Pidcock Honda the case
By TMX Archives on 28th Apr 10
Honda (UK) has become the official UK importer and distributor for the Honda owned and world-renowned Montesa trials bike brand and, has appointed the reputable Pidcock Motorcycles as the country's sole Montesa dealer.
This is the first time the Montesa brand and products have been under the wing of Honda in the UK, bringing benefit to customers by offering full manufacturer backing.
Pidcock Motorcycles' reputation and history dates back to 1970, as a family business started by the late Roy Pidcock. With its roots embedded in the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire areas, the business today remains family run by Chris Pidcock from first-class premises in Long Eaton (Nottingham).
Pidcock's became an official Honda road bike dealer in 1997, also taking on the Honda off-road franchise three years ago. With Chris' passion for trials growing over 40 years since he first rode a trials bike at the age of 12, he jumped at the chance to become the Montesa dealer when the opportunity arose.
There are three models in the range, with the stripped-down racing version available for £6295, the standard 4RT available for £6495 and the stunning Toni Bou Repsol paint scheme replica priced at just £6995. A de-restriction kit for bikes intended for competition use is further available at £215.
Chris Pidcock said, "It's a great opportunity and privilege to be appointed as the sole Montesa dealer for the UK and I'm excited to have the opportunity to bring Honda back into the trials world, which is where I started my motorcycling career 40 years ago. Just like off-roading, trials is another great way to introduce newcomers to bikes and I'm looking forward to getting to know Montesa's current loyal customers, as well as introducing new customers to these fantastic machines and trials generally.”
