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 £4800 on this Harley-Davidson Pan America S
Harley-Davidson’s first stab at a modern adventure bike has been a bold move (similar in fact to BMW’s attempt with its R 18 to build a US style cruiser) and although the result, launched in 2021, is a great bike, with 150bhp, adaptive ride height and more, it remains slightly left-field and under-appreciated – which is why you’ll see plenty of dealer discounts. This example offers a bigger saving than most. It’s a brand new, top spec ‘S’ model (with adaptive ride height but cast wheels), is being offered by leading dealer Sycamore and has just been reduced by a whopping £4800 taking it down from the usual £19,295 to now just £14,495.

Save £3092 on this KTM 1290 Super Duke GT
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the new model launches for 2025 you may have seen that Austrian brand KTM is producing a new 1390 Super Duke GT sports-tourer for 2025 based on 2024’s 1390 Super Duke naked. That means dealers are looking to shift unsold 2024 1290 versions, as is the case here. Leading dealer Fowlers of Bristol is currently offering this brand new, 2024 1290 example – which, with 170bhp, fabulous handling yet upright all-day comfort, was already one of the best sports-tourers around – with a hefty £3092, so taking it down from the usual asking price of £18,999 to now just £15,907.

Get £2512 off a Yamaha TMAX
Another brilliant machine that’s getting an update for 2025 which means that dealers are keen to clear unsold old stock which can result in big discounts. Yamaha’s class-leading super-scoot, the TMAX 560, has been the definitive classy commuter thanks to its 100mph performance, great handling and luxury features, but at £14,000+ it’s also sometimes a hard sell. This brand new, 0-mile, 2023 example, however, is currently being offered by West Sussex dealer OnTheWheel with a full £2512 off its usual price of £14,011 so taking it down now to just £11,499.

Get £1500 off the BSA Gold Star
BSA was the latest of the British heritage brands to be revived (following the likes of Triumph and Norton) when Indian giant Mahindra bought it and launched its first new product, the Gold Star 650 in 2022. It’s a great effort, too, with an all-new 45bhp 652cc single, sweet detailing and enough authenticity to rival the likes of Triumph’s Bonneville and Royal Enfield’s 650 Interceptor. Best of all, though, at an initial £6499 it was already competitive, but now it’s been reduced by a further £1500 to take it down to just £4999 which, by our reckoning, is an absolute steal.

Get this Ducati Panigale V4 R with £2484 off
Ducati’s track specification version of its Panigale V4 R is probably the ultimate superbike for the street, with well-over 200bhp, a phenomenal electronics package, the best cycle parts you can buy and mouth-watering Italian looks – so how about this for bargain example? It’s a 70-plate example with just 2903 miles under its wheels, is being offered by used bike specialists Superbike Factory and has just had its price reduced by a massive £2484 so taking it down from the previous £26,484 to now just £24,000. It even comes with free delivery.

Save £935 on this BMW F850GS Adventure TE
While BMW’s boxer-powered R1250 and R1300 GS remains the UK best-selling big adventure bike, its little brother, the parallel twin R850GSA is arguably an even better all-rounder due to its lighter weight and better off-road ability. Being slightly overlooked almost means it can sometimes be a used bargain – as is the case here. This 21-plate example is being offered by used bike specialists Superbike Factory, has covered 13,763 miles, is the top spec TE version and has just been reduced by a further £935 taking it down from £8885 to just £7950 – and again it comes with free delivery.

Save £789 on this Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled
While, finally for this week, how about this for a great but now discontinued retro roadster that’s still ‘bang on trend’ and is now also being offered at a bargain discounted price? Ducati’s Desert Sled is the more full size, trail bike styled version of its popular 800cc V-twin Scrambler and has bags of style and versatility. This example is on a 17-plate, has covered just 5794 miles and has just been reduced by used bike specialists Superbike Factory by a full £789 taking it down from the previous £6990 to now just £6200.

With a long tradition of expertise in the motorcycle field, the company was founded in 1959 by Roger Maughfling, who was a truly passionate enthusiast and loved all things with motors, especially motorcycles.
He opened a motorcycle repair shop in Mid Wales UK, and back in those days, pioneers in industry needed to be able to produce their own parts. It was not many years after the second war and parts rationing still existed in the UK. Roger was often missing parts and in particular sprockets, for the bikes in the shop. The need gave way to the solution and the first crude sprockets were turned out for grateful clients. As the business grew, Supersprox found a place in the market for more and more sprockets. Eventually the motorcycle repair shop turned into a small sprocket production, with Roger inventing and creating day and night. Over time more people joined the growing company as the market demanded the higher quality parts.
By 1975, the company had its own product name (Supersprox) and was to be found on bikes rolling out of Husqvarna in Sweden, Maico in Germany and also Triumph and Norton in the UK.
Supersprox were the first company to produce aluminium sprockets, way back in 1967. Although common today, they were cutting edge back then. They patented the aluminium and steel combination sprocket back 2000. This was a jump in reality for customers and competitors. Today the concept is accepted throughout the motorcycle industry as the best performing sprocket type, and a third sector was born.
Supersprox are now true world leaders in the production of performance bike sprockets and are a supplier to several European motorcycle producers, KTM, Husqvarna, Beta and Honda Italy.

If you’re looking for glamourous exotica that’s currently being offered with a big dealer discount, look no further.

Get £2405 off a Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S
Historic Italian marque Moto Guzzi made a great return to ‘form’ to coincide with its centenary year in 2021 with the launch of the all-new V100 Mandello – a sports tourer that retains Guzzi’s traditional V-twin and shaft drive but with an all-new, 120bhp liquid-cooled engine, up to date electronics and even, in ‘S’ form Ohlins suspension and active ‘aero’.

Get £2221 off this Yamaha Tracer 9GT+
While, on the subject of discounted great sports-tourers, how about this. Yamaha’s already brilliant three-cylinder Tracer9 GT reached new heights in 2023 by gaining, in ‘GT+’ trim, radar-guided cruise and braking assistance, new TFT dash and switchgear and further improved chassis and suspension making what was already one of the best sports-tourers available also one of the best equipped. It wasn’t cheap, though, at £15,016 – except here. Raceways motorcycles is currently offering this example with a full £2221 off, so taking its price down to just £12,795 on the road!

Get this Ducati Diavel with £1134 off
With the all-new V4 Diavel now taking over Ducati’s power cruiser duties since its introduction in 2023 the knock-on effect of that is that the previous V-twin version can sometimes prove to be a used bargain, as is the case here. This mint, 20-plate example in gleaming black is currently being offered by used bike specialists Superbike Factory, has covered just 3203 miles and has just been reduced by a further £1134 so tasking its price down from the previous £12,384 to now be available for just £11,250!

Save £900 on this Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin
How about this for a brilliant used example of one of the best adventure bikes available that’s now even more tempting due not only to a big dealer discount but also a ‘price match’ promise and even free delivery? It’s a 69-plate example of Honda’s excellent Africa Twin, has covered just 2325 miles and used bike specialists Superbike Factory has just reduced its price by a further £900 so taking it down from the previous £9986 to now be on offer for just £9086.
DEAL LINK: superbikefactory.co.uk
Save £900 on this Triumph Tiger 1200 GT
While, finally for this week, how about another brilliant adventure bike but this time one with three, not two cylinders but that again is currently being offered with a great dealer discount? This Tiger 1200 GT is currently being offered by used bike specialists Superbike Factory, is a 2023 example and has covered just 1047 miles so is virtually as new, is in mint condition and even comes with a very useful aluminium top case. Best of all, though, it’s just been reduced by £900 so taking its price down from the previous £14,990 to now just £14,090!

We have teamed up with Sportsbikeshop to offer BikeSocial members some fantastic discounts through our BikeSocial Shop. And as these deals are exclusive to BikeSocial members, you won’t find them anywhere else! So how does saving an extra £10 on a Shark Spartan RS helmet in matt silver/yellow sound?
The Shark Spartan RS is a stylish sports helmet that comes not only with Shark’s recognised and trusted name on it but also a huge array of features – not to mention a stylish matt silver/yellow paint scheme. Made from a multi-composite construction, the Spartan RS meets ECE 22.06 legislation and is the first of the firm’s lids to have achieved this result. Featuring a visor with the firm’s ‘four anchor points’ (as used on the Race-R GP Pro), the Spartan RS has a Pinlock visor insert, triple front air intake, removable lining and an internal sun visor. Not only that, it is also covered by Shark’s five-year warranty.
