When Phillip McCallen decided to hang up his leathers for good after 17 years as one of the most gifted and successful racers in these islands with a long string of victories to his name, it was a natural step to opening his own motorcycle dealership. That was back in 2001 and his first showroom was in Lurgan, Co Armagh, not far from his home town of Tandragee. Today, at his purpose built premises at Portman Business Park, Lissue Industrial Estate West, Lisburn, he has one of the most modern show rooms and workshop in the UK and has held the Kawasaki franchise since 2004.
Kawasaki first came to fame in Europe and America through the sheer outright performance of its sports machines and its racing bikes, originally known to followers of two wheel sport as ‘Green Meanies’. Today that sporting prowess is best seen in the latest Ninja ZX-10R superbike. At the other end of the range it makes an excellent tourer, the 1400GTR and in between there are smaller capacity sports bikes, 650 twins, naked machines and cruisers for the more laid back rider. In other words, something for everyone.
And when you buy a Kawasaki from Phillip McCallen Motorcycles, either new or pre-owned, you do so in the knowledge that the sales service is backed up by a fully equipped workshop, manned by Kawasaki trained staff who use the latest Kawasaki diagnostic equipment.
Please take your time to browse our Kawasaki website, we believe it to be one of the most comprehensive and detailed in the UK. In it you will find a full run down of all the various models, their prices and specifications. There are separate categories for Kawasaki’s exclusive clothing and accessories, far too many to start and list here.
In particular we would draw your attention to our Kawasaki Riders section. This is our own innovation and we invite you to make it your own too. We want you to post your pictures, your action camera shots, tell us and other Kawasaki owners in words about your trips on your bike, whether it’s a Sunday run at home or a journey taking you thousands of miles across Europe or further afield. Please send all the information by email to the website: (give details etc).
As well as selling Kawasakis, we also hire them and this gives you an opportunity as a visitor to Northern Ireland, or even if you live here and don’t have a suitable machine, to tour this beautiful island of ours. Of course we also have a range of Kawasaki demo bikes giving you an opportunity to sample before your buy.
Our after market parts includes some of the most famous names in motorcycling, from Brembo brakes, Akrapovic, Arrow and Remus exhausts systems to Ohlins, K-Tech and WP suspension units and Sigma slipper clutches. The number of items in the Motrax accessory catalogue is simply mind boggling. And to round off any motorcycle run or holiday you can record all your fun and action with Motrax action cameras.
Please enjoy everyone.
