RIDE & DRIVE MOTORSPORT

Best if you're consigning a higher-value used bike that has gone cold on Carousell, or buying a specific listing you've already locked onto. The husband-and-wife operation has a deeper bench of named sales staff than most used-bike shops in Singapore. Walk in cold without a target bike and you'll get a Carousell-style transaction rather than a showroom one. Get the final price, freebies and handover date written into the quotation before deposit.

The lowdown. Used-bike dealer in Kaki Bukit, recently moved to #06-45 at 25 Kaki Bukit Rd 4. Buy, sell, consign and refinance, with Ducatis, Suzukis, Harleys and other big bikes passing through. Live inventory sits on their Carousell page under rd_motorsport. Closed Sundays, open till 10 PM the rest of the week.

What riders say. Most visits start on Carousell or WhatsApp, then a viewing in Kaki Bukit. Consignment is the strong suit, with no consignment or admin fees and two-week turnarounds on bikes that had gone cold on private listings. A Hayabusa, a Panigale V4, a Ducati 848, a GSXR K9, a Harley Roadster and a DRZ400 are among the bikes that have moved through. On the buy side, bikes are serviced and sent for inspection before handover. Ask for Feeq, Haris, Ari, Lisa, Hairi, Nisa, Izz or Hilmi.

"Within 2 weeks they were sold which was way faster than expected."

The friction is on the sales side. Some first contacts come across rude. One quotation moved from $20,000 to $22,000 after IC details were collected, then communication went quiet. Pin price and freebies in the written quotation before any deposit.
