What is your current personal motorcycle? 2020 Husqvarna FC250 Do all the staff ride? Yes, well all ride bikes. We’re all keen on dirt bikes. What’s the back story on the shop? Watson Racing started as a small workshop at the back of Total MotoX. The owner wanted to sell up after a few years, so i jumped at the opportunity to take over the whole building. After trading for a few years as Watson Racing we rebranded to Watson Motorcycles to appeal to a wider audience, and have been going from strength to strength ever since. With recently becoming a Husqvarna agent we hope to further enhance our presence within the motorcycling community in New Zealand. We provide a full workshop service ranging from high performance race engine rebuilds to farm machinery servicing and pretty much everything in between. We cover road and dirt bikes, as well as quads, suspension re-valving and tuning, rider setup, and sell both genuine and aftermarket parts and accessories. Hourly rate? $95+GST Brands stocked?
