Andy Sills Motorcycles was established in 2008, with Andy selling quality, used sports bikes from his dad’s car site. In 2012 he graduated to his own site, a small shop in Widley. After a few years the business grew to include the increasing demand for smaller motorcycles and scooters.
This encouraged a move to a larger unit in Southsea, where more stock of the ever popular 50cc and 125cc motorcycles could be held. In 2018 we moved into our current home at White Heather, where we have three technicians available for MOT’s and servicing, diagnostic and repair work. We have a variety of motorcycles in stock, and available to order. As well as all the necessary safety equipment to keep you safe on the road.
