The market is very different to what it used to be with regards to the popularity of sports bikes, yet Brad, Dale, and the team at Powerslide work incredibly hard with a lot of effort to get customers looking at superbikes on to GSX-Rs in particular, this award highlights our appreciation and our commendation. Customer feedback is also a testament to how well Powerslide cares for its customers and its clear the hard work is put in to make the business a real destination for new and repeat customers.”
Brad Clarke, Powerslide Motorcycles dealer principal, commented: “Having taken on the Suzuki franchise three years ago, just before this model was released, we knew it was going to be a huge success and in high demand but we never anticipated the amount of success and interest we have had. Supporting and enjoying success in British Superbikes and British Superstock with the likes of OMG Racing, we feel we’ve brought this bike to market to our customers with fresh ideas and genuine enthusiasm, and the team at Powerslide has offered a great product with great customer service.”
