Manleys Motorcycles: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Manley’s Motorcycles! I passed my CBT test today, and I have to give a massive shoutout to Adam, my instructor. He’s an absolute top bloke—so thorough, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. The rest of the team in the shop deserve just as much praise. Every single person I spoke to was friendly, approachable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It’s rare to find such a welcoming and professional atmosphere these days. I honestly can’t recommend the team at Manley’s Motorcycles highly enough. They’re the best in the business—10/10 without a doubt! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT with Manleys started off with twist and go with Barry and then came back for my gear training with Adam. I felt safe and comfortable with both the trainors. They both have explained things you need to learn from the bike itself to riding safely on the road. The training was overall fun! Defo 100% recommend Manleys

Fantastic experience: Took my bike in today older r6 as its have a few issues. I don't have a clue about the bike. Customer service levels are amazing. Can tell they actually care Sean went above and beyond helping me out. Changed a battery for me did not fit. Went in to find another one was literally helping me out side for like 20 minutes helping me.,talking to me about bikes . Would highly recommend to anyone for anything bike related.

Fantastic experience: Passed cbt, all thanks to Adam, great guy, brilliant teaching technique, would recommend
Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT ..... Hooray!! Thank you to Adam, for your patience and gentle approach. I have had an amazing day. Thank you so much Sharon
Fantastic experience: Just done my cbt with Adam, and what a pleasure to learn and ride with him. Even stopped of for a cheeky big mac. Very professional and down to earth guy, great trainer
Fantastic experience: Great (real world ) advise on motorcycles and equipment to suit all age groups and genders. Did CBT training today in quite challenging weather conditions and it was still a great day and a personal experience . I now feel equipped to be safer to take my learning experience to the next level . Recommend.
Fantastic experience: Always goes above and beyond to help if you've got a problem - even if you're just passing. Much appreciated!!
Negative experience: Hi people don't have a mot our work done at manleys as I will not be going back to a ship of motorcycles deals that give me a job to do go down the road and get same super glue to stick the broken plastic headlamp back in the caseing as it was a fail on my mot and had a few more things had fail when the work was done then was pass quick to the ship of a dealer keep out have on parts Spend you money in best motorcycle dealers
You nipped next door for us to get glue to hold your bulb in place as a temporary fix until new headlight arrives. The other mechanics had gone home and the bike instructors were still training, so made it difficult to nip to the shop,so I asked if you could walk next door to purchase a tube of glue?This was needed to keep a valid mot on your bike and so you didn’t have to ride the bike home in the dark. This is the most ridiculous review I have ever read, there is quite clearly something wrong with you to leave such a review.
Fantastic experience: To be totally honest about these guys they have had hell with my Aprilia rs125 2t it’s been a nightmare for them. BUT they have worked through all the problems form the past owner and got it up and running like the bike it should be. Having had a full engine rebuild and tuning. So pleased with the end result! Highly recommend them to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Had a tyre fitted today. Great service and very friendly.
Fantastic experience: Loved it!
Fantastic experience: Enjoying the relationship with Manleys. Great staff and advice and endless banter. See you again soon. Loving the new Zontes.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved our training day with Adam, he was patient, helpful and super knowledgeable, no such thing as a silly question with Adam he’s happy to answer wherever possible, I felt so comfortable and confident in my ability after being shown by Adam. I can’t recommend manleys enough all the staff are fantastic and always willing to help wherever possible! Here’s a photo of us enjoying the sunshine on this crisp windy day featuring the famous “Adam”
Fantastic experience: Came to these guys for a CBT knowing nothing about motorbikes. Ended up also buying a motorbike and I couldn’t be happier, they were very informative and helped me out so much! Thanks to Adam and everyone at Manleys!
Fantastic experience: I had my CBT with Adam on the 22nd September. I was very nervous having never even sat on a motorbike before. I chose to do gears which I thought would help my progression to the next stage of testing and larger bikes. My instructor Adam was great, he was methodical, patient and very knowledgeable building up my confidence in small increasing steps until we got out onto the open road. First class, thank you.
Fantastic experience: Bought a Jacket, trousers and gloves from Manley’s love everything about my gear 100% recommend, even ordered my jacket in for me didn’t take long at all. Adam was very nice and knowledgeable in helping me with what would be best for me to do instead of jumping on a geared without knowing fully how to use it. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming, can’t wait to do my cbt. Thank you for being so kind!!!
Fantastic experience: I was at Manleys motorcycles on Tuesday the 12th I had the pleasure of taking my cbt test in this facility with very kind faces.

He was chatty and easy to talk to this made the experience a lot easier as I was nervous thank you everyone at Manleys really do appreciate you all

Fantastic experience: Recently renewed my CBT with Manley's. Brilliant as always. The instructor, Adam, was ever so friendly and helpful. In the same week they did my MOT and the service was as good as it could be. The guys at Manley's are polite, professional and always happy to have a helpful chat. It is the most welcoming and genuine place I've found. They also make a cracking cup of tea! When I come to do my DAS next year, I'll definitely use them, and at this rate they'll most likely end up selling me a bike too!
Fantastic experience: Had my CBT today with Adam.He was first class brilliant instructor.Come away a better rider and learned a lot. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Adam at Manleys couldn’t have been any better if your looking to do your CBT I’d recommend manleys every time
Fantastic experience: We just completed our CBT with Adam, he has the patience of a saint with a husband and wife team who had never been on motorbikes before. The day was long but we loved every min. We both are planning to complete our full licences in due course. Thankyou so much for your help.
Fantastic experience: My son and I completed our CBT today. Adam the instructor was great. Patient and taught at a balanced pace - not so fast that you get nervous, but quick enough that you don't get bored. I last rode on a motorbike when I was 16 (I had an accident) and nearly 35 years ago, so I was a bit nervous. Adam was very understanding and put me at ease. So, even if you're a bit apprehensive about dipping your toe in the water, do your CBT with Manley's. Thanks Adam and Sean for your support
Fantastic experience: Staff very helpful and great service. Would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great teacher (adam), interesting staff, made cbt relaxed highly recommend, if your nice you'l get a cuppa too ;)
Negative experience: Worst dealer ever, avoid
No idea who you are or where you from or whether you even have a motorcycle or scooter. But sounds like you would be the worst ever customer so best for all dealers to avoid
Fantastic experience: Good all round motorcycle shop. Sales,service,mot, repair,training and clothing. Good friendly service. Recomend this place for all motorcyclists.
Fantastic experience: Recently done my CBT with Richard, struggled at first in the group session and he suggested that I finish the rest of my CBT in a 1 to 1 so he could focus on helping me, he’s a brilliant instructor and a really nice guy, would recommend him to anyone as he is patient and understanding and wants you to pass, for him it’s not a job it’s a passion. Also started a finance contract with Manleys, everyone there is really kind, friendly and helpful. Can’t praise them enough.

Fantastic experience: I would like to Thanks Adam for his excellent instruction on Wednesday of this week, enabling me to obtain my CBT certificate and rides Bikes again after 38 years. He is a credit to Manley's and should be commended for his tuition. I would thoroughly recommend Adam and Manley's to anyone wishing to learn. Outstanding Service. Thank you so much for all your help.
Fantastic experience: Just went for a look very friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of bikes and clothing considering its not very big shop. Highly recommended if your in the area.
Negative experience: Done my cbt test. The bikes aren't that good couldn't change gear when I got out on to the open road and I been riding for a few years. I had to pay a extra £60 to finish the test of on another day. Also the moped is kmph not mph. The instructor isn't that knowledgeable. I go somewhere else next time. No one told me about the kph plus I said I finish it off on a twist and go not you bring Richard back he is alot better and more understanding
Hi heather thankyou for taking the time to leave a review. You were quite capable of changing gear whilst in the training area, however once on the road ride you struggled to change gear. The instructor stopped and demonstrated there was nothing wrong with the bike, but unfortunately you were still unable to operate the vehicle safely. We advised at this point to re book the training on a twist and go scooter for your safety, you came back the following week and successfully completed the CBT. With regards to the scooter being in kph it also quite clearly displays mph in the centre in BLUE writing.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly staff, done my cbt with them and learned a couple new things from them.
Fantastic experience: Really good place to do your CBT BIKE training. I had a really nice day lovely people really helpful
Fantastic experience: Can’t thank the guys enough picked my bike up serviced and mot ready for my return from doing my mod 1 and mod 2 tests with there fantastic bike trainer Richard learnt many skills for my future riding
Fantastic experience: Great friendly service, excellent knowledge and quick delivery
Fantastic experience: Just purchased a new Royal Enfield from Manleys Motorcycles when my local dealer went into administration. Having found that Manleys had stock I called, discussed the bike, and paid a deposit. A visit to the dealership to view the bike was a relaxing experience and well worth the 160 mile round trip. The great service shown to other customers whilst I was there reinforced my view that here is a dealership that really cares about its clients and gives honest, open advice. I must say that Sean made the whole buying process a real pleasure, all topped off by a personal delivery of the bike yesterday. Well done and thank you.
Fantastic experience: Friendly ,- staff & customers.great selection of bikes and equipment.
Thankyou graham for such great feedback
Negative experience: We asked these people to look at my sons moped. It wasn’t running well after he did his CBT with them. They told me the repairs would cost more than the bike. £1300 Written off basically apparently they said we’ve been ripped off. Took it to a different garage who took the time to repair the bike for a small amount. It’s on the road running great. These people are not the right place to go for mopeds or low cost bikes. They don’t have the time or inclination to bother with small jobs. -1 star
I am sorry you feel you have to give us 1 star review for refusing to fix your sons moped, I was trying to be honest with you on the condition of the said vehicle. Having been in the trade for such a long time we know that although one fault will get fixed another will occur a week later and the vehicle turns into a money pit. This is why we refuse to get involved with such an old vehicle. So just to clarify you purchased an old moped privately for your son unfortunately paying several times it’s market value which broke down the first day he used it, you brought it to us to have a look and we said we didn’t want to get involved with any repairs as it’s to old.
Fantastic experience: Got my first motorbike helmet and jacket here, the staff was really helpful and great to talk too.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful; recommended affordable solutions, my BMW suspension unit failed and they had me back on the road in no time at all.
Fantastic experience: Good knowledgeable staff, easy to deal with, done my CBT with them and they made it very enjoyable.
Fantastic experience: Perfect advice n lovely reliable bikes
Fantastic experience: Harley had his 1st MOT today. Staff here are very approachable and knowledgeable. Great selection of bikes, clothing and accessories. Will use again
Fantastic experience: Good, honest and friendly independent motorcycle dealer. Reasonably priced servicing, and good stock of clothing, accessories and bikes. Nice people to do business with. Review update: just bought a superb low mileage Triumph from these guys - Sean & Jan were amazing and the fuelling issue we identified was sorted at some cost to them I may add - it is a beautiful bike and this is the kind of dealer that sets the standard for others.
