With the new riding season looming, and the new 25 registration plate now here, it’s a great time to buy a new motorbike.
Kawasaki, KTM and Suzuki are all running deals to cut the cost of their popular models.
KAWASAKI
Kawasaki’s first-quarter offers on selected 2024 model-year motorbikes include 0% HP or 5.9% PCP on models under 650cc and 4.9% HP or 5.9% PCP on larger-capacity motorbikes.

Meanwhile, KTM’s many creditors have accepted its plan to restructure the business. It means phased production of motorbikes can resume mid-March.
The plan will see the Austrian company pay creditors 30% of their claims at a total cost of 548 million euros. That money will have to be with the restructuring administrator by 23 May.
The court can then confirm the restructuring plan in early June. The restructuring process will end when it becomes legally binding.
KTM is receiving 50 million euros from an ‘extended circle of shareholders’ to get production going again. The four production lines are set to be at full capacity in a single-shift operation within three months.
SUZUKI
Suzuki is offering 0% finance on several large-capacity models and £800 off 800 machines when you take a test ride.
The 0% finance offer is available over four-years on either PCP or HP with a minimum £1,000 deposit.
The deal is on GSX-S1000GX and GSX-S1000GT, and + variants fitted with 36-litre panniers as standard. It is also available on the naked GSX-S1000 and Katana.
The V-Strom 1050 and 1050DE, plus full aluminium luggage-equipped Tour versions, are also included in the offer, as is the Hayabusa, including the special anniversary livery model.
The GSX-S1000 naked can be ridden for just £79 a month with a deposit or trade-in of £2,970.
The GSX-S1000GX+, with standard panniers, can be had for £109 a month with a £3,426 deposit.
The test-ride offer, cutting £800 from the recommended retail price, sees prices of the award-winning faired GSX-8R and naked GSX-8S drop to £8,199 and £7,499 respectively.
The off-road-ready V-Strom 800DE and 800DE Tour drop to £10,199 and £11,699. The road-focused 800RE and 800RE Tour come down to £8,899 and £10,399.
All new parallel twin models include a full-colour TFT screen, bi-directional quick-shifter, power modes and multiple traction control settings.

Both offers run until the end of March.
