Re: SUPERBIKE FACTORY, MACCLESFIELD

I believe that the OP is finding out the hard way why the bike prices at BMW franchised dealers are higher. They offer a much higher standard of service than the independents - test rides being one example. If they do not offer a higher standard of service then BMW UK will eventually find a way of ...

Re: Hunts Motorcycles, Manchester.

we've got a couple of RT's in stock at present, and being a BMW dealer you get 24 months warranty, recovery and service etc.

Give my manager Paul a ring on 0151 373 4802 and tell him Steve sent you (we're closed on Mondays)

We also do delivery to save the travelling again
