never heard of them!
Maybe i'm just a suspiciuos person but does anybody else thinks it's strange that they don't have a landline number or and address on their website?

and perhaps that all their photos are taken against shipping containers ?

Ditto, a quick google on the dealer name places their address at longleat square though.
Looks like a very out of the way spot to put a dealer - map (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=longleat+square&sll=51.289373,-0.738817&sspn=0.56597,1.277161&ie=UTF8&ll=51.289258,-0.738943&spn=0.001105,0.002494&t=h&z=19&om=0)
the bike is on biketrader, i did think it strange, as normaly you can click dealers location, but i had to do a route planner to farnbourgh hants as thats the only address thats given
i only posted on here as it looks right next to guilford?

it seems strange that nobody has heard of the dealer, somthing could be dodgy,
thanx

Yeah Farnborough is close to Guildford. But i'd steer clear of that one, just too many dodgy things about it

Doesn't look dodgy to me. Looks like he has a secure container to keep the bikes in. My friend has one for his training school. Give him a shout and go look at them. You'll soon know if something is up when you see them.

Maybe that's because you're dodgy as well? The thing i thought a bit strange was the lack of address and land line number

I bought 3 bikes from a trader like this. Lived in Tilford and only had a mob number. Was a nice guy running an office from his house. if it's a good price don't discount it.
I thought to run a proper legit business you need things like a landline number and so fourth. By all means give it a go but def. be wary
i will give him a ring. just to see, but not sure if i fancy buying off them, as it seems a bit strange, if its just a guy with a lock up container selling them, with no workshop i guess there wont be much of a warranty?
and is a bit of a treck, if im not 100% sure about them

Why not tell him your concerns and ask for a landline contact number ? perhaps he is genuine and doesn't realise how it comes across ?
nothing to loose.
Cheers Mark.

Bit of a trek, yes, if you want one of us to go and do a quick check that the dealer does exist at that address, just ask us in the guildford section. I'm sure someone would help.
You can even pester Sarah to do it as she's one of the GM!
I've lived in Farnborough for a while and never heard of that name - just goes to show though I suppose.
You can see from the map that the address is residential Hovis, but theres a fair few industrial estates that end of Farnborough, going into Aldershot (inc North Camp) which could be where the lockup is.
Very odd in my opinion not to have an address / landline on a website, but like has been said, it could be 100% legitimate.
just spoke to him, he seems ok?
he runs it from his home, and is a LTD buisness.
looking at £2500 + my bike which seems ok, but it will need the big 16000mile service soon, which he said he cant do, as he has no machanic
now.......... who wants to testride a fireblade?
now.......... who wants to restride a fireblade?
Restride?
Restrict - you've got a full licence :confused:
