A spokesman for the company said: “As you can imagine we are absolutely gutted, as are our customers.

“We are in touch with every track and we will continue to work together until these bikes are found - and they will be found.

“The community of ‘real’ dirt bikers, the ones that work hard to save for their bikes, and earn an honest and decent living, well they pull together and when these bikes are circulated, they will be seen and questions will be asked.”

Anyone with information is being asked to contact police on 101, quoting the crime reference number 1390400048.
