Purchasing a Bike - (Paint Protection + Delivery)

[Springbok_Rider]

Hi,

I've just paid a deposit on a 2010 Monster 1100. I'm getting it on finance and just finalizing the details now. It's through Superbike Factory.

As I am in Norway, I won't get a chance to fly over and pick up the bike yet so I'm having it delivered to my sister's. I know I can check on Ebay and about (I also checked a few threads here), but wanted to ask if anyone had any recent good experiences with an affordable company. Looking at Manchester to Kent. The place I'm buying it from want £250 for deliver.

On another note, they keep pushing for the ceramic paint protection for an additional £200. They add it to the finance so it's £4 extra a month or something. Recon this is worth it or is it just a con?

Thanks!

If you pay petrol and return train fare, I'll ride it down.

Cheers, I might take you up on that. I thought you were in France?

I'm just checking locally. I have a mate in Southport so it might make sense to leave it there until I get over.

I'm fluent after 4 pints.

Probably should have used that as advice when picking up my CBR in Leeds. Took me an hour to tune in to what they were saying.

If you paid the flight or train I could also do it. I'm in Kent and saves CaNsA from visiting kent.

Yeah, it must be unfortunate to live so close to London. Though I'm starting to think everyone just wants a go on the Monster!

Tis true. I wouldn't mind a blast.
But unlike paddy, I don't know how to wheelie.

Manchester to Kent? Make sure you've got breakdown cover cos if you manage to lose your keys then you'd be pretty fucked.

Thankfully your breakdown cover will take you all the way to Kent for free. It was incredibly lucky that you didn't set the alarm or put the steering lock on when you parked up at the services where you managed to lose your keys.

A salesman I know who works at a Ford dealership said that the paint protection is basically a £10 product that gets applied as easily as giving the car a quick wipe over with a cloth. And he said that the lads that apply it are very nonchalant about the whole process.

Basically, don't waste your money. Invest in buying your own products and applying them yourself for about 10% of the price.

Superbikefactory is based in Macclesfield which is about 30 minutes outside of Manchester so flying in you'd have to get the train or the bus.

I can get it from Macc to Liverpool, then Cansa can take it from Liverpool to Kent, Paddy will do Kent to Norway.

Sorted
