Dave Barkshire Motorcycles
RIDING INTO SUMMER
The start of 2025 not only saw many of our loyal customers treating themselves to new motocross, enduro and road bikes, but we also welcomed new customers who took delivery of their chosen bikes.
This Spring’s early warmth has encouraged riders to take to the road and many of our bikes have been across the UK, Europe and beyond on numerous foreign routes. As we see every year, riders will move back towards the dirt in the autumn when there is mud and puddles on the trails…
This year we have successfully trained more new riders through our Training School and we are very proud to have supported these motorcyclists of the future. Those of us from a certain era were born to ride, but these days there is a reduction in the take up of two wheels, so we must do our bit to ensure that budding riders enjoy motorcycles as much as we do, but with much better training than we were given.
Our off-road track near Swaffham, Hit the Dirt has again proved to be an invaluable training ground for both enduro racers and beginners alike, with another great season of riding development despite being closed a couple of times due to bad weather. For those preparing for events such as the Dave Barkshire 2-man Enduro Championship or riders who just relish a challenge, it’s the place to come.
Our Rackheath showroom continues to offer new road and off-road models from Fantic, Rieju, Sherco and our commuter bikes from Kymco. On this note, we are pleased to confirm that since the start of the year we have become the GPX Enduro and Kove Rally dealers in our region so please come and talk to us about your next new motocross, enduro or trials bike.
Our workshop at Rackheath is here for your servicing, MOT, tyres and suspension upgrades. Did you know that we are K-tech specialists and can transform your ride whether off-road, road or race bike? (Follow the link or come and talk to us to explore this popular enhancement).
Wishing you good riding for the summer season, where we look forward to welcoming you at our Showroom, Training School or Hit the Dirt.
