Not sure about motorcycles but 3 years ago they did sell mopeds, one 50cc and a 125cc IIRC.

FWIW Tesco Direct sell motorcycles and scooters/mopeds (click here).

Thumbs Up

Argos did sell scooters and 125s yes.

Don't think you'd get one over the counter though.

"Nah, I'll just let it fall apart right here."

Bizarre thing to try, but then again, maybe they were ahead of their time - Lexmoto and Direct Bikes are both outselling Suzuki, and there's been a huge surge in 125 sales over the past few years.
