Anyone HPI'd a bike recently?

Where / whats the best way of going about it Laughing

Is there a difference between the 4 quid 'text' ones and ones I've seen for £20?

Thanks alot ! Thumbs Up

I used a website one on a VFR400 I wanted. I paid for the middle package which would give you more information if it was available - it was not Laughing Can't remember how much it cost, or where I found it, but it did it's job I guess - though I never did get the bike.

EDIT : www.mycarcheck.com

£4.99/£9.99/£14.99

They send you the document too, and you can save the link to the digital file and access it for two weeks.

Cheers mate, just did the 9.95 one too.

A 2005 xr 125, has had 6 previous owners, 1,000 miles in may 2008. Now it's got 12,000.

Everything else seems all good, though slightly worried why so many owners. The mirrors aren't standard either, maybe I'm just worrying but I'm going to look at the bike tommorow so Thumbs Up

125 is a learner bike so will change hands a lot.... I would not consider 1 new owner a year as a lot on a 125. If it was a dog it would have far more.
In the last 3 years its done 70 miles a week on average. Hardly what you would call a taxing milage.
New mirrors, many people change the std ones as after market ones can often give a better view.

Cheers iooi, I went to see the bike today it does look very clean.

Started up fine ect, one thing I did notice was it said 'L2' in white on the frame in the top corner. This makes me think negatively like it could have been some kind of hire bike / in a field jobby but it could just be nothing.

One more to look at then I have to make up my mind! Thumbs Up
