The site looks ok to me, just make sure you view the bike before you buy it. Which bike were you looking at, the couple I viewed seemed normally priced.

this one Smile

compared to the -imho - insanely priced K1/2's on ebay this seems a good price. i know parkers is always under but compared to above k1's etc....

i'll call em tommorow. its a trek from london but yep would never buy without seeing first

thanks..

hi all

As i posted for information on this dealer, now that i have some i thought I'd post what happened.

on the morning i was going up, i got a call as i was boarding the train.

i was told the bike had problems with the hpi report which sounded odd to me as why would a dealer pay for a bike it didnt know. anyway i got off the train and they said they'd call me.

i told em i wanted my deposit and my train fare back and in fairness i have now got it.

but i lost a days money and the tube fair of course.

i was suspicious especially when i asked Gary who i was dealing with about this and he said "oh no its not hpi is another database" and then when the lady rang me to sort out the refund she said "good job we caught you, its just a mistake on the price."

the bike disappeared from the website, but today reappeared

https://www.sellbike.co.uk/vehicle/default.aspx?1680-Suzuki-Gsxr-2005

listed £1k more than it was last week.

I accept we all make mistakes, i dont accept being lied to as appears to be the case. of course there could have been an issue they wanted to resolve, but as i asked them to let me know if the bike was going to be available and they havent, well lets say im suspicious in the extreme.

so, in short when i first asked about this dealer i had no info, but now i can say that my experience with them wasnt exactly positive.

hope this is of use for anyone who searches on this, im still looking for a good gsxr but might have found one so fingers crossed..
