Kawasaki dealers [EDITED]

[rypt]

Righto, with the new Ninja 250 getting released (at some point in the future hopefully), I need some help / opinions about where to actually get it (and some new semi-colour-matching gear).

There is a Kawasaki dealership here in Oxford, called TW Motorcycles, so if anyone knows about them then please give me some info on them.

Anyway, from doing some research it seems that George Whites is a good dealership to get the actual bike from - however thier branch here in Oxford is Yamaha only, meaning that if I wanted to sit on the bike before I bought it I'd have to go to Swindon (again, no problem with that I can go there if I must).

HOWEVER, what I ideally want to do is to get both the bike and some brand new Dainese gear at the same place or at places near to each other. From looking about, Sondel Sport in London seems like a good place to get the actual gear (again, anyone got stuff from them?) - but this means going to Swindon for bike and then to London for gear ...

Anyone know of any places next to each other that sell Kawasaki & Dainese stuff in the South-East area? i.e. London, Oxford, Swindon, Reading, Didcot, Maidenhead?

P.S.
London would probably be one of the best places to get everything from, but I dont know about any good Kawasaki dealers there...

You could try pegasus Kawasaki in Reading. If they don't sell Dianese, the Honda place is worth a call in reading.

Of course, not that you're asking, but I'd advise against buying both the bike and Dianese leathers .

thinking about it for the price of some Dainese leathers you can probably get some made to measures

I've seen some of the Dainese gear go for £500 for jacket £500 for pants, might as well spend £350 on made to measures top and £325 on pants that properly fit.

, though Sickpup says Bricklane is pretty dead for this kind of stuff now, leathers that is ,

Lloyd cooper motorcycles in North London might do Dainese, got my 636 from there last year, and staff were cool you get a discount card if you buy a bike there also.

Well, Dainese is not a must, but they seem to be one of the few that make the sort of stuff I was looking for

Basically, since the Ninja 250 is going to be Green (with the black seat area), and because I dont want to wear green gear, I was looking for some Black + a bit of Green TEXTILES (I'm not much of a leathers fan), sort of like the Dainese D-Dry (and I like the Dainese gloves).

Some of the Frank Thomas stuff George White have looks good, but its mostly Black & Blue

So yer, any good textile's that can be had in black with a bit of green and can be bought in a shop near to a Kawasaki dealership is ideal (I want to actually try on the jacket to see it fits mostly).

I know Kawasaki do some of thier own gear, but I've never read anything about how good it is quality wise, nor do I know of any shops that have them - as the Kawasaki site seems to suggest George White in Swindon stock them, but George White site has no mention of Kawasaki gear (may well have to phone them up closer to when the Ninja is actually out).



So yer, let change the "advice" request in this thread to just: Respectable Kawasaki dealership and some nice black + green textiles

Pegasus Kawasaki and HG in Reading are worth considering then (about a mile away from each other on the same road). Give Pegasus a call first, of course to check.

You will find very few green options with Dainese, especially if you have a look at the 2008 catalogue.

Infinity Motorcycles do both kawasaki's and Dainese gear, so you could come see me in the Clapham store

The 250 hasn't been released yet but you can come try on the gear in the mean time or whatever. We do Frank Thomas gear as well, but whilst its not bad, its cheaper for a reason and you will be replacing it within about a year ( although they do do a wicked 2 year warranty which is very easily mistreated )

Are you sure you want the 250cc though? Its not a sportsbike - its a mini ER-6f with a bigger fairing - doesnt even have clip-ons. A 400 or even a "proper" ER-6f would be a better option in my opinion.
