Well don’t go near this lot if you can help it.
They had a 2012 R1200GSA ex police bike up for sale with 47k on the clock. Was in touch with the guy Danny and was told it did run but had an intermittent immobiliser fault. So ran a car vertical report all checked out.
Danny had said it had full history and all documents and keys.
So hooked trailer onto car and travelled the 500miles down. Was after a project that would need some fettling which I was happy with. Arranged to be there at specific time, got there bike was rough to be expected. No sign of Danny and no answer on phone after numerous calls.
Mechanic was sound but he knew little of the bike and said it wasn’t running at all. Hooked up the GS911 and there were a load of faults. Could have been an ignition coil, or starter switch. Anyway went to check books, oh there aren’t any just the V5. Ok where’s the other key, no only one.
So pissed off after traveling and given I couldn’t get Danny to speak after 90 mins I walked away.
I had paid a deposit and was told this would be returned.
No apology and still no deposit back. I’m not fussed but a little honesty is all I wanted.
So still have had no response from him and no money, so be aware.
