BETTER THAN THE REST At Riders we always try our very best to give the sort of service that’s better than the rest, you can submit your feedback to enquiries@ridersmotorcycles.com We love to hear where we’ve done well and also if we’ve not quite hit the mark please let us know so we can improve in the future. Recent comments from our customers include:
“Just to say how pleased I am with your fantastic service!!!! For doing a fantastic job and restoring the beauty to near new condition!!!!! Pulling the strings in the background to keep the customer happy and for getting me back on the bike in the first place a year ago.” “Was a pleasure to buy the bike from you, your customer service is first class. I was lucky with the weather and had a very pleasant journey home. I could not be more pleased with the bike and know I made the right choice. Thanks again and I will see you when I bring the bike up for its first service” “Just a quick note to thank you and your staff for looking after me and sorting out the new machine, as usual they are courteous, helpful and extremely patient with me. Please can you pass on my thanks to them, meticulous. It is always a pleasure coming to Riders.” “A big up to Riders, that's 2 bikes I've bought from them now. Salesman crunched the numbers and kept me informed and parts / workshop guys went out of their way to help and added some great extras. Keep up the good work.”
NEW RULES FOR 2013 It's all change in the law for learners wanting to get onto a motorcycle. In January 2013 the motorcycle licence is set for a full shake up due to the EC 3rd Driving Licence Directive. There is no way out and the wheels are in motion and unstoppable - the way you get a licence, the restrictions and the costs are all set for this new legislation. Younger riders will find they have to take three sets of tests and wait 4 years until they get a chance to
ride an unrestricted motorcycle. Riders aged 24 or older will find that the costs of training and test will rise as the EU requires us to purchase many more types of motorcycles and much more powerful ones for the new 2013 version of Direct Access. If your partner or friend is thinking of getting into biking why not contact your local training school today - A+ Motorcycle Training 01278 8788864, AMTC 01278 611655, Ace 0117 972 1333, Kickstart 0117 986 6200 or UMT in Cardiff on 0845 3707 732

NEW BMW HP4:
RACE-READY SUPERBIKE
With the BMW HP4, BMW Motorrad presents the lightest 4-cylinder supersports bike in the 1000cc class to date. Based on the BMW S1000RR – the new sports motorcycle has an output of 142 kW (193 hp) and weighs just 199 kilos [439 lbs] including Race ABS and with a 90% full fuel tank (169 kg [373 lbs] dry weight with Race ABS). The biggest news is the addition of Dynamic Damping Control to the suspension of the HP4. Previewed last year, DDC monitors road conditions and actively adjusts the damping rate of the upside-down fork and rear shock. The HP4 also sees updates to the Race ABS system with a new IDM settings for maximum deceleration in “Slick” mode, the ability to fine tune the Dynamic Traction Control on the fly in “Slick” mode and the addition of launch control with wheelie detection. The new BMW HP4 sees its world premiere in 2012 and is a continuation of BMW Motorrad’s HP model series founded in 2005. Priced yet to be confirmed.
