The Magnificent 10 biking deals of the week
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!
Save £4708 on this Zero FXE
We’ve highlighted some of the big dealer discounts available on Zero electric bikes before but with models like the top of the range DSX or SR/S, even with £1000s off, they still can cost over fifteen grand – but not here. The Californian firm’s FXE model was introduced in 2021 as a lightweight, accessible supermoto co-designed with award-winning design firm, Huge Design. Best of all, this example, on offer at Oakley Motorcycles in Maidstone, currently has a huge £4708 slashed off its usual price taking it down to just £8977. Never has a fun electric bike been so affordable.

Save £3000 on this Suzuki V-Strom 1050
Suzuki’s proven, ultra-practical all-rounder, the 106bhp, V-twin V-Strom 1050, was already one of the most affordable litre-class adventure bikes available, but this brand-new example which is currently on offer at A&T Motorcycles in Weston super Mare, and which has a further £3000 discount, is surely an absolute steal. It comes in blue, has the extended seven-year warranty already activated and is now priced at just £10,495 which makes it cheaper even than a brand new, 72bhp, 700cc Yamaha Ténéré.

Get £2855 off this Moto Guzzi Stelvio PFF
If your taste in adventure bikes is for something a bit more exotic and highly specced there are still some great dealer discounts available right now which still results in bikes costing under £13,000 – as this Moto Guzzi Stelvio proves. Currently on offer at Moto Techniks in Stowmarket, Suffolk, it’s a brand new, 0-mile example of the top spec ‘PFF’ version, with radar, active suspension and more, like the base version is based on the already excellent Mandello sports-tourer and, thanks to that £2855 discount, now costs just £12,695 down from the usual price of £15,550.

Get £1800 off this Ducati Hypermotard 950 SP
While finally for this week, and talking of discounted exotic Italian bikes, how about this cut-price version of the now superceded V-twin Ducati Hypermotard 950, which has now been replaced by the single-cylinder 698cc version? On offer at M&P in Cardiff it’s a brand new, zero-mile, ‘old stock’ example of the top spec ‘SP’ version (complete with Öhlins, Brembos and more), is about as much fun as you can have on two wheels and has just been reduced by £1800 so taking it down from the previous £16,795 to now just £14,995 but when it’s gone, it’s gone.

Save £600 on this Triumph Speedmaster 1200
If a specialist, off-road enduro bike isn’t to your taste, how about this for one of the classiest and best custom cruisers currently available that also here comes at a bargain used price? It’s again being offered by used bike specialists Superbike Factory, but this time is a virtually as-new example of British brand Triumph’s twin seat custom, the Speedmaster 1200. The example concerned is on a 23-plate and has covered just 1555 miles, is in immaculate standard condition and as part of Superbike Factory’s current price match promotion has just been reduced by £600 to cut its price from £10,790 to now just £10,190.

Buy the Zerofit Heatrub Ultimate Baselayer and Heatrub Ultimate Leggings for £119.90 and receive a FREE Heatrub Ultimate Neckwarmer and FREE Heatrub Ultimate Socks, saving you £50.
Zerofit – The World’s Warmest Baselayer® - is now offering BikeSocial members an incredible deal on their Head-to-Toe Heating System this Autumn and Winter – Buy the Heatrub Ultimate Baselayer and Heatrub Ultimate Leggings for £110 and get the Heatrub Ultimate Socks and Heatrub Neckwarmer for FREE. A saving of £50.
Zerofit entered the biking market in January 2022, quickly establishing itself as pioneering performance apparel brand in the UK, Ireland, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the US, and the brand is now the official baselayer supplier to the Nationwide Association of Blood Bikes (NABB) too.
Developed in the brand’s Japanese homeland, theZerofit Heatrub Ultimate Baselayerhas been proven to be five times warmer than leading competitors following independent testing on the product at the Boken Institute in Osaka, making it a game-changing product in even the coldest of conditions. Evaluations at the Institute resulted in a heat retention rating of 0.78; a standard baselayer would have a rating of 0.1-0.14, while a sweater would typically have a rating of around 0.3.
Technologically enhanced ‘Heat Threads’ inside the garment are activated through movement, gently brushing against the skin to generate warmth instantly. Unlike most other baselayers, the Ultimate does not work on the basis of ‘compression for heat’ – so not only does it provide greater warmth for motorcyclists, they also don’t feel restricted by an inability to move freely. The Ultimate has been designed to work best in a temperature range of -10° thru 10° Celsius and theHeatrub Ultimate Leggings,Heatrub Ultimate Socks and Heatrub Neckwarmer are manufactured using the same Heat Thread which perform in the same way as the top and are popular addition for many riders who want to be warm from top to toe.
Take advantage of this fantastic offer by simply clicking on the button below to reveal the unique discount code. Then, when you come to the checkout page, enter the code in the Voucher Code section to activate the extra saving.

“Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” —Maya Angelou
This is the brand-new book from round the world motorcycle traveller Sam Manicom and friends. Sam, working with motorcycle overlanding friends has compiled and published The Moment Collectors ASIA. Launch date October 20th 2024.
The thought behind the book? Take 20 motorcycle travellers from nine countries, experienced and novice, and ask them to write about travelling the world’s largest and most diverse continent: to share a moment from those travels which became priceless. A moment that had them thinking,
‘Yes. This is exactly why I’m out here.’
Connected by motorcycles and an insatiable curiosity, the moment collectors take readers from the heat of the central Asian steppes to the snow-topped mountains of Nepal, from backroads India to riding the history of Korea, and from the forests of Burma to the extremes of eastern Siberia.
Some of the moment collectors ride two up, some ride in pairs, and there are solo riders too. Their chapters are illustrated by over 70 drawings and paintings, plus 20 colour photographs, and the Foreword is by Elspeth Beard. You’ll recognise many of the authors, but you’ll also come across some of the writers for the first time. It’s a brilliant way to not only discover authors, to get a taste of their writing styles, but to vicariously travel an incredible continent. Asia. Be warned. You may end up with itchy feet.
The Moment Collectors ASIA is rounded off with pages of contacts, clubs, companies and social media groups. All of which can enhance travels across this enthralling part of the world.
Traverse Magazine ‘The Moment Collectors Asia is possibly the travel book of 2024.’
