Motorcycle Training Day

 

In Partnership with Bike2Bike Motorcycle Training, on Saturday June 27th we had a day devoted to motorcycle training for anyone wanting to get started in motorcycling or to progress onwards to a restricted or full licence.

It was well supported and a lot of people had all their queries answered with regards to taking a CBT, the new test procedures and questions about different licence options.

There were training machines to try out under the guidance of the Bike2Bike instructors and lots of bikes to try out for size for when you've passed your test!

The sun shone all day and everyone had a great time. There was even FREE refreshments (Cheers Steve!) and the comments have been so favourable that we are planning on making it a regular event!

Welcome to Pro-Bike, Berkshire's prestigious Suzuki and Yamaha dealer.

Pro-Bike is an independent motorcycle dealership and first opened in January 1996.

Our first premises were a small industrial unit on Brook Way in Newbury, selling used motorcycles and carrying out servicing and repairs.

In those far off days we probably had a total stock of just 20 bikes.

In June of that year we took on a second unit in Brook Way to house our workshop separately and give us a bit more showroom space in the original building.

The old site was quickly outgrown as our satisfied customer base grew beyond all expectation, and in January 1997 we moved to our present site in Newtown Road, Newbury.

By comparison this site (an ex- car showroom and petrol station) was huge and allowed us to stock a lot more bikes, as well as providing the room required to start selling clothing.

We probably had around 50 bikes at any one time. These consisted of both used machines and brand new imports.

In 2000 the showroom was extended and we were given a Yamaha franchise.

As a Yamaha main dealer we stocked their complete range as well as an ever growing selection of quality used machinery.

The Parts and Clothing departments were moved into a separate building adjacent to the main showroom on the site during this period, allowing them increased stock levels too.

The business grew steadily over the next few years until in April 2005 we took on the Suzuki franchise to run alongside the already established Yamaha range.

With an ever expanding business we had to eventually completely refurbish both buildings, with extensive remodeling to create yet more showroom space.

This entailed moving the Parts and Clothing departments into the main showroom, along with the Suzuki range and our used stock.

The Yamaha range was moved into the old Parts building, which was completely gutted and refurbished and is now a Premier Yamaha showroom.

We can now offer a choice of over 100 new Yamaha's and Suzukis, along with over 150 quality used machines.

The new clothing department stocks clothing from Teknic and Ixon, Shark, Shoei, Arai and AGV helmets and if you want something special we can always order it for you.

We stock a full range of gloves, boots, luggage, and waterproofs.

We are a Motrax stockist for all the bolt on bits you may need and sell performance exhausts, brake pads etc.

Our parts department stock all the usual genuine service items for both Suzuki and Yamahaand can order parts for just about any make of bike.

Whatever you need, just give us a call!

 

 

News Flash!!!

When you consider how many thousands of dealers there are in this Country we are pleased so many customers are happy with our service and would like to thank them for voting for us!

 

 

 

 

 

Customer comments

 

Hi Kev.

Myself and my partner have bought two new motorbikes from Pro-Bike.

The service from Kevin in Sales is excellent, so much so I made sure my father bought a new bike from Pro-Bike.

As Kevin was not around at the time my father collected his bike, Brad was there and was fully up to speed with my father's requirements and any answers to questions he asked.

The aftercare is also excellent from Mike in the service department whether it is servicing or advice or warranty work.

All the staff are understanding and will not rush you in any area ie Sales/service or parts and clothing.

We will definitely use Pro-Bike in the future and would recommend this shop to anyone.

(Kevin please do not sell Dreena a new bike that's white again unless you can GIVE HER TRAINING ON WASHING IT)!!

My new friend is a new Fz1 Fazer.

The whole “Buying a new bike” was a pleasurable experience, from my first enquiry via the phone right up until the moment I rode my trusty steed towards the setting sun.

I had been given good sound advice on my choice of bike type and had a great (unbeatable) finance deal.

The whole journey appeared to be an effortless activity, which validates the pro-bike staff’s experience.

I was treated like a “premier” customer.

I can whole heartedly recommend that you test my claims.

Just wanted to add my comments to those on your website. I bought a GS500 a few weeks back to commute to my new job in Newbury. After years of being stuck in traffic for hours commuting by car, I am now getting to work and back ten minutes each way!

Also, many thanks for the friendly and helpful service and advice. I've been recommending you to loads of people!

Pro-Bike gave us a super efficient service, professional yet friendly and the bike we purchased was priced competitively. It was refreshing to actually enjoy the buying experience!!

We just need to try not to crash this one.....................

When I picked up my new bike everything was ready, no hassle.

Would recommend this shop to everyone.

Great customer service.

I was very impressed with the sales service provided to me by Kevin.

The advice I was given enabled me to purchase the correct bike for my needs as a first time motorcyclist.

I wouldn't hesitate to contact Kevin for future sales or advice.

Kind regards

I was very impressed by the professional, friendly way Pro-Bike dealt with me when I bought my Yamaha XJ900 Diversion.

They were genuinely interested in selling me a bike without being pushy or aggressive.

They also gave me a fair price on my ER5 in part-ex.

Kevin, in particular, was excellent, going through all the paperwork and making sure the bike was ready within a couple of days of my decision to buy it.

I would certainly recommend Pro-Bike.

Richard Maynard

I've bought three bikes, had demo rides, service work and clothing.

Every department has been incredibly helpful and thoroughly knowledgeable.

It's always a pleasure to visit and I wouldn't want to have to trust any other dealer again.
