WHEN is a motorcycle dealership more than just a motorcycle dealership?
When it’s being styled as an “art gallery” with a bar where people can have a drink and peruse the “motorcycle art” of high-end Italian manufacturer MV Agusta.
Plymouth’s Macpherson Motorcycles has just opened its new MV Agusta showroom after acquiring space in the 19th-century, Grade II listed AE Monsen Ship Stores building, on the Barbican.
The showroom is open on Tuesdays to Saturdays from 9am to 5pm, and later on Thursdays.
Business boss Chris Macpherson said the showroom is the realisation of a dream.
He said the vision is for people to come in, have a drink and view the motorbikes as works of art.
He said: “This is an art gallery. That’s how we perceive it.
“MV’s slogan is ‘motorcycle art’ and that’s the idea.
“It’s amazing to bring a brand like this to Plymouth.”
