Same way that Starbucks/Google/Apple etc operate. Work the system so you declare a net loss to the government for tax purposes, and then report to shareholders you're making a massive profit cos all the money is worked through other countries/subsidiaries.

You can be asset rich but cash poor. Its called over trading and is the main reason companies go to the wall.

Usually when the bank gets nervous and pulls the overdraft.

One mate bought a Fireblade from The Macclesfield depot during lockdown all was done on video he sent a video of his bike they sent a video of the one he wanted. All went well and he has had no issues with it didn't try and knock him anything on collection day either.
Second mate bought a Ducati scrambler from Donnington all fine no issues he went and looked at it first though.

I went to the Donnington branch a couple of weeks ago and some of the bikes are rough close up if i were to buy from them 100% i'd go and have a look first.

the amount they offer you on webuyanyoldcrapbike.com would only be accepted by the desperate or those with bikes in a poor condition so not surprising much of the stock is rough, and they price low to shift many quickly but mainly interested in the sub-prime finance market where they can charge 39.9% APR

I have bought two bikes from them without any issues. One I traded in. I have sold one bike to them through webuyanybike or whatever it was. They are part of the Superbike Factory. Got a better price than I would have got if I'd traded it in.

I would use them again, they have a great selection, are reasonably priced and would trust their bikes over a private.

I guess I have been lucky. I'm sure they sell fucked bikes as well.

So I got my bike from superbikefactory.
R1200GSA.
Was all brought online.
Overall I'd say it was an average experience.
I'd rate it 5.5/10.

Firstly, I ordered the bike on the 18/11/2021 and it took until around th 18/12/2021 to get the bike actually delivered.

They had to replace an ABS pump. Which despite asking for I got no receipt of any work carried out. They said they do not provide these.
They also kept it longer to fit 'service' parts to the bike. By this I presume they meant either oil, pads or something similar.
Again, all they would tell me is it is in the workshop and they can not tell me what is being done to the bike. They would also not give me any invoice of work being carried out.
Needless to say I was not happy but, I still went through with the purchase.

Upon recieving my bike, I noticed a few rust bits and slight bits of damage not evident in the listing. But as it is a 15 year old bike it wasnt really an issue and the bike overall was in good condition. I wasn't too happy that the tyres had 2mm of tread on them though. They have like 1000 miles on them left.

So, I took it to a BMW Indie specialist to give the bike a look over. He took it apart a bit and confirmed it is a solid bike and the ABS pump was fitted properly. He also confirmed they basically used a load of pattern/generic stuff when servicing it though. e.g. Ail Filter, Oil Filter, and Oil. So he changed all that.


Would I use Superbikefactory again? Maybe for a cheap 125. I would not use them for a purchase over 5k again though. Especially with their crappy 28 day warranty. They do have a 2 year warranaty they try to upsell on you though, but their is a claim limit on that so probably not worth it.

So you paid BMW rates to replace perfectlly serviceable consumables With BMW branded consumables?

You clearly have more money than sense.

You can tell if the oil and filters have been replaced recently just by looking at them and you specifically mentioned pattern parts and having them replaced with BMW ones.
