Moto Central vs Orwell Motorcycles

Moto Central showroom featured image for the Orwell Motorcycles comparison

Orwell Motorcycles has served riders in Ipswich since 1983. It is a substantial multi-franchise dealership selling new and used motorcycles, with servicing, repairs, parts, accessories and an impressive clothing showroom covering helmets, leathers, textiles, boots and gloves.

We would not describe Orwell's clothing range as an afterthought. Our difference is that rider gear is the whole purpose of Moto Central. Both floors are devoted to helmets and clothing, with no motorcycle franchises or workshop activity competing for space and attention.

A Complete Dealership or a Gear-Only Destination?

Orwell is the natural choice when a new or used motorcycle, servicing, parts and rider clothing need to come together in one Ipswich visit. Its Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki and other franchise experience is a genuine strength.

Come to us when you want the gear decision to command the day. Our sports, touring, adventure, urban, retro and premium departments allow you to compare different styles and price levels, with our team focused on fit rather than the motorcycle sale.

Major Clothing Brands Across Two Floors

Both shops carry respected clothing names. At Moto Central, the range includes RST, Richa, REV'IT!, Alpinestars, Dainese, Rukka, Merlin, Furygan, Bering, Spidi and Held. You can compare several cuts and constructions instead of deciding from specifications alone.

Our footwear brands include Daytona, TCX, Sidi, Forma and Falco. Communications from Cardo and Sena, luggage from Kriega and accessories from Oxford and Quad Lock complete the practical choice.

More Than 1,000 Helmets

We display helmets from SHOEI, Arai, AGV, HJC, Shark, Schuberth, Bell, LS2 and Nolan. Our colleagues can help you compare head shapes, and SHOEI Personal Fitting System support is available for eligible SHOEI helmets.

Reserve & Try In Store lets you shortlist products online before seeing them here. We also provide free self-service tea and coffee, so a detailed fitting visit can stay relaxed.
