On the 1st January 2021 the UK left the EU customs union. Customers situated in a EU country will no longer be charged sales tax (VAT) on our website at checkout, however in most cases EU customers will be required to pay import fees/tax/duty before receiving delivery of their order. These charges would normally be paid via the courier/postal service using their website or by calling them on the telephone. Please understand we cannot refund shipping costs for any packages returned to us due to unpaid import fees. All of our shipping methods are trackable on-line, make sure you watch the tracking carefully for any updates. If you would like any clarification on fees/tax/duty for your specific country please send us an e-mail.About Us
David Blackwell turned his hobby of collecting Honda Monkey Bikes into a business after a seven minute article about Honda Monkey Bikes on the BBC Top Gear program in May 1997. The Business was named Monkey Bike UK. The business enjoyed a steady growth over the following years, selling both original Honda parts and after market independently branded custom parts suitable for the marque.
In October 2011 it was bought to our attention that in January 2006 Honda Europe registered the word "Monkey" as a trade mark relating to Motorcycles and Motorcycle parts.
In view of this it was decided to change our trading name, as from the 1st January 2013 our new trading name will be Shire Bikes. We offer a comprehensive range of genuine Honda, reproduction and custom parts from our all new on-line store. Our customers new and old will benefit from our huge stock of parts and our many years of experience serving the marque.
