The insurance write off resellers?

Have a look around and you'll probably get one not written off

They have been around a long time and I have had mates buy from them and been O/K. I personally think prices are a bit high generally but it depends what you are going to do with the bike. I would think you would be able to pick RF900's cheap now anyway? If you wanted a newish bike and did not fully repair the cosmetic damage you can pick up some decent stuff. With any bike that as been in an accident be prepared for damage that is not easy to detect.

Theyre called Robbing Sods for a reason!

Been and looked once or thrice. Walked away. Too expensive for what they're palming off.
I'm local tha knows ;)

I would have thought you would be able to pick up an undamaged RF for under a grand? That GSF 750 that was for sale on here would have been a better buy? Unless he specifically wants a RF?

Thanks for taking the time to reply guys n gal i will pass on the info to my Bro. He was interested in that gsf on here and does fancy an rf but hes on not to big a budget so thats why he was looking at RS place. I will tell him to keep looking for a straight bike as im sure something will be out there for him. Cheers all, your a good bunch :)

Yes, repeatedly.

If they've got what you want for the price you want to pay then crack on. They do what they say on the tin.

Guaranteed to be not nicked (currently, you know what I mean...) etc but mostly crashed, fairly expensive, don't expect to haggle very much off even for cash, and no guarantee of history etc.

As above, don't understand why they ask retail prices for right offs?
