 Sport is meant to fill the specs as a more touring-focused model… except Triumph said something similar about the Tiger 900 GT bigger, more powerful and more capable launched just a few weeks ago. earlier.

Essentially a successor to the previous-generation Tiger as standard, the Tiger Sport lacks some of the smart technology, maturity and grunt of the 900, but retains that usual triple character.

Fitted with the same engine as the Tiger 900, it’s been detuned to a smaller capacity and horsepower, hence the 850 suffix, while the price also reflects reductions with the £2,000 cheaper Sport at £9,495 .

And yet we can’t help but think that, just as we view 99p as favorably better value than £1, we wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to opt for the 900 GT over the 850 Sport on bragging value alone…

CF Moto 650 NK

CFMoto is gradually gaining a foothold in the UK and Europe with models such as the 700CL-X and 800MT, but the Chinese company has a wider range of motorcycles available here for longer than you might expect.

Formerly known as WK Bikes (White Knuckle, FYI…), the current lineup is now aligned with the core CFMoto brand and features larger capacity models than most making the trip from China.

Among these is its tried and tested but very, very dated 649cc platform which is offered in MT soft-roader, GT sports tourer and NK.

Meaning “naked”, the NK650 – which looks like a cross between a KTM 790 Duke and a Suzuki SV650 – is very easily overlooked among accomplished rivals thanks in part to innocuous styling and mechanicals cashing in on their pensions.

CFMoto might have better luck just slapping its eye-catching £5,799 price tag on the fairing as a paint option.

MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800

Suppliers of ‘Motorcycle Art’, thanks to models like the F4, F3 and Brutale, MV Agusta certainly has it all figured out when it comes to creating stunning models.

Such an exotic signature image, however, isn’t as easy to translate to something more upright and function-oriented than a Sports Tourer, where styling ranks much lower on the order of importance.

Nevertheless, the Var brand got off to a good start with the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800, much more slender than its main rivals, especially in the RC racing version. With its tuneful – if it gets old – 800cc three-cylinder engine encouraging a spirited driving experience, the Turismo Veloce is a decent case… if you lived outside the UK.

A sparse dealer network has always been a bogeyman to MV Agusta’s UK fortunes, while the Turismo Veloce plays on its premium image by sporting a hefty £13,950 price tag…

In short, if you’re going to go to the effort of buying an imported MV, you’ll get a Brutale…and if you want a Sports Tourer, you’ll get something cheaper, more efficient, and not a source of migraines when things are bad.

Ducati Super Sport 950

The fact that the Ducati SuperSport 950 is considered the tourer of the Italian firm’s lineup tells you everything you need to know about the Panigale-not-Panigale SuperSport 950.

In fact, head over to the Ducati website, scroll down all models in small thumbnail size next to each other, and the remote SuperSport 950 bears all the hallmarks of the sport bike sibling.

Except that there the similarities end, the SuperSport 950 persevering in the twin-cylinder architecture of the firm, unlike its cousins ​​now sporting the latest V4 and V2 trends.

For a ‘Tourer’ the SuperSport is surprisingly a track day hustler, but generally this model suffers from being too tourer when it could be a sports bike, or too much of a sports bike when you want a turn. After all, why buy a curdled semi-skimmed SuperSport 950 when you could have a fresh, fatty Panigale?

KUALA LUMPUR (September 29): Chailease Berjaya Credit Sdn Bhd (CBC), a joint venture (JV) between Taiwan-based Chailease Holding Co Ltd (CHC) and Berjaya Corp Bhd (BCorp), plans a billion bond sale of RM as CBC is expanding its financing operations for new motorcycles, Malaysian Rating Corp Bhd (MARC) said on Thursday (September 29th).

“[MARC] has assigned a preliminary rating of AA-(cg) to CBC’s proposed RM1 billion medium-term note (MTN) program. The rating outlook is stable. The program carries an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee from CBC’s ultimate holding company, CHC,” MARC analysts wrote in a note.

CBC is a 70/30 joint venture between CHC and BCorp, according to MARC.

CBC, with a funding portfolio of RM1.9 billion in the first half of 2022 (1H22), expects to maintain its current double-digit annual growth rate amid a rising interest rate environment coupled with inflationary pressure to the mind.

“[MARC] takes comfort in its established underwriting and collection measures which have been adopted from the proven guidelines and policies of its Taiwan-based sister company, Chailease Finance Co Ltd (CFC), CHC’s main operating subsidiary,” a- he declared.

MARC noted that CBC’s asset quality measure is stable, with its gross impaired funding ratio (GIF) sitting at a low 1.7% at the end of HY22, slightly above 1.6% there. one year old.

In HY22, CBC’s interest income increased 16.6% year-on-year to RM142.2 million, matching its pre-tax profit, which increased to RM69.4 million. Other than that, the net interest margin has been strong, hovering above 11%, and CBC relies primarily on bank borrowings, which have increased alongside its asset growth to $1.5 billion. RM at the end of 1H22.

MARC noted that CBC’s reliance on short-term revolving credit has declined to 36.9% as a proportion of total borrowing from its peak of 60.3% at the end of 2020.

“CBC’s growth has been supported by periodic capital injections from its shareholders, CHC and BCorp, totaling RM175 million since its inception in October 2015,” the rating agency added.

Therefore, the proposed MTN program reflects the credit strength of CHC’s unconditional and irrevocable guarantee.

CHC’s consolidated funding portfolio stood at T$613.8 billion (RM90.9 billion) at the end of HY22 with a GIF ratio of 2.2%. MARC Ratings has assigned a public information rating of AA-/Stable to CHC.

At the time of writing, BCorp’s share price rose 0.5 sen or 2.17% to 23.5 sen, valuing the group at RM1.38 billion.

A one-of-a-kind, cultural must-see retail store on Toronto’s Ossington Strip will close its doors for good next month after more than a decade of serving the community – but that’s not bad news for customers (not those who appreciate deep discounts, at least. )

City Motorcyclea motorcycle lifestyle store located at 132 Ossington Ave. announced earlier this month that it would end operations in October, with an initial shutdown date scheduled for October 31.

A note posted on the door of the business seen on Sunday, however, says the physical store will now close on October 2 due to the overwhelming customer response and rapidly dwindling inventory.

A note on the door of Town Moto explains why the beloved store is closing and what customers can expect.

The shop notes that it could close even sooner if stocks run out, and that could very well be the case thanks to insane clearance prices: as a final thank you to fans and friends, the company is selling all stock. staying in store for at least 25% cents off, making this a great time to invest in a cool biker jacket or a silver skull ring.

Helmets, jackets, gloves, boots, sunglasses, t-shirts, sweaters, toques, gifts and more can be found in addition to what the store considers “everything you need to maintain, modify and build a motorcycle, including maintenance products, parts, tools and manuals.”

Town Moto branded merchandise (including their many awesome t-shirts) is a staggering 50% off, with all sales final.

“At the start, we had a simple goal to create something that we felt didn’t exist in motorcycling. We never expected it to turn into something that would allow us to work with so many great people. , to engage with a community both within and beyond motorcycles. , and contribute so profoundly to our lives in personal ways,” read a letter on the store’s front door.

“We were very lucky to have turned something we dreamed of into a real business. With so many seasons in business, there is also growth and change! After a decade in the space, we feel we have achieved what we set out to do and we are ready for the next Chapter.”

The Town Moto team goes on to say that they have forged many relationships with brands, the community and individuals…one of which is Khal Drogo himself, actor and motorcycle enthusiast Jason Momoa.

Momoa isn’t mentioned in any marketing materials, and staffers aren’t one to drop his name, but the star is rumored to be a huge Town Moto fan. He has been spotted leaving the company on several occasions and appears to have witnessed some of the many community events hosted by the shop while filming in Toronto.

The Aquaman star was filmed last April run his engine outside the workshop and cruise through Ossington, but that’s not what makes Town Moto cool. Not by far.

“You don’t need to own a motorbike to be welcomed into Town Moto, we have an assortment of casual wear, books and everyday accessories! Need some advice on getting started with motorcycling? We’ve got you covered. too !” reads the store’s website, epitomizing in one sentence why locals love Town Moto.

“The motorcycling community is an important part of who we are and what we do. Throughout the year, we strive to foster and support our motorcycling community with free tech nights, events, sponsorships and promoting other inclusive events in the community.”

Anyone familiar can agree that the store had a major (if not the biggest) impact on Toronto’s now thriving motorcycle culture. No word yet on what might replace them or if they will reopen elsewhere.

“We are very lucky that this was a personal choice and that our love of motorcycling and the independent trade did not weigh heavily,” read the closing note on the store door.

“We can’t promise anything about where you’ll find us in the future, but chances are it’ll still be on a motorcycle! Thank you for being part of this journey and we can’t wait to see what who will follow!”

The e-bike craze is officially hitting the United States, and tons of capable e-bikes are flooding the market. Of course, these bikes must meet government regulations that limit their speed based on the class classification of the e-bike.

So if you buy an e-bike, make sure it meets local laws and regulations. Many manufacturers ship your e-bike with a limited top speed to meet regulations. But they allow you to unlock the full speed of the bike regardless. So what are the fastest e-bikes for sale right now?

1.Optibike R22 Everest

The Optibike R22 Everest is an e-bike monster. This bike is fast, but there’s so much more. The R22 Everest offers up to 300 miles of range, which means it can go hand in hand with many electric cars and is among the e-bikes with the longest range. The reason for this extended range is the huge battery, which has a capacity of 3260Wh.

The Optibike Everest R22 is the perfect example of an electric bike that can easily replace your vehicle as a daily driver. The fact that it is equipped with a throttle and a huge battery makes it an ideal companion for urban driving. This is especially true if you’re navigating a city with tons of hills, like some in California. The range is big, but the Optibike R22 Everest makes this list because it’s also super fast!

The R22’s electric motor delivers 190Nm of torque, allowing you to climb wherever you want, and very few obstacles will get in the way of this bike. This super e-bike can reach a top speed of 36 mph, which puts it in rarefied air in terms of e-bikes. It’s also one of the few e-bikes you can take with you in any situation. There isn’t much that will hinder the R22’s progress.

Replacing your car with your R22 is entirely possible, especially if you can take advantage of its 36mph top speed. The great thing about the R22 Everest is that you’ll get to work quickly, sweat-free, thanks to the e-bike throttle, and you probably won’t have to charge it all week.

2.Delfast Top 3.0i

The Delfast Top 3.0i is another e-bike that blurs the lines between a full e-motorcycle and an e-bike. But, Delfast markets the Top 3.0i as an e-bike, so we’ll continue with that. The Delfast Top 3.0i looks like one of the fastest electric bikes for sale. This e-bike wouldn’t look out of place in a Blade Runner movie, especially if it’s being driven by one of the bad guys. It looks like a futuristic motocross bike, but without any unwanted noise because it’s fully electric.

According Delfast, the Top 3.0i will be shipped to the buyer in “legal” mode, which will essentially make it a Class 2 e-bike limited to 20 mph. As crazy as this bike is, it’s even crazier to think about riding a bike that looks this aggressive while being limited to a top speed of 20 mph. Imagine: Fast riders on traditional bikes can outrun your restricted Delfast bike. Luckily, you can unleash the bike’s full potential when you’re not using it on public roads.

If you want to take it off-road and off the cobblestone city streets, you can unleash its full power in Unlimited Mode, which goes up to 80 km/h.

Clearly, that 50mph top speed makes the Top 3.0i an absolute beast of an e-bike, ensuring that no other rider will simply pedal in front of your e-bike. That top speed is amazing, especially considering that this monstrous e-bike’s range is 200 miles.

Sure, it doesn’t beat the Optibike’s 300 miles of range, but given that the Delfast Top 3.0i can smoke Everest in terms of top speed, no one will complain too much. Another great thing about the Delfast Top 3.0i is that their website offers replacement motors (attached to a new wheel and tire combo) and replacement batteries. But beware, the parts are very expensive.

3. Hi Power Cycles Revolution XX

The HPC Revolution XX is the type of e-bike you look at and immediately start wondering if e-bikes are getting slightly out of control. According HPC, the Revolution XX might just be the fastest e-bike in the world. The really hilarious part is that they say you can even pedal that fast – yuck!

Top speed is officially listed at 70+ MPHand not only that, the operator can physically pedal at this speed thanks to a custom-built Schlumpf high-speed drive with a 38T/95T equivalent planetary gear chainring.

The fact that this crazy e-bike can reach 74 mph on a dry lake proves that e-bike manufacturers have lost their minds. Quietly, this could spark an e-bike performance war, much like the current one between Tesla’s Model S Plaid and the Lucid Air super EVs. The funny thing is that the Revolution XX will be Class 2 compliant, which limits its top speed to 20 mph.

You can then choose to activate off-road mode wherever it is legal to do so, giving you full power. Only 20 of these awesome electric bikes will be built, so if you want one, hurry up and order one. The price is $20,000. One thing is sure; if you want the fastest e-bike, your wallet won’t be unscathed.

The e-bike performance war is on

It will be interesting to see how the performance of e-bikes in the future will surpass the current crop of super-fast e-bikes. The e-bikes featured above are all absolute monsters and feature incredible ranges to go along with their mind-blowing performance. Hopefully regulations don’t start to undermine the fun of e-bikes in the future, because it will be great to see how far e-bike performance can be taken.

Teddy Morse, Group Chairman and CEO and Harley enthusiast, jumped at the chance to own a Harley-Davidson dealership. Given the scale and complexity of this transaction, we were able to overcome the many challenges that arose throughout the purchase-sale process. Both parties were a pleasure to work with and ensured a quick closing as the dealerships transitioned from one family business to another. We look forward to the continued success of Ed Morse Automotive Group and the growth of its portfolio. I want to thank Sheila Umphrey, Michael Havardattorney/partner, and Carole De Berry, Chief Financial Officer, for their outstanding support during this transaction and to congratulate them on the sale.
