George White's will probably have the better deals but i'd steer well clear for servicing, they were double that of Artdeans (Also Swindon) trouble is with the latter is that it's not as big as GW's so offers are usually few and far between, but it's a buyers market, go to various stealerships and blag your way through it, tell em that so n so has said he'll do it for this price ;)

Welcome by the way :-D

To back up what Hovis said, Thunder Road are, IMHO, an excellent, friendly dealership with top-notch customer service in my experience. However, they are not the very cheapest for bikes.

Bevan's in Cardiff do Suzuki and Triumph. Again, not the cheapest but service is good and I hear good things about "Jethro" their mechanic.

Both of these a family-owned businesses with a reputation to protect, hence the service standards. Thunder Road is a huge place, Bevan's is small.

I would happilly buy from either, particularly if my next bike is in a loud green colour and has twin front headlights ;)

I Too Have Only Heard Bad Comments From South Wales Superbikes, But I Have No Experiance With Them, But They Do Have A Bike That I Have My Eye On But Its £500 Dearer Than Most Other Dealers
