Continuing our regular weekly guides to current biking offers and bargains, we’ve been scouring the marketplace – so you don’t have to!
Save £4774 on a Honda Gold Wing DCT
Big luxurious bikes often provide the best opportunities for even bigger dealer discounts, and they don’t come much bigger than Honda’s super-luxurious six-cylinder tourer, the GL1800 Gold Wing. This one, however, is something of a big bargain, too. It’s currently being offered by North West Honda and is the slick, semi-automatic DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) version of the standard Gold Wing. Best of all, though, it’s currently being offered with a whopping discount of £4774 so taking its asking price down from the usual £29,073 to now be available for just £24,299.

Get £3450 off a Triumph Rocket3 R
How about this for another huge new bike that’s currently being offered brand new with a massive dealer discount? When it comes to the cubic capacity of engines, they don’t come any bigger than Triumph’s brilliant 2500cc Rocket3. But it’s not all about size. The Rocket3 also handles impressively well and bristles with electronics and top components. This bike is a brand-new example of the sportier R model in latest 180bhp ‘Storm’ spec in red and black and is currently being offered by dealer Triumph London with a full £3450 so taking its asking price down from the usual £23,195 down now to just £19,745.

Get £3030 off a Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja Anniversary
If massive six-cylinder tourers or monster 2500cc roadsters don’t whet your whistle, how about a great deal on one of the most successful superbikes of recent years? Kawasaki’s stunning ZX-10R Ninja racked up seven world superbike crowns between 2013 and 2020, mostly in the hands of Brit Jonathan Rea, and in 2024 was offered in special 40th Anniversary livery. This unsold, 0-mile, brand new example is now being offered by dealers Alf’s Motorcycles with a full £3030 off so taking it down from the previous £18,025 to now be available for just £14,995.

Save £2600 on a KTM Super Adventure 1290 R
While, finally for this week, and if you’d like something more versatile still at a discounted price, they don’t come much better or practical than the brilliant 1290 Super Adventure, in more off-road ‘R’ trim, from Austrian dual-purpose specialists KTM. With a new 1390 on the horizon, dealer discounts on unsold stock are available with one of the biggest being offered by Premier Bikes. The Oxfordshire dealer is currently offering this brand new, 0-mile R with a big £2600 discount so taking the 170bhp wonder’s asking price down from the usual £18,199 to now be available for just £15,599.

Get this Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe with £1700 off

This mint example of Harley-Davidson’s definitive heritage cruiser, the Softail Deluxe, has covered just 925 miles, is in absolutely stunning condition in gleaming black complete with whitewall tyres and, best of all, used bike specialists Superbike Factory have just slashed its price by a whopping £1700 meaning that it can now be yours for just £16,900 – or getting on for 10 grand less than the closest new alternative.

BMW’s sensational six-cylinder super tourer, the K1600GT is a supremely smooth ‘motorway muncher’ complete with 160bhp and all the luxury you could want. It currently starts at over £21,000 if buying new, however, this example at used bike specialists Superbike Factory has just been reduced by a big £1386 making it one of the cheapest K16s available anywhere.

KTM’s V-twin, 172bhp 1290 Super Duke GT, as based on the Super Duke naked, is a great performer but also comfortable, versatile and practical – although it does cost around £18K new.

Zerofit are offering all BikeSocial Members a FREE THERMAL BOBBLE HAT WORTH £20 when they buy a summer base layer which designed to keep you cool and sweat free in temperatures up to 40° Celsius.
The brand has recently added legend Charley Boorman to their roster of ambassadors, so whatever type of adventure you’re up to this summer, Zerofit has got you covered.
Simply apply the discount code when you select your base layer of choice on www.zerofit.co.uk to claim your free gift. Here’s the key USPs of each base layer to help you decide.
Zerofit IceSkin Baselayer (£59.95)
Designed in conjunction with Glenn Irwin, the most successful superbike rider in the history of the North West 200 and worn by riders across the BSB Championship and WorldSBK, the new IceSkin fuses two key technologies – Cool Stamp Tech® on the front of the baselayer and Rhombus Mesh Design on the back.
The IceSkin was Q-Max Tested to ascertain how cold the Cool Stamp Tech® fabric was. It recorded a value of 0.358W/cm2 – whereas a standard competitor product would typically score below 0.1 W/cm2.
The new Rhombus Mesh Design has been innovated to target the area where perspiration builds up the most and the unique structure lets in air and quickly absorbs and disperses moisture from inside the garment, helping to keep you dry and comfortable.
Zerofit Ice Weave Baselayer (£55)
The Ice Weave has been designed to wick moisture away from the entire upper body in the hottest conditions.
Cold Threads on the inside of the baselayer are intertwined in a technologically advanced cloud-shaped cross section. This technology, combined with the seamless Tateami original warp manufacturing method, helps to remove sweat from the skin and the quick dry nature of the material ensures incredible levels of comfort.
The material also offers a stretch capacity of 500% (versus its base state) and uses Polygiene StayFresh™ silver ion antibacterial treatment which helps to eliminate sweat odour.
Zerofit Cold Skin Baselayer (£55)
The Cold Skin offers motorcyclists instant cool comfort and has been independently tested and proven to be three times cooler than a standard competitor product.
Featuring ‘Cold-to-Touch’ (CTT) Technology, the baselayer is literally cold from the moment it touches your skin, thanks to innovative fibres that absorb heat and spread it over the body surface.
This quickly delivers an efficient cooling feeling and the thin and lightweight fabric disperses sweat rapidly creating a quick dry feeling without stress on the skin or causing a restriction of movement.

Here are last week's deals, in case you missed them...
Save £9996 on a Zero SR/S
Although smaller electric bikes and scooters sell reasonably well, full size electric motorcycles, such as Harley’s LiveWire or those from leading California brand Zero, continue to struggle and are particularly hindered by their often high prices, which is why you’ll often see them subjected to big dealer discounts, as is the case here – but this almost £10K saving is among the biggest we’ve seen so far. It’s currently being offered by leading Peterborough dealer Wheels Motorcycles and applies to a brand new, 0-mile example of Zero’s decently performing SR/S sports tourer. Normally listed at £23,995, Wheels have slashed a massive £9996 off so taking it down to just £13,999.

Get £5000 off this 30th Anniversary Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade
Full 1000cc superbikes are another category of bikes that have been struggling slightly in the current market, especially premium-priced, high-end examples such as BMW’s M1000RR, which is why – again – big dealer discounts can sometimes be found. That said, they’re brilliant, classy performers and none are arguably better than Honda’s SP version of its legendary CBR1000RR-R Fireblade. In 2022 a special, 30th Anniversary limited edition was launched but at £23,995 it was pricey, too – except here. Leading dealer Chiswick Honda has one, brand new, 0-mile, ‘old stock’ example left which it’s currently offering with a £5000 discount so taking it now down to just £18,995.

Get £2796 off a Ducati DesertX
Ducati’s ‘old school’ style, 937cc, V-twin, DesertX adventure bike (it was originally shown as a ‘concept’ bike as inspired by the 1980s Cagiva Elefant) is widely recognized as one of the best dual-purpose machines of its type, but that doesn’t mean you won’t see any big dealer discounts – as is the case here – they’re just harder to find. Ducati Aylesbury, for example, is currently offering this brand new, 0-mile, 2024 example with a whopping £2796 taken off its usual price of £19,295 so taking it down now to just £16,499.

Save £2500 on a BMW R1250RT
While, finally for this week, another example of a great bike which, due to the unveiling of a succeeding model, can now be found with big dealer discounts. BMW’s brilliant R1250RT was already far and away the best tourer you can buy but the German firm has just unveiled its all-new R1300RT which promises to be bigger and better still. That bike’s not available just yet but in the meantime dealer Ocean Motorrad in Plymouth is offering this brand new, top spec LE version of the 1250 with a whopping £2500 off, taking it down from the previous £23,960 to now be available for just £21,460.

Get this Triumph Tiger 1050 Sport with £400 off
Buying used sometimes gives you not only the opportunity to get a great cut-price deal it can also provide the chance to get a great bike that’s no longer available new – as is the case here. Triumph’s Tiger 1050 Sport was a great, characterful, fine handling ‘adventure sports’ which was dropped but not really replaced after 2017. Used bike specialists Superbike Factory, however, are currently offering this late, low mileage example, which is on a 67-plate, has covered just 8542 miles and is in excellent condition, with a further £400 off, so taking it down from the previous £6990 to now be a steal at just £6590.

Save £396 on this BMW F750GS Sport
Here’s another great, mid-range adventure bike that just been reduced so is now available at approaching half the price of a new one. BMW’s entry-level F-series adventure, the F750GS, uses the same 850cc parallel twin as the more hard-core F850GS but is in a softer tune and has a more accessible, affordable spec. Best of all, used bike specialists Superbike Factory have just reduced this 19-plate example which has covered just 7674 miles and also comes with a smart aluminium top case, by £396 so taking its price down from the previous £6286 to now be on offer at just £5890.

Save £338 on this Yamaha TMAX 500
While, finally for this week, how about this for a great deal on one of the best commuter two-wheelers ever? Yamaha’s TMAX 500 has long been regarded as the ultimate ‘super scooter’ but with new prices now over £14,000 it’s also a very pricey one – except here. Used bike specialists Superbike Factory currently have on offer this 16-plate example which has covered just 4296 miles so is in excellent condition. It also comes with a useful accessory top case to make it even more practical while, best of all, its price has now come down by £338 so reducing it from £6286 to just £5948 making this TMAX very affordable indeed.
