suzuki250 Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 DO NOT BUY WITHOUT SEEING IT......you may regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Cannot say I have heard anything about this mob. And I've been around Trials in this area for over 14 years. I'd avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantic240motor Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 No opinion on the seller but my advice is always view before you buy. If you can't travel or it's too far leave it and wait for a more local bike. I didn't about 3 years ago, it was a dealer with a nice website and it was a mistake. Funny when I think back now, we spoke on the phone and I was assured it was all in good order and ran nice. He even had his "mechanic" check it over! You live and learn... Dealers or private selling obviously want as much as they can for a bike, some will be more honest than others. Plus at the end of the day a used off road bike's value is subjective and so is a description like "runs well" or "needs tiding". You need to see it in person to decide for yourself.

anotherfive Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 This dealer sells lots of trials bikes but is not on the trials scene, unlike most dealers around here. See it in the flesh and ask for its history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobbler Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Adrian - is on the trials scene and can be found at most of the Kia Twinshock rounds....... he sells a lot of bikes and I have only ever found him to be fair & straight talking.....send him a message or just give him a ring !!!! Depending which bike and where you are ..... he might be able to get it closer to you to see !!!! Cheers As always The Wobbler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishtwinspring Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Bought a 4rt from Adrian "blind",after discussing it with him on the phone.Was delivered on the day as agreed and was exactly as described in both the ad on fleabay and the phone.Got to speak as you find , he was very fair and accurate.Seeing the bike has got to be the best way but its not always possible.
