So that's M&P gone - never brought a bike form them but one of the older retailers. Remember buying kit from them before Infinity and Sportsbikeshop took the market.
Another one bites the dust

Really. Fuckin hell. They’ve been around forever. JJH
I remember when the M&P catalogue was essential reading. Pretty much anything you could shake a stick at was available through their catalogue.

Guess you can thank the likes of aliexpress and the like,
Plus ebayers selling from their spare room,
European tyre sellers,
Give yourselves a big pat on the back
Use it or loose it

M&p did make a few mistakes too. JJHGuess you can thank the likes of aliexpress and the like,

yes, their biggest one was trying to expand to multiple retail sites. Backfired somewhat as they had little clue dealing with people face to face. There has been some pretty dodgy accounting with a load of toys put through the books if I recall correctly, and two mysterious warehouse fires ...
Sent me a tier with not for sale outside South America on the sidewall. JJH
I remember M&Ps operating out of a small retail premises on St Helens Road in Swansea. Then they got big. 12 years ago I had a Versys 1000 which I took to M&P for a service. They screwed up big time and Kawasaki UK were investigating their practices. That aside, I think they pandered to much to the likes of BMW and Honda with their solus showrooms and they just got too big without getting to know their customer base. Still, it’s a shame to see another dealership going down the tubes.
