Are these companies related at all? They have similar advertising and are on the same Bradford business park. Quite fancy a bike on Charlies website but want to be sure that they're good folks to deal with.

Rite Bike:
https://companycheck.co.uk/company/07022186/RITE-BIKE-LTD

Their registered address isn't even the same unit as their trading address. It appears to be a shell of We Buy Any Bike:

https://companycheck.co.uk/company/06879579/WEBUYANYBIKE-LIMITED


Both have different details and don't share directors with Charlies Motorcycles:

https://companycheck.co.uk/company/07964839/CHARLIES-MOTORCYCLES-LIMITED

Which has 1 director (Charlie).


tl;dr version - don't appear to be the same.

Search on here and on Google for Rite bike, they're as dodgy as dodgy gets. They have a Ducati 999 I want, but I'm not buying it purely because it's them who are selling it.

Not the same, avoid Rite Bike, as said they are We Buy Any Bike and are not a company I'd want to buy from again. Charlie seemed a decent chap. I didn't buy from Chariles as both had the model bike I wanted and Rite Bike went lower on price.

While in the Rite Bike office, I over heard dodgy talk after doing the deal. The van driver had turned up at an address to collect a bike and there was no one home, but the bike was on the drive. They was discussing just loading it on to the van and then getting him to come collect if he'd changed his mind. The decided against it. They could have just been having a joke, are was never seriously considering it, I'd hope.

tl;dr Not the same
