Sick of paying too much for fuel to get to work? Tired of paying for parking?
Suzuki have released a massive deal for those wanting to get into motorcycling on a budget. These are cheaper than most 50cc and 125cc Auto Scooters!
We have one as a demo and encourage students to 'try before you buy' down at our training grounds. I have personally rode one myself and these little bikes are awesome value for money and are very easy to ride.
*Suzuki Summerfest is on til 31st March 2012 or while stocks last, see Colemans Suzuki for terms and conditions..
