![Post Post](templates/standard/images/icon_minipost.gif) Posted: 14:24 - 01 May 2023 Post subject: Buying a Category bike and HPI check |
![](images/spacer.gif) |

Hi
For the first time I'm considering buying a bike that is cat N. I've been told by the seller it is, otherwise I don't know if I'd ever known unless it's made obvious on the V5 or something.
I'm told it's due to some cut wires that have since been repaired, but I'd like to find out for sure myself. Is the only way to do this by paying for an online HPI check? And if so, any recommendations for a good site to use?
Apparently it won't affect insurance, I've done a comparison and Swinton comes up cheapest but they don't ask if the bike has been written off or anything - bit odd... ____________________ Previous: Aprilia Habana Retro 50cc (beauty), Yamaha SR125 (fell apart), Honda XR125 (nippy little commuter), Honda SLR650 (Geewhizz), Yamaha Diversion 900S (Smoooooth) written off courtesy of a stupid escaped horse.
(7 year gap), BMW F650 (Relaxing ride). Aprilia Caponord ETV1000 (Big and bold). Yamaha FZS600 (got me in trouble too quick!).
Current: Yamaha TDM 900 (Comfy, light but big, power when needed). |

There is a Facebook group called Dodgy Cars that highlights cars that have been clocked/repaired/written off yet don't show up on various HPI checks.
He uses some facy checker that you can find on his page. It's quite amazing which so called reputable dealers seem to be totally unaware of the history of some cars they are selling.
