The name Parkinson has meant 'The Motorcycle Shop' to people in the Colchester area for more than 50 years.

Ron Parkinson started the original business at Marks Tey selling and servicing motorcycles in 1954 and it has been at the forefront of motorcycle technology ever since. This modern business, now based at the Cowdray Centre in the heart of Colchester, is lead by Ron's son Jim Parkinson and a team of dedicated and enthusiastic people with the knowledge and expertise you would expect, from a leader in their field.

As the authorised dealer for Ducati and Suzuki our modern showroom offers you the opportunity to compare the model ranges from both these prestige manufacturers with professional advice on hand should you require it. With a large stock of quality used machines available to view as well a visit to us at The Cowdray Centre comes highly recommended. With the Parkinson pedigree you know that you will receive quality products and service supported by people that care.
