New Bike Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I buy a Chinese bike from Motorcycles Online?
We have extensively researched the many and varied models of Chinese motorcycles available in the UK today. The machines we have chosen to sell represent the best combination of quality, performance and value. One of the most important factors in choosing these bikes has been the parts backup. Everyone will have heard the stories, “it was cheap to buy, but I can’t get any parts” All of our Chinese bikes are imported by one company. Based in Devon, they are the biggest Chinese bike importer in the UK. Shipping over 1,000 vehicles into the country per month, as well as storing enough products in their 36,000+ sq. foot warehouse to easily cater to demand. Parts can be ordered via the online parts system or by phoning the parts hotline direct.
With over 30 years experience in the motorcycle trade we know how important the initial set up is. All bikes will be assembled, safety checked and road tested by the Motorcycles-online mechanics. As with our used bikes we pride ourselves on doing the job right.
Whats included in the price?
The price you pay includes having the bike fully assembled and PDI’d, registered, number plate, 1 year’s road-tax, and 12 months warranty.
How do I register a new bike ?
You don’t, we will register your new bike with the DVLA. We will then send you all the relevant documentation. The V5 (log book) will be sent to you direct from the DVLA in approximately 3 to 4 weeks.
The Law
If you passed your test before 2001 and have a full car license you can ride up to a 50cc bike with 'L' plates, unless you are otherwise prohibited. If you passed your test after this date you would need to apply to the DVLA for a provisional bike license and complete a CBT.
To ride a 125cc bike you need at least to have a valid CBT certificate (these only last for 2 years). Please be aware that this is a guide only and is subject to legal change, so please refer to your driving licenses and the regulating authority the DVLA if unsure.
