browsing they have a few nice gixxer 1000's

looking at the k4 which is a bit bleh or the k8

the k8 im querying the finance options as it makes little sense to me?

£560 deposit
£298 fees
£258 1st payment
£99 admin fee

is this saying i must pay all of this before i can walk out with a bike?
because £1.2k laying out n the 1st day for a £5.5k bike is pretty steep?

monthly and extra £2k im not too fussed about as ill clear the cost off way before the 60 months they give

I've seen the pics of their bikes online, even a chump can tell they are lash ups, badly maintained, miscoloured panels or wheels etc... now I've found out they offer their own finance you know they are basically the biking equivalent of Sub Prime mortgages. "Ten bazillion percent APR, and when you can't pay we'll send in Mr Friendly Bailiff!"

Would not touch with bargepole. Plus, you can't ride yet, and when you get vast compoz from the reversing incident, you'll be able to buy private sale bikes with all your cash so that leads to one simple and definitive question.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Don't you want to fix your spine first? Confused

And a gixxer on finance will fix all that? Smile

I'd honestly be scared of riding with a fragile spine, and depending on the pain/what brings it on, I doubt a sports bike would help. That's coming from someone with a chronic back problem.

You're in limbo and you can't earn, yet you want to take out finance from some blood sucking loan company?

Bought my Striple through Superbike Factory. I found them to be very helpful to be honest. The sales person was great. He offered a sensible price for my old bike in p/ex and sent over a load of high quality pics of the Striple. It looked great on the pics, 1 owner, full history etc. They did a deal on the bike, waved the admin fee (I'd never pay that) and delivered the bike to me for free.

The delivery was on the day and time specified and the bike looked a million dollars. After thoroughly checking it over I called them and paid the rest of the monies. They were extremely thorough checking over my p/ex. I didn't mind, thought it was a good thing. Chatted to the delivery driver for a bit, nice chap but rides cruisers so probably partial to swallowing sausage.

Few days later I got a call, making sure I was pleased etc.

All in all I thought it was great. Not perfect, I would have liked a service and 12 months MOT, but as I said it was cheapest online so couldn't complain too much.

I certainly wouldn't be put off using them again!

I should add that I work in the motor trade so the last thing I want is a bus man's holiday!

I don't understand this. You can't work and want to finance a bike? How are you planning to make the payments for this considering you're a cabbage?
