What are the best motorcycle and kit deals and discounts available right now?
Continuing our regular weekly guides to current biking offers and bargains, we’ve been scouring the marketplace – so you don’t have to! And, we’re adding USED bikes, too!
Get £3004 off Suzuki’s GSX1300R Hayabusa
Suzuki’s reinvented, all-new, 187bhp, now high-tech Hayabusa hyperbike is many things. It’s arguably the fastest bike around, is festooned with quality features and impressive technology and provides a ride few other bikes can match. And it can also be subject to some big dealer discounts – as is the case here. It’s being offered by major multi-franchise dealer Robinsons of Rochdale who are currently offering brand new, unregistered examples of Suzuki’s wonder-bike in all colour schemes at just £14,995 plus OTR costs – that’s a saving of a full £3000 over the normal price!

Save £2300 on this Triumph Tiger 1200
Another bike that, although a brilliant performer, is proving to be the subject of repeated significant dealer discounts has been Triumph’s latest version of its Tiger 1200 three-cylinder, shaft drive adventure bike – as is again the case here. This time it’s being offered by major dealer Blade Motorcycles and applies to the full off-road Rally Explorer version. It’s the last such example Blade Swindon has in stock, is a brand new, unregistered example in green and has not only been discounted from the previous £19,795 to £17,495 it even comes with a free set of expedition panniers as well!

Save £1705 on Aprilia’s Tuono 660 Factory
How’s this for another already great – and great value – bike that’s now being subjected to some great dealer discounts? Aprilia’s Tuono 660 middle weight naked all-rounder, as derived from the Italian firm’s RS660 sportster twin was already a very tempting proposition due to its 94bhp, Italian style and sub-£10K price while the upspecced Factory version, with 99bhp was even better yet. But Peterborough dealers Wheels is currently improving even on that by offering it with a full £1705 off, taking the Factory’s price down to just £8295 – bargain or what?

Get £1665 off this Yamaha Tracer 9 GT
There’s no doubt that Yamaha’s new-for-2023 Tracer 9 GT+, with radar, new TFT dash, improved switchgear and more significantly moved the all-rounder three-cylinder onto a higher plane. But that has also given rise to some dealers discounting unsold older versions which makes them incredible bargains – as is the case here. West country dealers Bransons are currently having its end of season ‘Big Sale Event’ with one of the stand-out bargains being this brand new, old stock, 0-mile, unregistered 2021 model Tracer 9 GT, complete with panniers, semi-active suspension and more being offered with a full £1665 off so taking its price down from the previous £13,110 to now just £11,445!

Save £1608 on this Ducati 1199 Panigale
How about this for an absolutely classic superbike for bargain money? Yes, Ducati may have moved on significantly from the original 1199 Panigale, first growing it to 1299 before switching to the current V4 format, but that ‘first gen’ Panigale remains definitive Ducati V-twin and, best of all, this used example, which is being offered by used bike specialists Superbike Factory, is on a 62 plate and has covered 22,306 miles, has just had it priced slashed by a whopping £1608 taking its price down from £9991 to now just £8383. That’s right, just over eight grand for an iconic Italian superbike. There’s even free delivery thrown in!
DEAL LINK: superbikefactory.co.uk
Get this BMW R NineT Pure with £1308 off
Here’s another iconic example of its breed that just had its price slashed massively. It’s a virtually as-new example of what is, for our money, the best value version of BMW’s brilliant retro roadster, the R NineT. This one’s in the more affordable, basic ‘Pure’ trim, which means it gets more basic suspension, steel tank and a single dial, but we reckon it doesn’t detract from the experience at all, looks great in grey and this example also comes with the extra-cost wire wheels. Best of all, already a bargain, this one at Superbike Factory is on an 18-plate, has covered just 3186 miles and has just been discounted from £8491 to just £7183 – that makes it cheaper than an MT-07, plus there’s even free delivery thrown in!

Save £1206 on this KTM 1290 Super Duke GT
Finally for this week, how about a great deal on one of the best all-rounders you can buy? Introduced in 2016, KTM’s ‘GT’ version of its Super Duke super naked added real-world comfort, practicality and versatility to the Austrian brand’s made 170bhp roadster, with the result being a phenomenal but expensive all-rounder – except here. This used example at used bike specialists Superbike Factory is on a 67-plate, has covered just 4932 miles, usefully comes with panniers and has just been discounted from £9489 to £8283 which, considering it’s over £17K new, makes it some kind of steal. It even comes with free delivery!

But this whopping £3000-plus saving currently being offered by the Kings Road specialists on the stylish but practical Road Glide Special bagger is something to get excited about.

Save £1500 on this Zero DS
As you may have noticed among all the show news from the EICMA show in Milan, leading electric bike manufacturer Zero has rejigged its 2024 bike line-up, including cutting the price of many models. However, this dealer discount from leading Bristol retailers Fowlers precedes all that yet still offers a whopping saving. It applies to a brand new, unused, unregistered, zero-mile example of the mid-range, dual sports (hence ‘DS’), which is being reconfigured for 2024. This example in beige, however, is now subject to an impressive £1500 discount do taking its price down from the previous £13,494 to now just £11,994.

Save £1000 on Yamaha’s MT-09SP
Another bike that’s being updated for 2024 which often means that dealers are keen to offload unsold 2023 stock, in turn leading to significant discounts – as is the case here. This time it’s being offered by dealers Arnolds and applies to a brand new, unregistered, 0-mile, 2023 example of Yamaha’s brilliant, upspecced ‘SP’ version of its MT-09 roadster triple. The dealership is currently offering a huge £1000 saving on the bike, taking its price down from the usual £9800 to now just £8800 on the road.

Get £730 off this Kawasaki Vulcan S
While finally for this week, at least when it comes to new bike dealer discounts, how about something a little different? Kawasaki’s Vulcan S remains one of the best mid-range cruisers available and its ultra-low seat and easy manners makes it a great ‘first big bike’ for shorter or female riders. Kent dealer Laguna, however, are making it more enticing still by including it in its end of season sale meaning brand new, 0-mile, unregistered examples can now be had with a full £730 off, so taking its price down from the usual £7429 to now just £6699!

Save £1708 on this Triumph Speedmaster 1200
When it comes to bobbers and cruiser styled bikes there’s little dispute that one of the best in recent years has been Triumph’s Bonneville Bobber, with the Speedmaster version, complete with pillion seat, arguably better still. So how about this discounted, virtually as-new example? It’s on a 68-plate, has covered just 5144 miles, is in immaculate condition and has just been discounted by used bike specialists Superbike Factory by a full £1708 so taking its price down from the previous £9691 to now just £7983. It even comes with free delivery!

Get this Ducati SuperSport with £1707 off
Here’s another bargain used bike discount on what is one of the best bikes in its category. Ducati’s SuperSport may not have the glamour and extreme performance of the Italian company’s more exotic superbikes but it’s still an excellent, ‘real world’ road sportster. Better still, this 17-plate example, which has just 4280 miles under its wheels, is in the best red colour scheme, is in immaculate condition and has just been discounted by used bike specialists Superbike Factory by a further £1707 so taking its price down from the previous £8790 to now just £7083 – again complete with free delivery!

Cover up to Six Bikes on one Multi Bike insurance policy
We understand that you can only ride one bike at a time, regardless of how many motorcycles you have in your garage. It’s not uncommon for motorcyclists to own more than one bike. A practical machine for commuting, something sporty for weekend thrills and an adventure bike and a nostalgic classic or two as well.
A collection of motorbikes presents a challenge to insurers; our job is to make sure you have the right cover for each bike at our best possible price, but we think Bennetts' multi-bike insurance does just that because as a motorcycle insurance specialist with BikeSocial, our team of in-house biking experts, we believe that Bennetts knows biking better.
Bennetts multi-bike insurance can cover up-to six bikes on one policy, is Defaqto 5-star rated and comes with free BikeSocial Membership when you buy insurance directly.
