Sell to UK motorcycle dealers
Bike dealers, independent workshops and parts and accessory sellers.
There are 3,648 of them on the Companies House register as of August 2026, filing SIC code 45400. This page is about reaching them, not about being one.
What people sell to motorcycle dealers
If you are one of these, this market is a list rather than a guess. Every company below is on the public record with its registered office, incorporation date, officers and filing history.
- Motor trade insurance and road risk cover
- Parts, tyre and accessory distributors
- Workshop equipment and diagnostic tools
- Consumer finance and warranty products
- Dealer management and booking software
- Clothing, helmet and rider gear wholesalers
What SIC 45400 actually tells you
The smallest of the motor trades on this list and a clean filter, with most companies putting the code first. Worth pairing with 45112 if your product suits both cars and bikes: the two populations overlap less than people assume.
In numbers: 2,558 companies put 45400 first and 1,090 carry it in one of their other three SIC slots, so 70 per cent of the population leads with it. Together they are 0.07 per cent of the 5,190,464 active companies on the UK register.
Motorcycle sale, maintenance and repair by post town
Measured on the August 2026 register, these are the registered-office post towns with the most motorcycle dealers. London holds 14 per cent of the national population on its own. A registered office is where the paperwork sits rather than where the work happens, so treat this as where to start looking, not as a service area.

Timing
Sales and servicing are strongly seasonal, and workshops buy equipment and stock ahead of spring. A dealer formed over the winter is preparing for its first riding season.
A worked filter for this market: SIC 45400, registered office in London, incorporated in the last ninety days. That turns 3,648 companies into a list you can write to in an afternoon. Add the poor-website filter if what you sell is a web presence, or a recent change of officer if you sell to whoever just took the job.
The rest of division 45
A trade rarely sits in exactly one code. Motorcycle sale, maintenance and repair is in division 45, wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles, and the codes below are its nearest neighbours on the public record: another 124,232 companies describing themselves in adjacent terms. If your product suits the wider trade rather than this one code, pull two or three of them together.

You only pay for leads that arrive complete.
You carry the bounce rate and the compliance risk for data somebody else assembled and will not explain
Leads that arrive verified with the filing behind each field, so the ICO question has a written answer
Every motorcycle dealer you pull arrives with its Companies House record, the director’s name, a verified website and a verified email. The ones we cannot complete are not charged for.
What if a company has no website?
Trades with a lot of very small companies tend to have patchy web presence, and a list that charges you per row will happily sell you the rows it could not finish. Here you are charged for a complete lead or not at all, which means the size of the market above is the ceiling, not the invoice.
Is emailing these companies legal?
This is public-record data about businesses, and reaching a company at a published business address is normal B2B contact. The lawful basis is legitimate interest, every message carries an opt-out, and anyone who asks to be removed is suppressed across the whole system rather than on one list. If a company asks us directly, we take its record out within twenty-four hours. None of that is optional or an upgrade.

Common questions
How many motorcycle dealers are there in the UK?
3,648 active UK companies file SIC code 45400, motorcycle sale, maintenance and repair, on the August 2026 Companies House snapshot. 2,558 of them list it as their first SIC code and 1,090 carry it in one of their other three slots, so 70 per cent lead with it. Together they are 0.07 per cent of the 5,190,464 active companies on the UK register.
How do I build a list of UK motorcycle dealers?
Filter the Companies House register by SIC code 45400. Narrow it by registered-office postcode (London holds the largest share at 14 per cent) and by incorporation date if you want companies still choosing suppliers. Match on any SIC position rather than the first when you need reach, and on the first position when you need precision. Every lead Leadistry delivers carries the company record, the director's name, a verified website and a verified email.
Is it legal to cold email motorcycle dealers in the UK?
Contacting a company at a published business address is normal B2B outreach under UK GDPR and PECR, on the lawful basis of legitimate interest. Every message must identify you and carry a working opt-out. Anyone who asks to be removed is suppressed across the whole system, and a company that asks us directly has its record taken out within 24 hours.
