Track / Riding School:
In the interest of motorcycle safety, we host monthly riding schools at the Killarney Motor Racing Facility, north of Cape Town. These events take place in conjunction with the Western Province Motor Club. These riding schools have proved to be very popular, and substantial feedback shows that these schools have improved the standard of motorcycle control, awareness and overall road safety among the hundred of participants who have attended the schools over the last few years.
Company History:
During the 23 years of operation, we have progressed from being a small rural Suzuki and Honda dealer (mainly serving the agricultural sector in the Boland region) to being one of the largest dealers in South Africa, with the largest workshop in the Western Cape, offering a full range of services to our ever expanding customer base. However, we have not forgotten our roots, and are proud to still serve the vibrant deciduous fruit and wine industries in the Western Cape and Breede River Valley. We also serve the wider agricultural sector, as far afield as Springbok and Upington in the Northern Cape, to Caledon, Swellendam and Riversdale in the Western Cape. We have even had the fortune to be able to supply export customers in Namibia and Lesotho!
Our Growth:
We achieved this growth due to the fact that we have been importing our own products for the South African market since 1989. Over the years we have built up a formidable collage of reputable suppliers from all over the world. We deal with companies in Europe, North America, and the Far East. Due to the high volumes we sell, we are able to negotiate the very best pricing on the latest current models, and in many cases we sell the new bikes before the official distributors even receive their stock!
Value for Money:
We realize that the need for basic, cheap and reliable transport in our country is growing, and to this end we have entered into an exclusive deal with a Chinese scooter manufacturer of high standing, to build high quality scooters, suitable for South African conditions. These will be available from September 2007. Keep watching our website for more details !
We are able to take advantage of special deals and over stock situations in other countries. This places us in a position where we can provided very competitive pricing on those products. This gives us the competitive advantage over our peers.

We are constantly striving to keep abreast of the latest product developments in the industry. To that end, we attend the most important industry trade shows, and attempt to bring our customers the latest and coolest goodies first!
