About Us Bikes Service Insurance GPR pipes News/Reviews Contact

 

EmotoTM is an Authorised Dealer for Aprilia, Cagiva, Hyosung, Moto Guzzi and MV Agusta Motorcycles. Gilera, Piaggio, SYM and Vespa scooters. Our Service Department specialises in these, Ducati and other European bikes. The name was formed from the use of "e" as in e-business and "Moto" as in the ubiquitous new word for motorcycling i.e. MotoGP.

There is no question we are European bike enthusiasts however we like all bikes. In the past we imported Japanese 250's to "introduce" new people to the motorcycling world. Our decision to go with Hyosung in 2009 was because these bikes are high quality, good value and have amazing resale value. This means someone can buy a new 250, ride it for 12-months and not loose their shirt when they trade it on something like an Aprilia Dorsoduro or MV Agusta Brutale!

The other thing that happened in 2009 was that we became a Trademe Store. These are our current listings.  Emoto supports and through our Trademe sales. In 2010 we became a Vespa dealer adding this iconic brand to our offerings.

If you scroll down to the bottom, you can see information on staff but more importantly, here are some words from our customers...

The Emoto philosophy is to treat our clients the way we would like to be treated. We judge ourselves on what we BUY, not what we SELL and that has some very positive consequences for the most important and valued element of our business - YOU. Because a large portion of people buy our bikes without seeing them first, nothing gives us greater pleasure than a note saying the bike has arrived - some are published here:

  • Paul from Wellington (new Griso SE) Ride from hell to get home on Friday (Paul rode through a storm - we though he was brave!).  Bike going well. Thanks for the good trade.

  • Joe from Cambridge (Z1000) Fantastic deal, thanks heaps, bike goes awesome.

  • Chester from Wellington (Piaggio NRG) Hi Deano, Thank you very much for selling the Piaggio Scooter to us, and thank you for the pricing and arranging the freight, the bike arrived in one piece and unmarked. We're really stoked with it.

  • Darren from Auckland (Monster 900) Hi Dean, Received the bike in great condition, REALLY pleased with the purchase, its a pleasure to ride. Thanks very much for all the effort.

  • Tony from Christchurch (new V7 Moto Guzzi) It's so easy to ride, its great.

  • Arajan from Auckland (new RSV4 Factory) I just love it mate!

  • Graeme from Russia and New Plymouth (new RSV4 Factory) All I can say about my RSV4 is that it is fantastic, every time I around some twisty roads it just brings a smile to my face. I was expecting an excellent bike but it has exceeded my expectations. Thanks to you and your staff for all of the help and service.
    I enjoyed the day ride through the passes and look forward to doing it again during the summer months, I just hope the roads are cleaner. Also if anyone is thinking of buying an RSV4 but is worried about it being too small, there is plenty of room. For anyone reading this, this is my second bike I have brought from Peter and it won’t be my last. Footnote: Graeme wanted Emoto to do the 1,000km service so he did a two passes ride to get the km's up. We had to accompany him of course! 

  • John from Palmerston North (RSV Factory) You guys have made bike purchase extra-ordinarily easy, the whole process has been 100% hassle free and totally enjoyable!!!! keep it good for others. You will get my highest recommendation for any person thinking of dealing with eMoto. Used a wee bit of tyre - nice scooter. The BiketranZ guys did a fantastic job, they rang me and arrived spot on time, even in a Fiat van, Aprilia was very comfortable in the back! I completely blew my son-in-law away, his bottom jaw nearly penetrated the concrete path! He is one of those who is exiled to riding a 250cc bike and a S----i thing, at that! (can't even bring myself to write that word). Yip RSV passed the test with all the severe critics and even created a few positive comments. Thank you for the beginning of what will probably be a fantastic experience!

  • Tracey from Christchurch (new RSV4 Factory) ... What a machine ... oh my god ... it's just insane!

  • John from Wellington (Subaru WRX STi) Exactly as described, thanks!

  • Arajan from Auckland (new Shiver) Great bike, just the thing to buzz around town on instead of my RSV4 Factory. Sounds hot with the GPR pipes!

  • Glen from Alexandra (new Dorsoduro) Good morning, just to let you know got home last night at about 1am (after riding from Christchurch). 750 went well although didn't really try it out as i was &*(%$^ cold like I've never been before. Huge frost, anyway so far I'm really happy with the smooth power in touring (mode) and the handling is awesome. I'll see you at 1000ks - still grinning! 

  • Graeme from New Plymouth (new RSV-R Factory with GPR pipes!) ...started her up and she does sound awesome. Just had a short run around town the weather isn't so good but will go for a quick ride this afternoon. I am sure we will be having a lot of fun together over the next few weeks!

  • Brian from Christchurch (MV Agusta 1078 312RR) Peter at Emoto made the buying process upfront and enjoyable. His cheerfulness and enthusiasm for what he does is rare and refreshing, particularly when extracting the big dollar! It is also comforting to know Rennie is there wielding the mechanical wand, it's confidence inspiring.  The 1078 is wonderful - it goes like a bullet!

  • Si from Ashburton (Ducati 900SSi.e.) Just to say thank you very much for your great service on Saturday. I love the bike. I'll come back and get a matching matt black helmet for my wife.  Thanks again from a very satisfied customer.

  • Peter from Auckland (Hayabusa) New busa is running well and still happy as with it JJ So far have no tickets (cross fingers).

  • Ray from Auckland (Paul Smart Ducati) I have no hesitation in using your firm again and recommending you to fellow riders. Look forward to visiting your shop next time I am down.

  • Graeme from Invercargill (BMW 745i) Great trip home thanks, if you get a speed camera ticket in the mail you will see the smiles on our faces!
  • John from Christchurch (350Z) Very happy with the car and very happy from the service from Emoto! thank you very much! :-) AAA+++
  • Lorretta from Blenheim (Aprilia Shiver)  I haven’t had the words to talk about my Shiver experience, still don’t think I have!! Except Al reckons he needed to feed me lemons to take the grin off my face.

  • Pete from Nelson (Ducati 916SP3) When you said it was mint, I still expected it to have a big kark down one side. I couldn't believe it when I viewed it in person - it was just like you said - like new. I have been trying to find a nice 916 for years, it's great to have one!

  • Tony from Foxton (Ducati 749S) Firstly, thanks for the bike, got it today and had a really pleasant ride back home. The bike is really nice, and is a promised by you, clean and well, awesome!! Those GPR mufflers look and sound fantastic, and I only revved it to 7500 a couple of times. I am completely satisfied on all counts and again thanks for doing the deal, and the tee shirt's nice as well, mind you I will have to get up early to wear it!

  • Ross from Auckland (Ducati 748).  We love repeat business and this Ducati enthusiast has given us the privilege of serving him again with a mint 748 to join his Ross with his ST3beautiful ST3. We note they are both RED Ross, we'll put in a special order for an all-red Aprilia RSV4 now! Anyway, when the 748 arrived he wrote this... Hi Alice, 748 arrived safely. It is absolutely splendid, just like new. Took it out yesterday (in between showers, hail etc !!!) It handles like magic, what a great wee bike. Thank you all at Emoto.

  • Guy from Auckland (Ducati 900SS). The bike arrived yesterday. Stunning, Wow!, really impressed.
  • Mark from Golden Bay (Aprilia RSV) Thanks for making this dream come true. Just magic!
  • Paul from "near" Palmerston North (Ducati MH900E) I just love it, I am going to keep it for life!
  • Nathan from Auckland (Aprilia RS250) The team at Emoto really went the extra mile to make sure I was 100% happy with my purchase and put all my doubts at ease. They went way behind the call of duty, kept me updated regularly on progress, and I thank them greatly for that. The bike arrived looking absolutely stunning, I knew I was buying an extremely tidy bike, but seeing it up close, I was blown away, it was almost showroom condition. I fully recommend Emoto to anyone looking to buy a bike, and I will definitely be buying my next bike from them!
  • John from Lyttleton (BMW R1100RT) Took the bike up to Kaikoura for lunch today - very happy with it !!!
  • Scott from Auckland (TLR) I received my bike yesterday all in one piece, thanks . It looks great and is everything that I had thought it would be, I have already put on the new exhaust system and it looks great and sounds even better . I would just like to thank you and the team at Emoto for making this a VERY easy process , I will be telling everyone that I come across about my dealings with Emoto and should they ever be looking for a new bike that they should be contacting you.

  • Robin from Taupo (BMW R1100R) Trip (from Christchurch to Taupo) went great, no dramas and bike was awesome. I will recommend you to other likeminded bike people. Cheers and good luck in the future.
  • Alan from Auckland (Triumph Tiger) I see what you mean about the condition - it's like new! Thanks for that - gotta go now, I think it needs a ride!
  • Greg from Wellington (ST1100) Just awesome, is how I describe the bike. It's great to be able to trust a dealer as the last bike we purchased through Trademe, we were ripped off! Emoto's service is second to none, and it takes the hassle out of buying online. Emoto will be getting more sales in the future, as I can't thank you guys enough!
  • Lee from Palmerston North (Ducati M900) the bike has arrived and WOW All I can say is thank you very very much.. It is everything you described and I couldn't be happier..
  • Paul from Nelson (Triumph Thruxton) I am really pleased with the Thruxton both with the condition and with the bike style itself.

  • Craig from Auckland (Ducati S2R) The bike finally turned up last night about 8pm. Unreal, it looked awesome. Took it for a quick ride round the block and it was fantastic. Rode it to work this morning and it went like a dream and looked and sounded even better in day light. I just wish I had made the decision to get it earlier instead of waiting. Anyway thanks for supplying me an awesome bike.
  • Paul from Wellington (Ducati ST4) My bike arrived today and I have to say that it is in even better condition than described! It runs beautifully and I'm looking forward to a good long ride this weekend. I would like to say thanks for your opinions (about which style of bike might suit me) which helped me make my final decision. I've never really bought anything on line before, let alone a bike, but I would have to recommend Emoto to anyone who asked, it was just so easy!
  • Graham from B.O.P. (Monster 1000) The Monster arrived this afternoon and I must say that it is absolutely mint. I haven’t had a ride on it yet, (other than to park it in the garage) but I am very happy with it....<two days later>
    Just got back from my first decent ride on the Monster and am very pleased. Its comfortable, fun and very cool (Graham's bike has High Rise carbon pipes). Thanks for such a great deal. You can count on me for plenty of positive feedback to prospective buyers.
  • Andy from Christchurch (Ducati 996) Once l got over the embarrassment of stalling it 50 times!, went playing after the traffic died down - l told Alice that l don't ride fast and got this slightly blank look (l could see it going around in her head-why did you buy this bike ?...) I LIED!!!!!-f##k me, this bike is on a whole other level, l swear you could hear me laughing on the other side of the city! pure pleasure......damn! l don't want to go to work tomorrow, all l can say is thanks to you guys for a great deal, and thanks to Alice for coming in outside work hours to hand it over.
  • Isaac from Hamilton (Aprilia RS250) Bike arrived and its a fantastic looking machine, great performance, handling and balance excellent. Great doing business with you. Thank Alice for letting her bike go (this bike had been picked for Alice to do a track day on - we are good to our staff huh?), its gone to a good home!
  • Wayne from Cambridge (Speed Triple) Bike arrived tonight about 7:00 pm.  Rapt with it - its everything you said it was, haven't had a chance to ride it yet but looking forward to that tomorrow.  Thanks heaps its been a pleasure doing business with you. <then a day or so later> Have done 400 k's on the bike - runs like a dream.  Thanks for everything.

  • Helen from Tauranga (Monster 900S - with G.P.R High Rise carbon pipes) I just wanted to say that......

        I LOVE MY DUCATI!!!

        I FINALLY got to ride it last night after weeks and weeks it seems of rain....and after not being convinced a Monster was right for me....I love it.

        I love the sound.

        I love the way it handles.

        I love the way it feels.

        I love the sound...did I mention that?

        I love the smooth power.

        I love the grunt.

        I love the sound.
     

  • Stephen from Kapiti Coast (Aprilia Tuono) The lowest form of integrity is doing what you say you will do - the highest form of integrity is being who you say you are. Very happy with my new Italian baby thanks to your integrity.

  • Frank from Invercargill (Buell M2) Peter is a pleasure to deal with! The best dealings I've ever had purchasing a motorcycle, hope to buy from Emoto again sometime.

  • Dean from Auckland (Buell XB12S) Dean wins this Months "tough guy" award, he flew down and rode back to Auckland via Timaru! When he first saw the bike "That bike IS cool!"

  • Ross from Auckland (Ducati ST3) "It's better than I was expecting!". Ross (actually Marilynne) wins the host of the year award after feeding and watering Peter (OK it was beer) after he rode the bike to them!

  • Ben from Auckland (Hornet) Ben chose to ride from Christchurch to Auckland - this was posted from Wellington "My poor bike is locked up in the rain at the moment, but I'm sure it will survive one night. Have a look at some of the pictures of my travels so far!"

  • Luther from Christchurch (Ducati 748) The 748 is going great and I'm really happy with it.     

  • John from Auckland (Buell) Well Pete I received the bike this morning and man it is very nice. It is better than what I thought it would be, this bike is very very tidy.

  • Steve from Taupo (Triumph Sprint ST) WOW WOW WOW! Thanks so much, it's everything you said it would be!

  • Richard from Milton (Laverda 750S) Great bike thanks Peter. 

  • Willy from Invercargill (996S) It is everything you said it would be, I covered over a thousand kilometers on the way home without the bike missing a beat. I can certainly recommend you and your company and look forward to doing business again with you in the future.

  • Geoff from Christchurch (K1200RS) From the photo and description on the web page to the first time I rang Emoto about the bike to the financial details and pick up of the bike and the trade of my old bike all went beyond my expectations. After having the bike now for two weeks and doing 500 kms so far all is well, the only problem is keeping below the bloody speed limit. Everybody that sees the bike loves it and its hard to keep people of the seat. Peter thanks and I would deal with you again no questions asked.

  • Ted from Avonhead (XJR1300) thank you Emoto, excellent to do business with and very helpful with advice to a novice like me.100% recommended.

  • Brett and Sharyn from Blenheim (Aprilia RSV Mille) Thanks for all your help getting the RSV on Monday. Had a great ride back, weather aside, and found the bike excellent to ride. Amazing power and delivery, beautifully crisp handling and top ergos. This bike rocks! We are really over the moon to finally have our dream bike.

  • Dave from Devonport (CB1000) I just got the insurance policy through the mail, that’s great, thank you for saving me money. The bike is awesome and just what I wanted, thanks again and I won’t hesitate to recommend you to others.

  • Martyn from Christchurch (New MZ SuperTraveller) Dealing with Peter and his team is like dealing with old family friends. Helpful, understanding of my wants and totally trustworthy.  I collected my new MZ1000ST and after a few Km's around town I headed off to Kaikoura for a good run together with my wife and enough luggage for the weekend (a surprising amount for one of us!). The bike performed brilliantly, the engine provided truckloads of torque the handling was as good as any full on sportsbike, the suspension is fully adjustable all round so it was an easy adjustment to allow for extra weight.  If I won Lotto I would buy another one!"

  • Gerrie from Hamilton (VTR250) Just wanted to tell you, took a 600km ride on Saturday, the little monster didn't miss a beat once. I am really enjoying it!!!

  • Brett from Devonport (Ducati 916) Bike is going well, really pleased I went with a factory original Monopost. Cheers!

  • Brandon from Hamilton (M900) What can I say but brilliant, an absolute pleasure to deal with. A1+++++

  • Simon from Wellington (Honda RVF400). We normally say "take the bike for a good ride when you get it, let us know if there are any problems so we can sort it".  Simon flew down to pick the bike up, he definitely tested it!!!!Here is his report.. Did about 6500km on the RVF in the south island, before I came back to Welly on Wednesday, so I had two weeks of riding in the South. I loved every minute of it. Bike didn't miss a beat, start it up, off I went, every single day. Say hi and thanks to Alice (the person based at the Emoto Warehouse) for being friendly.

  • Andy from Wellington (CBR250RR) Sorry for the delay. I have been riding a bit ; ) Covered about 600k over the weekend..have sore lower back and burst some capillaries in my clutch arm hehehe. What a dream to ride..I think I may have taken it up to peak power 17500rpm maybe 3 times or so..but hell quick all over the place..just runs out of gears on the straights hehehe.. Thank you so very much for bringing sanity back to my life.
  • Hoogie from Oamaru (Triumph Tiger) Ride home was awesome ... bike ran pretty good at 105-110kmh, still had some grunt to get out and pass things and punch into the strong headwinds i had most of the way home! Other than sore face muscles from the big grin, the body felt really good after the trip down ... ride position is so comfortable, just like a trailbike, but with much more grunt. Thanks again!
  • Warren from Auckland (Suzuki TLS) Just a quick message to let you know I arrived back in Auckland without too much trouble. I did have a small freak incident with a road work sign flying off its post, hitting me and the TL (putting a small crack in the fairing). I also picked up a puncture somewhere before Blenheim. Other then that, the ride was good and I’m really happy with the bike.

    my wrists are fine and they were generally sore on the zx7r.. so that's good... speedo is hopeless at night.. but that's 'character'.. Thanks for all the help and effort you've gone too.. bike is super and looking forward to having a crack on an MZ too!
  • Jayson from Auckland (Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans) Everything ran smoothly, would highly recommend to all AAA+++ Thanks heaps Peter.

  • Lynne from Levin (Ducati Monster 916 S4): Received my Ducati last night, took it for a ride this morning, have fallen in love, it is just the most awesome piece of machinery, and I wanted to thank you  very much, you have made me a happy woman.
  • Steve (Ducati M900S): Enjoyed the ride back to Akaroa, and have ridden it a bit since then. Love it! Not at all civilised, but heaps of charisma. Sure needs a different style to my old beemer.
  • Russ (Ducati ST4S): Made it back safe and sound to Auckland, with 2 overnight stops. A good ride apart from the trip up through the centre of the North Island the wind was blowing 30 - 40 mph on the desert road and raining buckets. Thanks for the deal and your help, I would not hesitate to recommend you.
  • Marcel (Ducati 900SS): besides a bit of rain, a good trip, on a awesome machine. Cheers guys.
  • Guy aka The Saint: It's all been said before. Peter provides a fantastic service and my bike (Aprilia Tuono) is just amazing. The Emoto team have nailed the whole customer satisfaction thing to a tee. I will be recommending them to anyone wanting to buy.
  • Graham and Rach (Aprilia RSV) The bike has arrived safe & sound....AWESOME BIKE....very happy with it.
  • Myles (Ducati ST2) If you are going to buy a bike, buy it from the Emoto team. They go out of their way to be helpful and provide a service that is second to none. They are awesome to deal with and they have a fantastic reputation. Everyone who I have spoken to including insurance agents, and transport companies in motorbike circles have spoken very highly of these guys.
  • Mike (Ducati 900SS) On rare occassions do you get to deal with people such as Peter and his back up team (Craig & Becks). If we are scoring on a scale of 1 to 10, Peter is around the 12 mark. I spent $14,000 on a product I had not seen. He had understated the quality by about half. Attention to detail was nothing short of incredible, even down to a full tank of gas.
  • Chuck (ST4S) I have recently bought a Ducati from emoto which I am delighted with. During this process I was totally looked after by Peter and as the bike came in from Japan, I was kept fully informed each step of the way. Good communication is vital when dealing online and this was tops! I would buy again with confidence and am happy to vouch for the integrity of Peter as a person to do business with.
  • Grant (SV1000) Top guy to deal with. Honest and reliable. Everything was as described. Called to check I was happy with bike. Rapt. A+
  • Paul (S4 Monster) ... Purchased my S4 from Emoto. I found the process fast and efficient. The bike was everything Peter indicated and there were real savings due to a Emoto's lower cost structure. Following my experience with Peter I would have no hesitation in recommending Emoto to a prospective buyer.
  • Sshards (ZRX1100) Great guy to deal with, honest and reliable. Highly recommended.
  • David (Audi A4 Quattro): Quick, efficient and friendly. Many thanks.
  • Christian (Land Rover Discovery TDi) Very honest, patient and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend Emoto.
  • Mark from Dunedin (Subaru WRX): Very helpful and great to deal with, a really up front guy.
  • Lewises (ZX12R) Very happy indeed! Bike in great condition. No hassle transaction. Superb communication and commitment to ensuring a good outcome. Thanks Peter. AAA+++.
  • Biggles18 (BMW R1200C): Excellent service, reliable and accurate. A very fair deal for all.
  • Lynge (Honda X4): Rapid response, very honest and easy to do busy with. Highly recommend!
  • Stabicraft (ZX12R ) great trade, highly recommended, cheers
  • Wuzza (2003 Z1000): Had a good ride home, no cops and the bike's going well real easy to chuck around in the twisties a bit hard to hold high speed for to long but that might not be too bad. Really happy with the bike. More importantly I'm really happy with you guys and will see if I can put more people onto Emoto. Thanks a lot Pete it's been a pleasure.
  • mph445 (XJR1200): Extremely happy about the purchase from Emoto. First class service. I was kept well informed and they made sure I received my motorbike at the earliest possible time. I recommend them to anyone.
  • Zgk (900SS Ducati): Cannot recommend Pete and the guys from highly enough. Ducati is in mint condition and runs like a dream. Will no doubt buy my next bike from these guys. You should too!
  • Clapy: Thanks for great purchase (Ducati 900SS). These guys back up their product and go the extra mile. Keep it up.
  • Clapy: Great sale and excellent support (Yamaha Vmax). Would recommend these guys to anyone after a good bike.
  • Simon: I was more than happy with the whole process, beginning with my initial contact to get more details on the trade me/bike purchase process right through to the arrival of my bike in ChCh. I appreciated the contact throughout the process, the help in a number of matters, and the friendly conversation (even if it was only through e-mail). Despite the fact that it took me a while to decide on what model I would go for, I was always treated seriously as a genuine customer. The guys who delivered the bike were also friendly and great to deal with. It’s also good to deal with someone else who has a genuine passion for motorcycles and not merely a businessperson. My Vmax turned out to be even better in the flesh than the photos suggested, it is truly a great looking example of this model and gets comments where ever its parked. More than happy to give positive feedback regarding Emoto at any time.
  • avgas1: This guy is a really good help - easy to do business with, quick and responsive. You must do business with this guy.
  • Xyon: Couldn't help myself, had to buy another bike (Ducati 916)! Thanks.
  • Xyon: Great bike (Ducati Monster) at a good price. There were a couple of issues but got sorted out, so I am stoked with the bike.

Emoto Staff  

Visitors to EmotoTM in Christchurch are most likely going to deal with Deano in the first instance. Deano is our Parts and Accessories Manager and runs the retail shop. He has a solid bike industry background, having previously worked for another local new bike franchise. Helping Deano is Julia. Julia rides an SYM Scooter and brings us a some welcome support in looking after the needs of our customers, especially those looking to buy a new Vespa.

A very important team member is Rennie, our Specialist European Bike Technician who runs the Emoto Workshop. Rennie is supported by Jonathon who is our scooter and Hyosung specialist. Peter is responsible for our Trademe store. Our office manager is Penny.

When the exchange rate is favourable, we import high quality Ducati's and other European bikes out of Japan, we only choose the versions that are the same spec as NZ new bikes. We often buy at the Japanese bike auctions but only after either inspecting the bikes in person, or having a trusted agent verify the grade. We also buy stock directly from Bike shops and have a close relationship with a Tokyo Ducati dealer.

When we are buying out of Japan, Peter travels there to buy the bikes and other Emoto staff go there on occasion. Alice was there recently  because we were invited to the opening of a new auction facility. Alice managed to avoid getting carried away with auction fever and didn't just buy things because she though were cute!

     

 

We recently supplied a Brutale to support Girlspeed at the Autosalon show in Christchurch.
