In 1897 Robert Bevan left the family farm in West Wales to make his fortune in the big city. As one of thirteen children he didn't see much future for himself in the family business!
He opened a store opposite Cardiff Castle selling pots, pans, guns and bicycles for the first couple of years. He then started selling motorcycles and obtained agencies for most of the larger British makers, first selling new Triumph motorcycles in 1913. His son Staff took over the business and in the early 1960s he took on the agency for Honda motorcycles, soon to be followed by Suzuki and Piaggio.
Robert's grandson Geoff took over about 30 years ago and still runs the business with his wife Veronica and the rest of the team (Charlie, Rob, Jeanette, Chris, Greg, Chris and Eddie). In 1998, after 101 years in Castle Street, the business moved to new purpose built premises in Hadfield Road. We have a great selection of new and used motorcycles and scooters, a rider training school on site and a huge clothing and accessory department. In 2011 we became a solus Triumph dealer (the only one in Wales!).
We're close to junction 33 of the M4 motorway and have loads of free parking for cars and bikes.
Maybe we'll stay here for the next 100 years!
