A CITY shopping centre joined forces with a motorbike supplier to get shoppers revved up.
Motex Harley-Davidson - the Worcester-based Harley-Davidson and Buell dealership - launched the new Buell Firebolt XB9R at the Lychgate Shopping Centre.
The company was inundated with people trying to catch a glimpse of the innovative new machine and, for those who could get to the front, requests to try out the riding position.
"It would have been the first chance for many motorcycle fans from the area to get a look at the Firebolt," said Andy Harley, managing director of the dealer.
He added the bike had caused "quite a stir" when it was launched to Europe's media in Valencia, in March.
"The whole day was a huge success for us," he continued.
"The bike got a brilliant reception from the public and we've taken bookings for many extended test rides, so don't be surprised if you begin to see Firebolts on local roads in the coming months."
