Bayride’s new location

After more than two decades in downtown Tauranga, Bayride Motorcycles has relocated to a purpose-built new facility in Tauriko Business Estate.

Damian Fleming says Bayride is now located at 11 Matakokiri Drive next to the Challenge fuel station making accessibilityand parking - a breeze.

“ e new site is ideally positioned between Tauranga, Katikati, Rotorua, Te Puke and South Waikato making Bayride Yamaha accessible to the wider farming community.

“Yamaha farm bikes are the perfect choice for New Zealanders. With a low cost of ownership over the life cycle backed by a three-year warranty it makes sense to go with a brand that has local support and history.

“From the trusty AG125 2 wheeler to highly practical Wolverine Utility we have a vehicle to suit most lifestyle, orchard and larger farms. ATV popularity isn’t going away with Kodiak 450 and 700 being the best riding and reliable quad bikes out there.”

Damian says farmers can enjoy their new ATV or Side By Side with No deposit and nothing to pay for 12 months on a 6.95 per cent commercial nance plan * T&Cs apply.

With up to 150 hours service intervals we help keep you on farm doing what you do best, we maintain and keep your gear at its best in our fully equipped service centre.

“Come in and visit the friendly team, we welcome new farmers to the district and can’t wait to show-o our new site.” For further information, see their advert on this page.
