Come with me on a full walk-around of Optimum Bikes Ltd, one of York’s go-to destinations for quality used motorcycles and bike services!

Based just off the A64 near Bilbrough, Optimum Bikes has over three decades of combined industry experience and a huge selection of handpicked machines, from sportsbikes and tourers to retro and everyday riders.

In this video I explore:

• What makes Optimum Bikes different — relaxed, passionate, knowledgeable staff and a proper showroom vibe.

• How they prepare bikes — inspections, warranty options, finance and delivery across the UK.

• A look at the bikes currently on the floor and what you should know before buying a used motorcycle.

  1. Looks like they’ve expanded on bikes. I went there couple years ago when it was full of performance/prestige cars. Bikes used to be shoehorned in unit around the corner. Will have to have a ride out, when we get some sun 👍

  2. My first few bikes:
    Honda125ss
    Suzuki GT 250
    Honda CB 500/4
    Yam RD400
    Dunstall Suzi 380
    Honda 125 trail
    Honda 185 trail
    Honda CB 750
    Honda Phil Read rep
    Kawasaki Z1000R
    Yam R1
    Litre sports bikes and one or two BMW GS since
    Currently M1 and another GS.
    Now, I'm looking for a third bike.
    ✌️

  3. I live near and often go in for a browse and a brew. Fantastic bikes, lovely staff and they have a fantastic reputation from what I’ve heard . They’ve got a couple of immaculate very low mileage Fireblade SP’s in ……😅😅😅

  4. That is one amazing showroom with quality in abundance. I love looking around at these places but I never get the urge to have a collection, I’m too interested in either fixing, overhauling, modifying or just getting out and riding

  5. Great walk around & really handy that i watched this as im about to purchase a bike from there. Im located down south so to see how professional this dealership looks & its environment was very reassuring. Plus you actually filmed the bike so that was a plus 👍

  6. Optimum Bikes is probably the ultimate "big boys" toy shop for bikers,
    I've been a regular visitor for many years and they always have some truly fabulous bikes for sale, I just love the classic R1's & the original 1992 CBR900RR and would rather own one of those than a £30K V4 Ducati Panigale.

  7. what's the point of people going in their when there's not a cat in hells chance they can't afford everything in there think your self lucky you can there's more and more who cant

  8. Luke from Vector Rider Development here in the Northwest UK. Proper tour of the stock and vibes there — easy to see why anyone would be tempted at a place like that! Dangerous for the wallet indeed. It always amazes me how much personality and quirks a dealer can have, and sometimes that’s what makes the experience memorable. Have you picked up something from there yoursel yet or is a matter of time haha!

  9. I bought my bandit off them when the first opened in Thorpe arch, they service and mot every year,always fantastic.
    Whenever I call in for a look around always great to see them.
    Mike who sold the bandit always good for a chat, the young man in the video is without doubt the nicest young man about, well done Optimum.

  10. Great walk round video pal, fantastic showroom with really friendly helpful staff, i was like a kid in a sweet shop there. Bought my latest bike from them and got a sneaky peak of my street triple that I traded in the background as you walked around.

  11. Hi Jim, what a fantastic bike dealer. I have just looked on their website for the old Fireblades and the blue R1's but they are all gone!!! I couldn't believe it, but they have obviously got it right, high quality bikes, beautifully prepared and presented.

  12. YOU WALKED PAST THE BMW-M1000-R 6 TIMES AND NEVER MENTIONED IT! WHY? 🤦‍♂️ … Ducati Ducati Ducati 🤷🤣🤣🤣🤣 im not happy!
