Whose lifetime......yours, theirs or the bike’!?

It is pure marketing. How long are you likely to own the bike in return for a guarantee that ties you to their servicing and ‘nominally free’ MoTs without knowing their charges etc......?

I would not be put off but nor should you be taken in. It is nothing special.

Anyone remember Comerfords, Gus Kuhn, Searings, Bob Hill, Coburn & Hughes never mind Metropolis!

 

I know this is a bit late, but...
I bought my Tiger from here, and i won't ever buy from them again.
The sales guy couldn't get rid of me quick enough when i went to pick the bike up - he was stood talking to a group of his mates when i arrived.
I also had an electrical issue with the bike for the first couple of weeks i owned it, which they basically blamed me for, which was a load of bollocks.
To be fair, the service manager was ok, but the 'technician' that spoke to me, and the sales guy treated me like i was a fool.
Never again, be warned people.

 

I couldn't agree more,had a real bad experience with them,last year bought a 650 versys,took it back for its 600ml service i said there was a real bad vibration all through the bike,can't take the mrs on the back it's so bad,they said what do you want us to do about it,they wouldn't take it out for a test ride,i ended up giving it back at a loss of a grand,bought an africa twin from there as i couldn't get out of the HP so had to have something,apart from that being the worst bike iv'e had in 40yrs i asked "the technican" to wire up the heated grips for me and because he couldn't push the eyelets through a clamp he cut them off poked the wire through then joined it back up with the thinnest wire youv'e ever seen,it wasn't up to the job of passing the current through and would have set on fire,i now make it my mission in life to steer people away from there.

 

Great thanks for the warning peeps.
Regards
Joe.

 

Jeez, my experience wasn't as bad as that, but i still won't go back there.
They tried to tell me, an electrical fault was down to me not tightening a battery lead up, which was complete bollocks.
I picked the bike up from them and a couple of days later it was dead as a dodo, i checked the warranty and the battery wasn't covered, so i sucked it up and paid £85 for a new one from another dealer. 2 days later and that one was dead too, so there was definitely an issue somewhere. I took it back to them (after a considerable amount of messing about on my part, as they wouldn't collect it) and left it with them. They got back to me after a week and said i'd left the earth lead loose on the new battery i'd fitted...
So why it happen in the first place i asked... oh batteries do that sometimes was there reply.
I couldn't get away from there fast enough after that, i was fuming. Fortunately, the bike has been faultless since.
