Had a really enjoyable and confident engagement with Russell, I completely recommend RJM for their honesty, knowledge and support whilst purchasing this new bike. Especially as I was buying it blind, but with Russell's easy to contact and reliable responses and advice made me feel comfortable enough to proceed.
Glad I did as the bike turned up exactly when it was supposed too, and was exactly as described.
A very happy customer

Russell is an amazingly knowledgable guy. Although I didn’t buy anything, he was more than willing to spend time and explain things to me, nothing was too much trouble, same goes for his assistant, whose escapes me… sorry.
I was so impressed by his customer service and his attitude.
If only all motorcycle sales and mechanics were like Russell!!

Russell has made a stressful experience for me very easy, his valuations were accurate and gave me options in a friendly manner.
Following this experience I shall surely visit his showroom. I only wish I had met him when I was still riding my motorcycles.
Excellent service, Russell you are certainly 5 star.
Thank you

Beware Russell James!!
This review may appear very long winded but if you are even considering dealing with this man please bear with me as it may save you a lot of money.
After several phone calls to Russell James and sincere assurances that the 1978 Red/Black T140E Bonneville ran as good as it looked in the advert and there was no way he would let us travel 200 miles to see it if it wasn't, my son and I decided to take a look.
On arrival the bike did indeed look good, after a brief test ride around the small industrial estate he is on and despite a couple of minor niggles we decided to buy

I'm with Andy Bolam on this dealer , don't touch with a bargepole. Sold me a 650 Tiger for £5600, started up, sounded OK, I should have got it up to temperature! Sounded like a diesel. I complained, he offered me £4000 for it after 3 weeks/ 80 miles. I swore, he went on the defensive as previously mentioned. A friend traded in a nice g12 matchless with him. I contracted him about a deal, but he blatantly lied, saying he was selling it for a customer!! Complete lie. Phone went very quiet when I picked hi. Up on it. At the end of the day, he didn't want my triumph back. I took it away, will strip

BUYERS BEWARE! READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY FROM THIS MAN!
After purchasing a red & black uk spec 1978 Triumph T140E from Russell James I had nothing but hassle, with reference from the earlier review regarding this machine and the subsequent reply from Russell James I would like to make the following points,
Why would we incur the expense of returning the motorcycle if the bike was running so well according to Russell. Unbeknown to him we took samples of contaminated fuel from the carburetors and fuel tank due to heavy rusting inside the tank. (Please see pics below) this obviously was one of the

I have just seen the vitriol written by a father and son about the service they received from this dealer. In my opinion, no-one should have to tolerate on-line abuse. It does not solve complaints or problems, but what it does do is expose the true character of the writers for all to see.
I have had many deals with Russell James over the last 5 years, as a buyer and a seller. I have always found him fair, honest, very easy to talk to and with no false claims or pressure to buy. He prepares his bikes to a very high standard, which I have not found with many dealers in older bikes, some of whom
