    Evening All or whatever it is when you read this.

    After getting rid of my 2016 abs blade last year I’m considering getting a new one. The last one I had was brand new and only owned for a short period of time because the abs screwed up so sold it back to the dealer and lost quite a bit by doing so.

    So now I want a bike but want to go somewhere that I will - 1) get a good deal and 2) have some half decent people selling the bike and not bullshit me (I know that’s a big ask from sales reps)

    The place I bought from looked impressive and I thought that they would look after me if there ever was a problem but that was not the case.

    So all you guys have bought from one place or another so give me some ideas. I don’t mind traveling around the country so let’s hear what you have to say!

    Thanks

    Buying brand new Naz? If so look into online dealer reviews. Most offer delivery and all deals etc can be done over the phone/email. Have a look at GPhonda in grimsby

    Yep new, I’ll have a look at the website. Reviews are always helpful and I did check when I went to the last place.

    Thanks

    You can always get a good idea with reviews. Other one to look at is wheels in Peterborough (my local) they supply Kawasaki, Suzuki and Honda. Always had good experiences (bought a used bike from them) and they offer a lifetime warranty on new bikes over 250cc iirc. (Lifetime warranty is for as long as you have it)

    I've bought 3 bikes from Blade Honda in Stratford-upon-Avon (2 secondhand and 1 new). From the start they have been magnificent - sales, service and parts - have given me excellent part-exchanges, and don't give the 'hard-sell and crap' like some others in the profession. Martin Ward in sales would help all you need. https://www.bladegrouphonda.co.uk/pages/about/about-blade-honda-stratford.htm

    If you want to be looked after properly with good aftersales, then Doble Motorcycles at Coulsdon https://www.doble.co.uk/

    They are regular Honda dealers of the year, and Rob May the boss really does know hos stuff and they are good guys.
