Wheels Motorcycles Dealer

Has anyone bought from this place as I have seen a Triple I am interested in? they apparently offer a lifetime guarantee, not sure exactly what they mean by that as

https://www.wheelsmotorcycles.co.uk/pages/used/used-bikes/2015-15-TRIUMPH-Street%20Triple%20R%20ABS-675cc/19988.htm

This is the blurb from the web site (it does not seem to cover Triumph anyway)..….

Yes you have read it correctly - Wheels Motorcycles offer a lifetime guarantee on all new and used motorcycles over 250cc purchased from ourselves with less than 30,000 miles or younger than 10 years at the time of purchase for all Kawasaki, Suzuki, Aprilia and Yamaha models for as long as you keep it.

Wheels Motorcycles decided to take this step two years ago after previously charging for the guarantee and finding its benefits so attractive to the customer and for Wheels Motorcycles with its added customer retention.

There are no gimmicks or overpriced service charges. We simply ask that you maintain the vehicle at its normal service intervals (first service 600 miles then generally 4,000 to 6,000 miles or annually) with ourselves.

Included in this guarantee we also give away free MOT’s when required hopefully enabling you to have many years of stress free motorcycling.

There are no complicated or extra terms and conditions to this guarantee we simply extend what would be our normal used bike warranty conditions for the lifetime that you own the vehicle.

Also, if you are one of our low annual mileage customers, no need to worry about huge service costs we will simply complete a cheaper interim service and safety check annually to maintain your warranty.

This guarantee takes the risk and worries away from the purchaser and leaves it with us, your local dealer. So with all this and hundreds of bikes to choose from as well as great finance and part exchange prices call in to see us today.

That's like the 2014 low miler I was going to drop 7k on three years ago. Just before I bought my MT09
brand new for about the same money. As nice a bike as it looks it's a little overpriced if you ask me.

It seems to be a little high but there are not many around that fit the bill, within 50miles of me. I love that colour as well.

A new one is £9.3k

To be honest I am not too bothered about the "lifetime" guarantee as they are usually a load of bull. Plus they don't list Triumph as one that qualifies.

I was more interested in if anyone has bought from them previously and any after sales experience.

To get the warranty you'd have to service by them religiously.
If you can do a passable job yourself or find someone cheaper who can it's unlikely to be worth worrying about.
It suggests that as far as they know the bike is sound as it can be for the age/mileage at point of sale.

I bought my bike from them brand new. No idea what the get-outs on the lifetime warranty will be, but seeing as the bike is a Guzzi and the manufacturers warranty is only 2 years, it looks worthwhile to me. I'll take it up there once a year for a service.

I wouldn't buy a bike just for the warranty. I bought the Guzzi there because it was very cheap - about 15% less than everyone else.

I bought it....picking up Saturday.

The place seems very nice, I think they are a Suzuki and Honda dealer

The sales man was very nice, not pushy at all. I was not able to have a test ride so I have put a £200 refundable deposit down (subject to the test on Saturday morning) and they will get it ready to ride away for Saturday morning if I am happy after the test ride.

As I suspected triumph are exempt from the lifetime warranty, 3 months for triumph.

Nice one.

If it's the one near me in Peterborough (website's down, can't check) then it's been around for years and years. There's two shops in the compound, one does Honda, the other does 'the rest'. There's always a shed load of bikers mulling about for the cafe there too. It seems more like a community than just a shop.

Bought my RSV4 RF from them. Never set foot in the place though, had it delivered to my door for £200. All good, everything went nicely, the sales guy did a walk around video and explained everything I asked in it, we spot on.
