Know of any online motorbike/scooter stores based in Dublin?

There are only a couple, but www.bikeworld.ie is about the only useful website. It's updated quite regularly too.

The shop is at the junction of Naas/Long Mile roads

Hi Ubah
Cotters in Kimmage sell scooters and insurance.

There is another bike shop near the Five Lamps that is also an agent for AON. They sell scooters. Biggish shop.

There is another biggish shop on Wexford St. I think it is or was the New Kawasaki Centre. Can't remember for sure; I avoid this are like the plague, traffic is $#i+e They sell scooters and possible insurance too.

Is Skooter still on Aston Quay?

Might be worth checking out the Golden Pages, see which shops are in your area and give them a call. Ask them about financing and insurance. If they do it, they should be keen to sell to you.

I've a vague recollection of ads in papers 3-4 years ago for scooters. They'd sell you finance for bike and insurance for something like 30 quid per week. Oh and you got a mobile phone too. Remember brother commenting it was a "start your own drug pushing business" package. Don't remember who did the package though

Like I said in another thread, getting out there trying a few scooters and talking to people in the shops. There are a few shops in city centre. If you get in early on Saturday (the shops get quite busy later) you could visit all the shops in a 3-4 hour period. Don't try to shop on a Monday, most bike shops close for the day.
