MotoGB is the new distributor for Indian scooter brand LML. The Chorley, Lancs, company, already distributors for SYM, Benelli, Keeway, Daelim and MV/Cagiva, take over from EP Barrus, the previous distributor of the retro-style Indian manufactured scooter based on the original PX Vespa that LML at one time made as joint venture partners with Piaggio.
MotoGB is initially importing a six model range of four and two stroke powered models, five with twistgrip gear change plus a new 125 with automatic transmission. All six have a dealer margin of 20 per cent plus five per cent settlement and come with stocking plans of up to 360 days with up to 180 days free of charges.
All the scooters also come with MotoGB’s Options package offering buyers a choice of free or subsidised insurance and zero interest (£99 deposit/24 months) or 4.9 per cent (£99 deposit/36 months) finance packages. Alternatively, there is a free rider pack comprising helmet, jacket and gloves. If none of the options are taken up by the buyer, the dealer receives a registration bonus of £150 on top of the normal margin.
MotoGB anticipates the new four-stroke Star 125 with automatic transmission will be one of the top sellers and an initial shipment of 200 machines is now going out to dealers. The Star Auto has an on-the-road price of £2499 against £2399 for the manual change version. Other four-strokes, all with manual change, are the Star 150 at £2699 and Star 200 at £2899. Prices are on-the-road.
Two two-strokes complete the new LML line-up, the Star 125 retailing at £2199 and the Star 150 at £2499. Like the four strokes, all have electronic ignition and electric/kick starting and all models are sold with a two-year parts and labour warranty. Dealer selling aids include point-of-sale material, including new brochure, a free micro website link and a web portal for parts and warranty.
