I found the whole process very enjoyable.
I was in car sales for 33 years so I understand the way things work but I found your process so relaxing and not under pressure it was perfect.
James was super helpfull and a dream to deal with.
The bike was also presented in perfect condition for it's age.
Many Thanks to all your staff .

Service department need to start commuicating to customers
Been using Lings for a while now. Had a couple of Bikes from them and cant complain about the sales side. However todays experince with the service department was less than satifying. Ordered a new front tyre for my wifes Speed twin as this was advised to change at the last service. Lings was not the cheapist for this but I chose them out of loyalty. Got to Lings for the alloted time and was told, sorry your tyre will be here tomorrow. No phone call to tell me not to come and just told sorry I am new here!So a wasted 75 mile round trip in the rain and the loss of half a days pay. Not good enough Lings!

Hi Jason, thank you for your feedback and we are genuinely sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Unfortunately, the tyre did not arrive from our supplier as confirmed ahead of your booking. While the majority of deliveries arrive as expected, on this occasion this specific tyre was missing from the consignment despite the rest of the order arriving.
Due to the timing of the booking and delivery schedule, we were unfortunately unable to contact you before you had already begun travelling. In hindsight, allowing a larger buffer between delivery and booking would have been the better approach and is something we will review internally.
We completely understand your frustration regarding the wasted journey and time lost, and we were equally disappointed that the tyre had not arrived as expected. Since then, the tyre has arrived and we have attempted to contact you to discuss rebooking and how we may be able to put things right, however we have unfortunately been unable to reach you so far.
We do appreciate your loyalty to Lings over the years and thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

A disappointing experience
I had to wait 4 months for delivery, everytime I rang for an update I felt I was being a nuisance and was told "I said I would ring you when I know where it is". When I was eventually told it was here it was then changed to it isn't yours it is someone else's. This was all very disappointing, Lings would have been much better just telling the truth and saying we don't have a clue where it is or when you will get it. By the time it arrived the excitement had passed and I didn't really care anymore. When the bike did arrive on the van by a very nice guy it was rolled down the van ramp and I immediately said something isn't right here it all looks on the skew. He agreed it didn't look right. When rode it I realised that the handle bars were on the skew by a long way so I had to return the bike the next day for adjustment. It made me wonder why it took a week to be checked before I received it. The service department was excellent, the lady on reception and the technician were very helpful and apologised for the situation. That said I am very disappointed with the overall buying experience.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your buying experience did not meet the standards we aim to provide and appreciate your honest comments.
Unfortunately, the delays experienced with your motorcycle were due to supplier delivery times outside of our direct control. At the point of order, the forecasted arrival was March/April, however this was later delayed by several weeks. Whilst we regularly chased for updates on your behalf, the systems available to us do not provide live tracking information, meaning we can only pass on the information provided by the manufacturer at the time.
We do appreciate how frustrating this must have been, particularly as the expected timescales changed during the process. We did our best to maintain regular communication throughout and provide updates whenever new information became available, although we fully understand this did not lessen the disappointment caused by the extended wait.
In relation to the allocation confusion, the first unit we received was for a customer whose order had been placed over two months prior, despite their motorcycle only arriving only a few weeks before yours. Once your motorcycle arrived with us, it was prepared within days and we arranged delivery at the earliest opportunity.
We also apologise that the handlebars required adjustment after delivery. Whilst this was quickly resolved by our service team without delay, we appreciate the inconvenience this caused following delivery.
We have also attempted to contact you by phone following your review, however unfortunately we have been unable to reach you. We will try to contact you again to discuss this further, however if you would prefer, please feel free to return our call at your convenience.
Thank you again for your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that the overall experience affected the excitement of receiving your new motorcycle, and we will continue reviewing our processes and communication wherever possible.

Turned out to be a very expensive Service!
I had a new tiger 1200 out while mine was in (69 Reg Gen3) and I did not expect to like the new one so much, as loved the Gen3, but was night & day. The sales guy didn't have to twist my arm too much when I got back.
Great bike, great service from Sales & Service Dept.

Sounds like that service visit turned into quite the upgrade! Once you ride the new Tiger 1200, it’s hard to go back—glad to hear it made such an impression compared to your Gen 3.
Great to know both our Sales and Service teams looked after you throughout, and we hope you’re loving every mile on your new Tiger 1200 Alpine Edition—an incredible bit of kit.
Enjoy the ride, and we’ll see you again soon!

The decision to move from a sports bike…
The decision to move from a sports bike to a adventure was a difficult one.. Took me over a year to even enter the shop…. I was considering the Tiger, GS, Ducati and African. Harry at Lings Watton made the process easy, no pressure, a long test ride organised and the special addition desert sitting in the show room. All went very smoothly and I couldn't ask for better service.

We know making the move from a sports bike to an adventure bike is a big decision, so it’s great to hear Harry made the whole process easy and pressure-free for you. A proper test ride and seeing that Tiger 1200 Desert Edition in the showroom must have sealed the deal!
We’re really pleased everything went smoothly and that you felt well looked after throughout.
