Buying a Vehicle

Portman Business Park Lissue Industrial Estate, Unit 10/11 West, Moira Road, Lisburn

They managed to get the tires I couldn't get properly in France and in time during a road trip across Ireland and Scotland last september. Very nice welcoming, very professional, good service. I would definitely go back there... It's a late review, but thanks a lot again!!👍

I recently purchased a KTM Adventure 790 from Phillip McCallen, and I had the pleasure of dealing with Jason. He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient throughout the entire process. I highly recommend asking for Jason if you're in the market for a bike!

Was the first time to visit this shop. Place was well layed out and the guys couldn't have been more helpful. I  can see why they have won Kawasaki dealer of the year. Good spin up to them from Dublin, but will be back.

Great service as always provided by Tony in EBikes
And to see a dedicated fully stocked EBike Shop

Great selection if bikes and clothing. Servicing is very poor. I've had a bike in there on four occasions:

The first service on a 125 duke was fine.

Second service again fine except they scratched the frame and wheel somehow. They tried to deny it but I'd taken a little photo of it outside the shop before I left it in. They reluctantly fixed it and made a big deal of how good they were for doing so.

Third service with valve clearance, again, no issues, or so I thought, rode it to the NorthWest 200 a few days later and there was a little 125cc sized pop and it died. Stranded etc, not happy. After inspection they said the engine had basically blown up. One of the staff let slip that a valve had hit the cylinder head.  So I think a slightly too large shim on the adjustment was put in. Again, denials and "maybe you were going a little hard" from the owner, but he would get the engine replaced under warranty for free as a gesture of goodwill. Again, big deal made about it.

Sold it immediately and bought a nice reliable SV650.

Recently bought an 890 Duke which h has the head gasket oil leak. Left it in to be fixed, " Good news, I didn't have to replace the gasket I just used extra sealant!" Dunno why that was good news as the gasket is only £20 and I specified I wanted it replaced. Bit the oil leak was gone and so I sucked it up and left. I've just changed the oil and noticed its leaking worse than ever!

So in summary, buy a bike there, buy gear and parts there, but once you're out of warranty, give it a wide berth.
