New bikes on the floor, mostly the 125cc automatics that do nearly all the work on this island, plus a few bigger machines for people who genuinely ride further.
From 38,000 rufiyaa to about 74,000 depending on the model and the engine. That figure includes the duty, the clearing, the transport, our registration work and the first service at a thousand kilometres. There is no second number at the counter.
On choosing between them, our honest advice is narrower than the brochures. For getting around Malé and Hulhumalé, a 125cc automatic is the right answer for four families out of five: it is light enough to push into a tight space, small enough to park where a bigger machine cannot, cheap on petrol, and simple enough that any workshop on any island can look after it. A 150cc is worth the extra if two adults ride together often, because a fully loaded small engine works hard on the bridge and wears faster. Anything larger is a want rather than a need here, and we will say so while happily selling you one.
The things worth paying attention to, in order: the seat height against the shorter rider in the family, because a machine that cannot be put down flat at a junction is never enjoyed. Whether the underseat space takes a helmet. Whether the wheels are cast or spoked, since spokes and salt are a slow argument you will lose. Disc brakes front and rear rather than front only. And whether we stock the parts, which we will answer honestly because the answer is on our own shelf.
Every new machine leaves with the registration work started, a chain spray, and four minutes of our time explaining the fresh water rinse. That last part is free and it is worth more than anything else we give you.
