The bikes...
Triumph Bonneville Bobber
The Triumph Bobber carries an overwhelmingly cool presence which demands attention wherever you are. From its cut-short rear and fat tyres to its beefy liquid-cooled, parallel twin, 1200cc engine. This little bob-job carries a huge database of customisation options with an even bigger fanbase worldwide. Initially unveiled in 2016, the Triumph Bobber became their fastest ever selling bike.
Carrying that cool factor wherever you go, the Bobber also has a tone of sophistication and class - a perfect combo for the more experienced rider. This bike offers an upright, forward riding position and a low seat height - ultimately converting to a low centre of gravity.

Kawasaki Z650RS
The Kawasaki Z650RS instantly resembles the Kawasaki Z1, a much-loved model from the early 70s. This classic has been remastered with industry-leading modern technology like LED lighting, a TFT digital display, ABS, etc. This modern naked motorcycle offers a fun-to-ride and full-of-character liquid-cooled, parallel twin 649cc engine. The Z series, including the RS range is known for fantastic reliability. You'll most likely have no problems with this "bulletproof" engine.
Bringing retro back in Kawasaki's 'retrovolution', you'll look and feel the part on a Z650RS. This bike has a user-friendly neutral riding position and an 820mm saddle, (taller than the standard Z650), giving you a comfortable posture for most riding scenarios.

Suzuki SV650X
Creeping into the modern classic category from the cafe racer, is the Suzuki SV650X. This bike features a smooth revving, liquid-cooled, V-Twin 645cc engine that utilises dual spark technology and produces an extremely rider friendly experience. The SV650X packs some awesome features into its slim body design, like ABS, low rpm assist and an easy start system, making it great for new riders.
This motorcycle from stock, features a pleasingly deep exhaust note, meaning you wouldn't have to instantly cash out for a third party slip-on muffler. The rider will experience a slightly forward-leaning position keeping the cafe racer flavour flowing at full throttle.

Mutt Motorcycles FSR 125cc/250cc
Bringing retro inspiration to the table, the Mutt Motorcycles FSR is a lot of bike for your buck. Available in two engine sizes 125cc or 250cc, this bike flaunts its characterful styling with an outlaw custom-racer look. The FSR features tons of urban edge which you'll find throughout the entire bike. Other features on this pup are a CBS (Combined Braking System), LED lighting infusion and a headlight grill.
Mutt Motorcycles have built this bike to bring a sporty vibe to a retro-inspired motorcycle, hence its lightweight 17" cast wheels and lightweight chassis. This motorcycle is suitable for any rider looking to be that cool custom bike rider you see all over Netflix.

Yamaha XSR900
The Yamaha XSR900 was built to take on the competition whilst looking and feeling the part too. Leaving no race to a photo finish, it offers a hefty 117bhp, water-cooled, 890cc engine on a lightweight frame combined with historic Yamaha Racing influenced graphics. This bike comes with an abundance of features, including an in-depth TFT display, full LED lighting, high-performance brakes & suspension and a bunch of rider aids.
This is not a bike for the faint-hearted and it takes all of the MT10s racer attributes and packs them into a retro looking outfit. The XSR900 brings a flexible but relaxed riding position and the saddle gives a "sit-in" over "sit-on" feel due to the rear hump.

Laguna Motorcycles Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Laguna Motorcycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
Automotive Compliance’s FCA Regulated Complaints Post: Automotive Compliance Ltd, The Factory, 44 Alfred Street, Gloucester, GL1 4DD Telephone: 01452671560 E-mail: complaints@automotive-compliance.co.uk. If we cannot resolve your complaint within 8 weeks, you may refer your dispute to the Financial Ombudsman Service. This service is free to use.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
