Motorbike partnership

l MOTORCYCLES

LONG-time Cairns motorbike service centre Bikecraft is entering a new era with a partnership, a full rebrand, and a move to a different location.

Originally opened in 2003 by Russell Claremont, Bikecraft has launched a partnership with Alan Ren of the Cairns Cars Auto Group.

“It was the perfect opportunity for everyone to benefit,” said Mr Ren.

“This is the marriage of like-minded people in myself and Russell,” he said.

“I had just started to look into investing into a superbike dealership in Cairns, and after meeting, it became quickly apparent that we both believe in the same values of delivering quality products and both harbour the same passion for premium motorcycles.

“Before long all the pieces had fallen into place for a great new era to begin for Bikecraft in Cairns.”

Mr Claremont has developed a reputation in Cairns for down-to-earth customer service and an uncanny ability to diagnose and fix even the most obscure motorcycle mechanical issues.

Mr Ren said he hoped to build upon the foundations that Mr Claremont had laid by investing in the next chapter of Bikecraft side-by-side with one another as they rode into the future.“We’re really excited to announce that we’ll be stocking two of the world’s premium superbike brands at Bikecraft in Ducati and Triumph, which will be the first time there has ever been a dedicated dealership for both of these brands in Far North Queensland,” said Mr Ren.

“And, of course, we will continue to be the local authorised service centre for Vespa, Moto Guzzi, Aprilia, and MV Agusta, along with Ducati and Triumph, and we’ll happily service any other bike brand as well.”

The new era of Bikecraft comes with a complete overhaul of the brand and the website, modernising the Bikecraft image and offering customers the chance to see the latest Ducati and Triumph models in person and online.

Mr Ren also plans to add a motorcycle parts and merchandise store to the website in the very near future.

“Russell has done an incredible job in making Bikecraft the best motorcycle service centre in Far North Queensland and we’re now going to expand on that and make Bikecraft the FNQ hub for all things to do with motorbikes,” said Mr Ren.

Bikecraft is at at 197 Lyons St, next door to Skoda Cairns and its new partners at Cairns Cars on the corner of Mulgrave Road and Lyons St.
