Tesco now sell motorbikes

[Fifteen15]

So Tesco have started selling motorbikes. I can imagine they'd sell quite a few, especially from young kids that don't really know what they're doing. With the £20 off if you spend £200 offer, and if you can get hold of a staff discount card (10%) it would come up at £1200 and you'd earn £50 worth of Clubcard points. Actually starts to sound appealing with all the discounts. How long until they start selling Jap bikes?

With the Motoroma SK 125cc you get an excellent retro styled commuter bike with responsive handling that is ideal for both novice and experienced riders. This blue bike comes in European commuter styling, and packs a 125cc oil/air cooled 4-stroke engine to help you power your way through the traffic and is also fuel efficient. This bike comes with an electric and kick start with CDI ignition and a 5-speed constant mesh transmission system helps you get the most out of your engine. The SK 125 has cast wheels with a wavy disk front brake for maximum stopping power in case somebody is not looking properly and pulls out in front of you. Plus a 130mm drum brake on the rear wheel. This SK 125 is a sensible commuter bike that has a 12L fuel tank and will return good fuel economy with decent performance.

Looks OK. Not Chinese, which is a good start.

"packs a 125cc oil/air cooled 4-stroke engine to help you power your way through the traffic"

No doubt then, this bike has a top speed of at least 120mph.

To be honest surprised they aren't tried to sell cars/bikes already. Could even have scrap in cars for so many points, wonder how much they could make off of that.

Not a new thing: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/motoroma-sk-125cc-blue-tescodirect-was-1-499-00-now-1-289-00-1177147 .
Drum brake not a big problem on the rear Fowlersrs - recent YBRs still have a drum on the rear and it's perfectly adequate for locking up the wheel - don't really need more than that!

[waffles]

Not much clearance on the back wheel, skinny people only then I guess!

A) MotoRoma is a half decent brand.


B) Fuck all wrong with a rear drum brake.

Do you reckon I could get away with putting it through as 6 oranges on the self serve?

Profit?

It also occurs to me that bikes (scooters at least) used to appear in Argos catalogues and, even longer ago, the original dealer network for Tomos step thrus was Woolworths (although I may have dreamt the last bit).

The front disc looks tinnnnny even for a Chinky bike.

Didn't Argos used to sell bikes and peds years ago?
