Formally Italia classics in Lincoln. I used to use these people when I had a Mk.1 Le mans, and later a 900 Monster, and they were spot on. Having decided that my Hayabusa was just too silly for the public roads, I had a yen for an S4R. Went to Itali Moto in Lincoln, and they were SPOT ON ! Made me a generous offer for my Busa, and a new red (of course) S4R for list, but including tax, reg. fee, datatag, tank pad, full tank of fuel, and labour on the first service.
Rang Ducati Leeds in Shipley, and they glibley said that as they were part of the Ducati store franchise, they could beat the deal, so I rode throug there. Nowhere near ! £450 less trade in, and none of the "extras" included, so a big up to Moto Italia, not least Tony Lembo, a man who is as good as his word. Thouroughly recommended. 5*
Bought my first ducati from them. Excellent bunch of guys!

Have bought both of our Monsters from them, absolutely spot on, Tony and all of the guys are brilliant. Craig the stores/service reception guy is very helpfull if you need parts or service, be warned though as they are so good they are always very busy so book early if you need a service.
10* excellent

Just got home from Italia. Once again they have done me proud.
The service cost £260! Not the £700 that was accidently quoted to me..they must of got me muddled with someone else.
They changed my disk as it was warped not questions. And will sort my engine flaking out not a problem.
I think mand was also very please as well.

Yeah I saw the manager stomp off in a mardy when you critisized them and asked for some sort of compensation, then clearly heard him saying that you had connected your battery the wrong way round ! I`m sure everyone thinks their wonderful I just have a different view.

They did it again. Because of my hectic schedule, they accepted the bike in, a week before the service day, AND lent me a bike to get home 50 miles on, knowing that the bike would be in my garage for over a week, till I could get back to collect. Service cost was included in the purchase price, so only had to pay for consumables. Said it before, & will say it again, a top dealership.

Maybe they saw pictures on the Ducati UK website of FB in his one piece suit at Mallory, and decided to name the sofa after him as a tribute?
Hmmm.. perhaps he could even blag some personal sponsorship from DFS, World of Leather etc... for the next trackday? :D
