Republic Motor Pte Ltd

Best for first-time buyers who want a patient, guided sales process, and for owners of common Japanese and Zontes models needing routine service or accident repair. Ask for Keith on the sales floor, Ah Boon or Ah Chun in the workshop. Pin every freebie and discount to the final quotation in writing before paying deposit.

The lowdown. Multi-brand motorcycle shop on the fourth floor of Ark@KB in Kaki Bukit. New and second-hand sales sit alongside a workshop that handles servicing, accident repair and trade-ins. This is one of several Republic Motor outlets, with a sales floor run by Keith and Jimmy and mechanics led by Ah Boon and Ah Chun.

What riders say. Sales is the main visit. Ask for Keith on the floor. He walks first-time buyers through COE, insurance and test rides without pressure, and the same patience carries through to trade-ins, including two-bikes-for-one swaps. Brands moving through include Zontes (368GV2), Yamaha (XSR 155, R15 V4, Aerox Turbo) and Kawasaki (ZX-4RR).

Workshop work runs in the background. Engine overhauls on older second-hand bikes, accident repairs, oil-and-filter swaps that finish in under an hour. Mechanics polish and wash the bike before handover, even on five-year-old commuters. New-bike collections come wrapped with a red cloth and a red ribbon over the tank.

Overhauled my second hand XSR 155 here and it's running good as new. They even polished it up.

• Located on level 4 of Ark@KB, off Kaki Bukit Ave 6.
• Test rides arranged before purchase, ask in advance.
• Trade-ins handled, including two-bike consolidations into one purchase.
• One of multiple Republic Motor outlets across Singapore.
