Classic Bikes - About Us

Our Showroom

We are life-long classic vehicle enthusiasts and have run our business since 1983.

Selling. Our motorcycle sales business focuses on the 1970s and Kawasaki Z900s are our speciality. We aim to have for sale top quality original specification motorcycles from this golden age of motorcycling. Our interest takes in bikes from the late sixties to the mid eighties. So as well as our Z900's you will also find some lovely classic superbikes from Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha, together with tempting two strokes and a few Triumphs, Laverdas and Moto Guzzis (etc). Our bikes are normally carefully roadtested, serviced and MOTed before sale and most will qualify for cheaper classic insurance.

Restoring Z900's We carefully rebuild a small number of Z900 to "as new" condition. See our Concours Restorations Page and contact us to discuss the specification of your "new" Z1!

Buying. We are always looking to buy original specification motorcycles from this period. We will consider everything from restoration projects through to to top class examples, but only bikes with good identities and documentation please. Most of our stock is bought in the UK, though we will consider European and North American origin machines too.

We also have many years experience dealing in classic cars especially Jaguars and there are usually an interesting selection available here too! However, our real love remains the Kawasaki Z1....

So if you are buying or selling we hope to do business and that you enjoy your visit to our web site.

Coronavirus. We are open by appointment and will also be pleased to talk by phone and answer emails.

We wish everyone the very best at this difficult time.

Thanks for visiting us in virtual reality!
