Was in there last weekend. Just off Gorgie Rd Edinburgh.. holy **** its the biggest bike shop ive ever been in except a Harley dealers in Florida.

Anyone been in there ? They've an old bus thats a tat studio. An american style cafe. An Indian section and a huge bit underneath for everything from starter machines to bang up to date stuff... great selection of gear too. Spoke to the owner who was right honest when I enquired about 2 gixxers they had in. Would definately use them in the future..some selection of bikes !.

Some nice bikes in there, still like the look of those R1's...., Harley dealers near me but ?600+ for a (admittedly smart) Harley leather / textile jacket!! Mind you with zero ground clearance on those bikes I suppose it's all about posing and poodling along?

I almost bought a bike from them a few years ago, but upon closer inspection I noticed that the bike had been dropped and repaired. The salesman never mentioned this when I asked about the bike and played dumb when I pointed it out to him, saying that they must have missed it.

I would be cautious about using them.

I went here to inquire about a 2010 S1000RR Last year, the lad gave me the keys and half a tank of petrol to go out and "Have a blast" on it. The lad that was serving me was brand new gave me all the information about the S1000RR and even wrote me down a few online links for motorsport fairings (The bike i was looking at was yellow ..) in the end they just were not offering me anywhere near enough for my Ducati and we couldnt strike a deal! Blessing in disguise I suppose cause i eventually got my motorsports one and on a 2015 plate rather than a 10!

But overall I thought the service was decent in Saltire but the mechanics where knocking ?100's at a time of my ducati for the slightest issues. I mean a scraped side stand was one of the things on the list they knocked money off the book price for!
