, around since 1922, sells new and used motor-
cycles with a guaranteed buy-back option. For two- to three-week 'rental' periods you'll
still have to pay the full cost of the bike upfront. The company prefers to deal with longer-
term schemes (two months or more), which work out cheaper anyway. A used 150cc or
225cc Bajaj or Honda costs around ?50,000, with a buy-back price of around 60% after
three months. Smaller bikes (100cc to 180cc) start at ?25,000. The company can also ar-
range shipment of bikes overseas (around ?30,000 to the UK).
