Since the 1940s, Zeemans has been a proud name in the South African motorcycle industry. Founded by Laurie Zeeman, a pioneer in both racing and motorcycle sales, the business was built on a foundation of grit, skill, and community. Laurie’s passion became a family legacy, passed down to his son, Keith Zeeman, who carried the Zeeman name into the golden age of biking in the 60s and beyond — earning respect as both a racer and a businessman.
Over 80 years later, Zeemans remains a symbol of consistency, quality, and motorcycle culture in Johannesburg South. We’ve helped generations of riders find their first motorcycles, their lifelong companions, and everything in between. This legacy isn't just measured in decades — it's measured in the thousands of loyal customers who’ve trusted us time and time again.
Bradley Zeeman, current owner and third-generation leader, is a decorated former racer and hands-on mechanic. Long before he officially took over in 2016, Bradley spent his youth learning every detail of the workshop — building a skillset that combines technical precision with real-world experience. This expertise is at the heart of everything we do, from bike sales to spares, kits, and customer service.
Whether you’re shopping for a brand-new model, hunting for OEM spares, or need help building a commercial bike for delivery, you’ll get honest advice and experienced guidance every step of the way. We take pride in offering the kind of support only true bikers can give — because we’ve been on both sides of the throttle.
At Zeemans, we don’t rest on our reputation — we keep moving forward. With new bikes arriving regularly, partnerships with trusted manufacturers like Suzuki and Honda, and a growing lineup of spares, apparel, and accessories, we’re expanding our offerings while staying true to our roots. Innovation and tradition go hand-in-hand here.
Our vision is to grow the Zeeman family by continuing to provide reliable, affordable, and high-quality service for every kind of rider — from commuters and racers to weekend warriors and collectors. As we head toward a new era, one thing remains unchanged: our commitment to keeping your wheels turning and your journey on track.
