EP Motorcycles in Romsey offer a free and comprehensive marketing package, in order to sell your unwanted motorcycle for you.
Eric Pike, the owner and a former racer, explains how it works.
“An ever increasing number of people have bikes sat in their garage or just not being used enough, for whatever reason.
“While they are not being ridden the majority of bikes are obviously depreciating and in the current climate few people can afford for an asset like a motorcycle to lose money if not being ridden and enjoyed.
“We will agree a price in return for your bike, ensuring that this is higher than a trade value you would expect to return from a dealer.
“We will collect your bike, clean it to showroom condition, market the bike via the various specialist media and pay the agreed value when the bike is delivered to the new owner.
“We can, of course, also clear any existing finance owed on it.” EP Motorcycles make no charge for this service and are able to provide further benefits for you over somebody trying to sell their bike privately.
For example, they can take another bike in part exchange and provide a warranty for potential purchasers’ peace of mind.
This also attracts prospective purchasers from out of the area, who can use the warranty which EP Motorcycles supply at their local repairer.
Explains Eric: “We take all of the hassle out of selling your bike.
“We deal with servicing the bike and putting an MoT on it and that cost comes out of our margin on the bike and not our agreed value.
“You don’t have to deal with the phone calls and people wishing to come and inspect the bike either of course. We even deliver your bike to the purchaser free of charge for you.”
As the biking season has just started, it is the best time to consider selling your bike, so contact Eric today.
EP Motorcycles are also the area’s stockist for the range of TGB 50cc scooters and Superbyke 125cc motorcycles.
For new riders, they offer a “Get You Biking” starter package of clothing for £99 including a helmet, gloves, jacket and reflective vest, along with subsidised CBT rider training with a local instructor for £99 too.
With a new TGB scooter – like the one pictured – starting at £999 for the Classic 202, this is a very economical way of getting yourself on the road with a well built quality scooter and with a dealer back-up.
Another service provided by EP Motorcycles is scooter and motorcycle recovery and transportation.
EP Motorcycles have successfully undertaken training by the Institute of Vehicle Recovery and have been appointed accredited motorcycle recovery agents, covering an area including Southampton, Eastleigh, Chandler’s Ford, Winchester, Rom-sey, Andover, Ringwood and Salisbury.
They are also able to collect your motorcycle from anywhere in the UK and return it to your desired location, at a very reasonable rate. Just call for a quote, or for immediate attention if you are unfortunate enough to break down.
EP Motorcycles are open for sales, servicing and recovery assistance, at Unit 8, Wynford Industrial Park, Belbins, Romsey. SO51 0PW, Monday to Saturday, 10am-6pm. Call Eric on 01794 367736.
