Considering buying a bike from them. Are they any good?

Thanks - Simon.

Short answer - yes, very good.

I've had 3 bikes in 3 years from Martin and Chris (and now Ian) including two 888 SP's.

They're not the cheapest (maybe I'm no good at haggling) but very straight and helpful.

Thoroughly recommended.

Btw what were you thinking of having? I was up there last week so had a pretty good look at most of the current stock.

Yup .... very good. And helpful

Price is not bad compared to "real" dealers

[Paul James]

Have a word with Martin Westbrook there.

I was down there last Saturday talking to Martin, not looking not at a Ducati, but a new Aprilia RSV R (Sorry!). They are currently still £300 more expensive the best price I have been quoted (That's after haggling and getting £700 off their original price), but are the closest dealer to me.

As above - a bit pricey sometimes - but Martin will look after you. After my **** experience in buying a new ducati somewhere unknown to me (and having appalling after sales), i'd probably be inclined to spend a bit extra when your spending that sort of money..

I would echo that, never dealt with Forza Italia but would rather pay a bit extra and buy from one of the dealers who get good reviews on here. The muppets I bought mine from have to my knowledge not had a positive posting in the last two years except for the italian open day they hold annually.
