Quality Motorcycles for Discerning Riders

Ride the Best, Ride Hand Picked

We only sell high-quality motorcycles that have been sourced from private individuals with low mileage, full history, and are in immaculate condition. 

All our bikes are serviced if due, fully inspected and go through a thorough detail polish and wax and thus so are presented for sale in beautiful condition.

12 months nationwide warranty through our partner Warranty First comes with all bikes sold.

Finance and delivery can be arranged.

The Handpicked Standard: My 7-Point "No-Compromise" Checklist

Every bike I buy must pass my personal "sniff test" before it ever gets a valet or a listing. If it fails one of these, I don't buy it. Period.

1. The "Paper Trail" Test

A bike is only as good as its history. I look for a continuous service record—not just stamps, but invoices that show a previous owner who cared about preventative maintenance, not just fixing things when they broke.

2. Originality Check

I prefer bikes that haven't been "got at." While quality exhausts or luggage are great, I steer clear of bikes with cheap aftermarket levers, "shady" wiring for accessories, or DIY tail-tidies that have ruined the loom.

3. Consumables Audit

I check the "hidden" costs. Are the chain and sprockets hooked? Are the tires squared off or aging? Are the brake pads down to the metal? If a bike arrives with me, it arrives ready to ride—not ready for a £500 service bill.

4. No "Winter Grime" Corrosion

UK winters are brutal on bikes. I inspect the engine casings, fastener heads, and swingarm pivots for salt corrosion or neglect. If it’s been sat in a damp shed or ridden through road salt without a wash, it’s a "no" from me.

5. HPI & Finance Clear

Total peace of mind. Every bike is 100% HPI clear, with no hidden insurance write-offs (Cat C/D/S/N) and no outstanding finance.

6. The "Cold Start" Reality

I always insist on seeing a bike start from stone-cold. I’m listening for cam-chain rattle, hunting idles, or any smoke that shouldn't be there. If the owner "warmed it up for me" before I arrived, I get suspicious.

7. My 50-Mile Road Test

A bike can look stunning on a paddock stand and handle like a shopping trolley on the road. I personally ride every bike to ensure the gearbox is slick, the brakes are sharp, and the tracking is true.
