motorbikes4all review

[militantchewy]

this company is trading with the attitude what the customer doesn't know wont hurt them, i have emails where they admit they supplied a bike with a squared off front tyre .. the bike also had loose head stem barrings, forks set at different heights and low brake pads that would need changing with a week of purchase

i would rather pay more than die because they want to save a few quid, the information they didn't provide on there 52 point check lead me to make a purchase that i wouldn't have done if i was informed of all the information

what do u get if u have loose / replaced headstem ,front out of shape tyre on a 3 year old bike = previous owner was a wheelie addict

what do you get doing to many wheelies = problems!!!

if you too have had an issue do as i have and report them to trading standards

dont trust me look on youtube

You relied on their 52 point check and didn't check anything yourself?

More fool you.

How would wheelies lead to a square front tyre? They are more a symptom of driving up and down the motorway

Wheelies save front tyre use, you won't kill head bearings if you do them properly...

You didn't bother checking, I lol'd.

I am astonished - astonished - that an I Can Internets To Potato sounding outfit punted on some traded in hack with a less than entirely full disclosure of its foibles. Surely this is unprecedented in the annals of bike dealership history!

Matey-chum, never trust a dealer, and if you buy from a place that deals in 20+ year old bikes and Chinese fake-aways, you need to go in with your eyes wide open.

1st point tyre had flat spot as in squared off flat not round
2nd yes I am old school if tell me what turns out to be a lie I won't forget
3rd I have email trail that proves he knew about faults but insisted it was in "excellent condition"
4th I picked up bike in a van didn't ride bike so was foolish to take his word
5th that's the whole point of my post to make sure anyone who buys a bike from them checks the bike, and if not an expert like most on here pay the AA or other company to inspect it

I have taken the bike to two different garages and both came to the same verdict, sloppy, shocking and dangerous

I paid a kawasaki dealer to repair for peice of mind and have submitted a court claim to reclaim my costs.. if I died because the tyre or handling was effected I wouldn't be here to listen to these smart arse comments would I?

P.S if you buy a dog you don't bark yourself, I would put the dog down if it couldn't bark!!!

I bought the divvy from them.i thought there service was great.i was supposed to pick the bike up on a Thursday.but I had a phone call that day to say pick it up on the Saturday.the reason was it needed a new clutch cable new carb rubbers and fork seals doing..they wanted the bike in tip top condition beforei had it...3 yrs later not a single problem at all.

im sorry but it seems to be forgotten that this is my opinion of the service i recieved nothing more nothing less, the fact is i have started small claims court to get the money back for the work that needed to be done

if i was told and giving the option to make an informed choice then i would respect that but i wasnt

the laws i think that have been broken have still to be proved but as i repeat that is my opinion ( reported to trading standards) sale of goods act 1979, the road traffic act 1988 section 75 and the consumer protection from unfair trading regulations 2008

i gave them the option to change the negative opinion i have of them they declined, i also informed them that i would feel obliged to tell people what i thought... i dont want motorbikes4all to reply i want people to get a proffesional opinion before commiting to buying then find out there is no proactive support

all dealerships fall under laws and regulations, have you heard of one only having the terms and condition listed on a website? (its not an online store, it has a showroom before someone comments ) and i didnt buy from the website it was an ebay add

[Northern Monkey]

Would any of the faults you have listed resulted in a failed MOT. Do you have documentary proof from a qualified MOT inspector that any of the faults you have listed would result in the bike not being in a road worthy condition?

I still don't see how a squared off front tyre suggest wheelies?

It suggests they do a lot of straight line riding.

Well Im certaily not shocked at the barage of replies on this subject, you've only to look at the state of the country to realise we can't make decisions and help each other and most importantly stick together. I'm an old school biker and appreciate some one informing me of a dealer that malpractices or any thing that's likely to help me with decision making, lets face it purchasing a bike in my opinion is a big deal. I would also welcome the said dealer to put forward his/her opinion of this situation. I believe it should have been resolved well before any kind of litigation was even mentioned. Lets suppose militantchewy didnt have a clue what to look for when he picked up the bike it hardly makes him a fool, I bet there are things most people have no idea about it certainly doen't make them idiots. I believe we should be more respectful to each other and offer intelligent advice. This is only to Iain 'the traffic cop' in my experience no real traffic cop would divulge that information as I have many friends who are 'black rats'

Please... You think I care what motorbikes4all have to say, yes they can comment, justify, explain mean while some poor individual is buying a bike from them in the belief that I am talking crap and I have nothing better to do?

I don't live on the web, I can't put in the time like some but when I get time I will reply even to crass comments that think this is a murder trial


All it is is my opinion of my sevice and would advise anyone who is determind to use motorbikes4all gets it indipendantly inspected and that advice could save someone from injury or death

What have your comments done? Save someone £2 on some grips from China?
