Good grief.
When I went tot he garage yesterday, I had a look round his recently opened bike section. I reckong the 3 pictures below show about a quarter of his stock. Curiously, he said that most of the bikes he sold were bought as investments and most would never see the road. One bike (I forget which) was a limited edition of 200 worldwide and he had 3 in his showroom yesterday.

Good grief.
Amazing, where is this please Eddie?
Eddie, can you think why your photos aren't showing up on Firefox on a Mac? I noticed this earlier on another of your threads.
Edit - works fine on Safari...

Blimey! Love the showroom too, looks like an old industrial building. I could spend a few hours there drooling over the stock
I hope he leaves the stickers on them..............Originally Posted by swanbourne
It's the old barracks on Edmund Road, Sheffield. He also has a limited edition Harley, full of chrome and with a hand-toooled leather saddle.

Impressive stock. Impressive pricing too. The price of exclusivity.

Wow! Love the modern representation of the Norton. But there are 2 Desmosedici's in the second picture. REAL MotoGP bike for the road. I saw one at Goodwood Breakfast Club a few years ago. Looked gorgeous, sounded brutal. One day...
That 3D walk-around on their website is absolutely brilliant.

He's got some absolute classics in there. Is that an RD125? My uncle had one and I used to love 'carving' round the streets with him when I was young enough to get away with it.
Great space to show them all as well.
Rd400. £7k though!

Some cracking bikes there. I thought the Ducati Superleggera was £72,000 but his is only £47k.
The Guzzi Daytona 1000 at under £9k is good value too, they're normally nearer ten these days.
There is absolutely nothing in that shop i wouldn't happily exchange a kidney for .
In the mean time .

I'm not keen on customs but other than that I completely agree.
Affiliated to "the car specialists" I believe
They have or have just sold a friends 993 cabriolet
Interesting stock there

Looking at the rev counter on the 250LC, he does

This place is my second stop after I win the lottery! Unfortunately I don't see the day coming up when I get to go.
The Limited edition of the Harley is right at the end of the showroom, on the back wall.

Isn't it the XL 1200 against the counter? The one on the back is a lovely Ducati. There is what appears to be a stunning Kawasaki 900 on the left as well, next to the XT.

This one!

I'm a little concerned that it's described as a 1995 bike with a 999cc engine though. You'd think that if they're selling top end classic bikes then they'd get the details right!
A lot more on their Facebook page.

I think I've just found heaven I'm drooling here
My God. Never seen anything like it!
Thanks for the link. Just spotted my next bike, one day
Amazing - another world!
Oh man, if only...
Not the same standard of bike as Eddies find , but a fascinating place to spend an hour if in East Yorkshire Batley

The street is funny complete with Tattoo parlour, barber, helmet shop. The cafe is nice too. Many of the 250 two strokes are the owners being sold off.
Reading up this shop got a £2 million loan from HSBC to make it what it is.
