  • "The bike was great value as a preregistered model and was delivered as promised."
  • "So happy with bike cause it is immaculate for its age and looks and rides like a dream."

Cons:

  • "But I can't help feeling they were trying it on regarding the cost I was quoted between £120-£130 for a 1st year service and they would take up to 1 hour to complete only for them to try and charge me an extra £38 and 2 hour labour."
  • "I bought a Lambretta from here and it had a blemish on the paintwork when I collected it - I agreed that I would take it, as they promised to order a new panel and fit it when it arrived. This was last April! A few months later my petroleum cap broke and I contacted them - they promised to send out another but guess what? I still haven’t received it."
  • "This place has loads of bikes to look at and with great prices. The reason why I'm giving it only 2 stars is because I visited this place a month ago and enquired about a particular bike, they didn't have one in so one of the guys said that he'll get one in and would ring me when it's in. I never received that call."
  • "Robinsons immediately took the bike back and rectified the minor damage and got it back out to me."
  • "The bike went through the workshop and needed front discs. No problem, nick rang every couple of days to keep me in the loop."
