I am looking at a bike tomorrow to buy , and was wondering if anyone has access to HPI checks for bikes please,

If so , can you do me one, I will buy you a beer when I see you at a meet , hopefully on my new steed ;);)

you can check out the bike yourself online,unfortunately there is a fee(not expensive)..but what price for piece of mind

[Wes]

Theres one i use which you text the number and it pings back the info straight away, pretty reasonable too, textcheck £3 a pop.

Thx guys for the swift responses :cool:

,yes seen the online ones and text one,

Was kinda hoping there was a friendly dealer that frequented the site , who could squeeze me in :D

the text one is cheap , but doesn't do finance though , so you could be taking on someones loan aswell as forking out for a new bike :rolleyes:

[Wes]

They do it as an option, around £5 max so you get the full check for around £9

Thx Wes

Also found this one https://www.mycarcheck.com/ £9.95 does the lot !!!

[Wes]

No probs, a bargain really at that price :)

[919honda]

[Wes]

Yes no probs, I try to make the bikenight on a wednesday where possible, or the official rides are the second sunday each month. Just pm me and we can arrange a meet up point.

You don't carry the can for someone else's finance if you buy their bike, unless you are a motor dealer of some sort.

I used to be.............a car salesman many years ago and worked with finance on motor vehicles so do know what I'm on about here.

If you buy the bike from a private individual as a private individual you will not be expected to pay the sellers finance off.

[Dabz]

But the finance company can still seize the vehicle from you if there's outstanding finance as legally they own the vehicle. That's the issue, not making you pay the finance - they just take the bike

[81-Nomad]

Not if you have all the correct paperwork they can't.

If you have bought it in good faith and the seller has signed the receipt stating it's not been a write off, had serious accident or has any financial claim to it you are good to go.

Unless this has changed but I'm sure it hasn't.
