Saul Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Jumped at the chance of a bimble around North Cornwall today. Only about 80 miles but I was going stir crazy having not ridden for 5 days so it was just good to get out. First stop was at St Thomas just below Launceston Castle beside the River Kensey, a tributary to the Tamar. Didn’t quite make it across the border Fortified farm yard I then headed off to the North Coast and Bude to drop into North Cornwall Motorcycles. Ignorant as fuck in there as usual, 6th time I have been there in the last two years and no one has spoken to me yet. Not that worried as they have a terrible customer service reputation so I would never buy anything there. Still nice to have a look at their stock and it is entertaining that no one ever looks at or talks to you, I would be disappointed if they did now Nice Evel Knievel style Sporty, would never ride such a thing but 1970’s Cool Disney Princess edition Glide thing 9.5k VFR 1200, very nice and not expensive @ 3.6k 4 x 1200 GS’es. 3.6k to 4.2k not sure if that is expensive or not but they were all luggaged up with 40k plus on the clock. Shiny buttons Guerrilla looks nice in red and black. In the flesh it is a nice looking bike, not sure I would spunk £5k for a new one. Maybe in a couple of years time I would pick up a low miles used one. Prefer it to the small Triumph. NCM had some really nice looking interesting bikes in stock, but a lot of them have been there for a long time. Might be that I interested in old stuff but their inventory was mostly old bikes and new Enfield’s. Only modern ish bike I spotted was. 250 Strom. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought 2 bikes from North Cornwall Motorcycles my Triumph Trident and my blue Kawasaki ZRX1200s and never had a problem with them, it was 2019 though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a 2012, you can just see the plate . I wouldn’t be seen dead on the thing but I do like the paint, very cool IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted November 25 Author Share Posted November 25 I am sure as long if all was good you would never see the other side of them. They do have a pretty bad rep down here though. I only know one story first had but have heard plenty over time. Glad it went well for you. 1 hour ago, Renegade said: I've bought 2 bikes from North Cornwall Motorcycles my Triumph Trident and my blue Kawasaki ZRX1200s and never had a problem with them, it was 2019 though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
