Bacons Motorcycles - www.baconsmotorcycles.co.uk

Just had my Z900RS serviced, bike feels smooth and crisp, mechanics are top notch. Friendly and helpful, highly recommended.

I have used this business since they had their small shop in Hackney. They are efficient, effective and always ready to help. I would recommend them to anyone. A great bunch of chaps.

Bought a new Kawasaki ZR 1400 performance sport. The owner very helpful chap and a pleasure to do business with . Good service from service staff very happy .

Bacons say me coming a mile away took my 125 in for a service and they overcharged for oil and when I looked at it they've not changed the oil filter as I had put witness marks on it beforehand and then I apparently had a puncture which I had not noticed when going in and I still can't find the repair they did.

Terrible service as I'm 18 they assumed I'm clueless and didn't have a clue not realising I'm a mechanic. Never use this company.

After purchasing my Bike New from the shop 7 Months ago, with a good purchase deal.

Just come back from Bacons after having my first service on my Kawasaki W800.

As always very happy eager staff, always willing to help, And Les goes through all details of work done on the bike with you.

Nice pleasant showroom, free Wi-Fi, flat screen telly and a mug of coffee, What more do you want?

Full 600 mile service, while i waited, with a new fuel pump fitted (warranty) done and dusted in 2 Hours.

yes would recommend them,must be doing something right they have been there for years ,you cant keep every body happy all the time we know. but they get my vote . spike.

Having used Bacon's for a number of years I can not recommend them highly enough. I have had a wide range of machines over the years and any time I have had any issues with a bike that I could not sort out myself they have always been able to rectify it, in a prompt and timely manner. Having moved from London to Cornwall a few years back, I'm no longer able to just pop along to them . (I have dropped in on a couple of occasions when I'm up visiting family and always made most welcome) but I still make regular use of their expertise by consulting them on the phone. I recently had a problem with my bike, which had left my local bike garage stuck (They had suggested several different parts at various prices) A quick phone call to Les, with a description of the symptoms gave an answer that was simple, cheap and solved the problem straight away.

I have only ever received good, friendly and professional service from them, and my only gripe is that they do not have a branch in Cornwall.

Saw the other two reviews and thought i better give you a real review instead of the very rare occurance that the other two guys had, Bacons is great with a friendly atmosphere and quality work, and the recent kawasaki overhaul has made the shop look great, they are certainly worth your time and thats from a guy thats been loyal to them for years, not two guys who have had one off bad experiences.

Having used Bacons Motorcycles in Newbury Park IG2 over the past few years i too have had the displeasure of using them for servicing, pre MOT checks, engine work and tyre fitting. Bacons seem to have a bad reputation locally for keeping bikes in for prolonged periods of time so that you cannot prove how long the bike has been worked upon by the mechanic and that it is always the customer chasing them for updates when you haven't heard back from them after a day or two.

They claim on their website to have the cheapest labour rate at just £39 + VAT per hour but it is not cheap when they claim to have spent 3+ hours for menial, basic to medium level tasks.

I have been very unhappy on a few occasions in the past but have given them the benefit of the doubt and usually assume that it was just a one off but they never fail to annoy me with their lengthy hours of labour when the cost of the parts is minimal.

I've been waiting for a week now to have my bike returned to me, it went in for a simple service and M.O.T but there were some issues and I agreed to let them fix them.

Customer service seems to have been forgotten, I am the one who has to contact them to see what stage the bike is at, they couldn't even be bothered to pick up the phone to tell me that the ( now three different deadlines ) could not be met.

If it wasn't for the fact that my M.O.T has now expired and I desperately need the work done, I would take my bike back and take it to another dealership who care!!

This is the last time I ever have any dealings with them!!
