What are the best motorcycle and kit deals and discounts available right now?
Continuing our regular weekly guides to current biking offers and bargains, we’ve been scouring the marketplace – so you don’t have to! And, we’re adding USED bikes, too!
You don’t see big discounts on Triumphs very often, and certainly not on its popular, top of the range roadster/naked, the Speed Triple, which is why this huge cut price offer at dealer Lings stand out. The east of England dealer currently has a range of offers on unsold 2022 Triumph but this one is the biggest of all. It applies to a brand new, 0-mile, unregistered example in white of the racy, faired Speed Triple 1200 RR and sees a full £2451 slashed off its usual RRP of £17,950 to take its price down to now just £15,499.

Discounted KTMs are fairly commonplace, it’s a fundamental part of the Austrian brand’s marketing strategy, especially when new model year bikes are arriving resulting in dealers wanting to unload unsold 2022 stock. As a result, we’ve seen plenty of discounted examples of its top spec, 180bhp Super Duke 1290 super naked before – although rarely with this much sliced off its ticket. This discount is being offered by west country KTM dealer SP Motorcycles and sees a full £3031 sliced off a brand new, zero-mile, orange and silver example of the 2022 Super Duke R Evo complete with Tech Pack which results in its price being slashed to a very tempting £15,999.

Kawasaki’s twin cylinder 650cc Versys has proved a huge success for offering virtually unmatched versatility and value, even if it has been overshadowed slightly in recent years by bikes like Yamaha’s Tracer 7 and Triumph’s new Tiger Sport 660 – which is probably why dealers are starting to offer them at a discount, as is the case here. Robinsons of Rochdale are currently offering the top spec 2023 ‘Grand Tourer’ version, i.e., the one with a full luggage set and more, making it even more practical, in a choice of colours, all brand new, zero-mile and unregistered, for just £9949, that’s a saving of £1095 on the usual price.

While finally for this week – and another middleweight all-rounder – here’s another great dealer discount on one of the best twin-cylinder tourers currently available, Yamaha’s brilliant, MT-07-derived Tracer 7 GT. It’s being offered by Bristol multi-franchise dealer Fowlers and sees just one unsold 2022 model year example in red of the GT version, which comes complete with panniers, now being offered with a decent £756 off. That takes its price down to just £8494 which represents tremendous value for one of the best all-rounders you can buy.

How’s this for a whopping dealer discount on a top quality used bike? It’s being offered by used bike specialists Superbike Factory and sees this rare, mint, low mileage example of the exclusive CVO version of Harley’s best-selling Street Glide bagger now being offered with over £6000– yes, SIX THOUSAND – off its previous used price. It’s a 2017 example, has just 6777 miles on the clock, being a Street Glide means it’s both stylish and versatile and, as a CVO – Custom Vehicle Operations – hand-built limited edition special, means its’s ultra-exclusive as well, and now all for just £19,987!

Another great dealer discount on a proven, fabulous, used bike. Again, it’s being offered by used bike specialists Superbike Factory, it this time applies to the ‘last generation’ version of BMW’s class-dominating tourer, the R1200RT. It’s a 2015 example, so is the model without the latest 1250cc ‘ShiftCam’ engine and TFT dash, but otherwise remains a brilliant tourer/all-rounder. It’s also in great condition, has a very reasonable (for a tourer) 18,514 miles under its wheels and this latest £1005 discount takes its price down from the previous £8991 to now just £7986!

Finally for this week, another discounted used bike bargain, but this time not because it’s a model that’s been updated but is instead one that’s now been dropped completely, despite being one of the best examples of its type. Introduced in 2013, Aprilia’s second generation Caponord adventure bike had a retuned version of the Dorsduro’s 1200cc V-twin, lots of effective electronics, great road handling and performance and stood out from the crowd. Sadly, it didn’t catch on and was dropped in 2017 but that’s all the better for those looking for a used bike bargain. This late 17-plate example is again on offer at used specialists Superbike Factory, has just 9721 miles on its clocks, comes with a full luggage set and has just had its asking price reduced by £1005 to take its price down from £7991 to now just £6986 which makes it some kind of steal!

Here are last week's offers, in case you missed them...
Leading British bike builder Triumph gave its biggest adventure bike offering, the three-cylinder Tiger 1200, a massive makeover only last year which turned it into a credible rival for not only BMW’s R1250GS but also KTM’s 1290 Super Adventure, so it’s rare to see it being discounted. Blade motorcycles, however, are currently offering this brand new, 0-mile, Rally Pro example, meaning nit’s the more off-road capable variant, which also comes complete with factory top box, for just £16,950 ¬ that’s a full £1824 saving off the usual new price of £18,774!

We’ve featured significant dealer discounts being offered on unsold 2022 KTM 890 Adventures before, due to the bike being updated slightly for 2023 resulting in dealers being keen to unload unsold old stock, but that’s no reason not to highlight another one at a different dealer this week. This time it’s the turn of Kent mega-dealer Laguna who is offering a meaty £1650 off the Austrian adventure bike as part of its end of season clearance sale. That discount takes the 890’s price down from the previous £11,449 to now just £9799 but if interested you better act fast as it likely won’t be around for long!

Leading Peterborough multi-franchise outlet Wheels is another major dealer where great discounts can often be found on brand new bikes – as is the case here with a great cut-price deal on Moto Guzzi’s stylish and quirky – but still practical – retro/adventure all-rounder, the V85TT. The wortld-traveller style transverse V-twin was a popular addition to the Italian marque’s range but Wheels are currently offering a full £1405 off, taking its price down from to now just £9995 – which is pretty tempting for a stylish, versatile, Italian all-rounder.

While finally for this week – and yet another adventure bike – here’s another example of big discounts being offered on Yamaha’s popular MT-07-derived off-road twin, the Ténéré 700, but this time one being discounted by yet another dealer. The 2023 version of the versatile Yamaha all-rounder is getting an upgraded dash which is why this unsold, zero-mile, unregistered blue 2022 example is currently being offered by dealers Arnolds with a full £900 off, so taking its usual price of £10,099 now down to just £9199.

With all the fuss and rave reviews of Ducati’s range-topping Panigale V4 superbike it’s easy to overlook the brilliance of the Italian brand’s smaller, V-twin version, the V2, or 899 as it used to be called. And that means the littler brother is a ripe candidate to be a used bike bargain, as is the case here at specialists Superbike Factory. The example concerned dates from 2014, hence the older 899 designation, has a covered a very reasonable 11,222 miles and has now just been reduced by a full £1805 taking its price down from the previous £10,291 to now just £8486.

Here’s a great dealer discount on a used example of one of the best performance all-rounders currently available. BMW’s S1000XR adventure sport is effectively an upright, faired, adventure-styled version of the S1000R super naked and as such blends brilliant street 160bhp performance with comfortable versatility. Better still, this black example at used bike specialists Superbike Factory is also a high spec Sport SE version, has done just 6297miles and has just been reduced by a further £1402 taking its price down from £12,891 to now just £11,489 which surely makes it some kind of bargain.

Finally for this week, another bargain recent used bike whose price has probably come down to the unveiling of a new replacement. Ducati has recently launched an all-new, V4-powered version of its brilliant Diavel performance cruiser which means that the older, V-twin version can be a snip – as here at specialists Superbike Factory. This example is virtually as-new, is on a 20-plate with just 1568 miles under its tyres and has just been reduced by a whopping £2095 taking its asking price down from £15,991 to now just £13,896.
