As some of you guys may know already i bought a daytona 675 09 plate 09 model in black from a dealer in south wales unfortunately i have been adviced that i am not to say there name !!!!! i also can't put the number plate on here ffs i am not going to due to the advice i have been given

anyway got it home and told my fella that i have been struggling to get it into gear he then showed me the gear lever had stress marks on it it had been bent then bent back and not very well grrr thats the start of it, huge bells started ringing so him and a machinic mate went through the bike with a fine toothcomb  the bloody thing had been down the road brand new engine cassing the clutch lever was missing a bush so it got stuck in position all the time grrrrrrr rear spindle scraped and had some masking tape marks stuck on the left hand fairing plus marks on bolt hole on frame , while he was looking throught the bike under the seat we found a ice tag usb ,, plugged it in and voila the previous owners details on it so phoned him , very straight with me told me he had told a short guy in the first office with grey hair ( cant say his name just in case grrr ) that the bike had been down the road and it had a full respray thats why it has a silver 2 ich stripe all the way down it as he choose to put that on it too make it unique , so i tok it back to dealer within minutes had my money back no questions asked in fact never had my money given back to me to so fast in my life ,i had asked if it had any damage on it when i was lookign at it was told no !!! also looked at an r6 blue with gold wheels 08 plate and that had damaged on it i told them no i dont want a damaged bike  so purchased this one !!!

so i have learnt a valuable lesson the next bike i get it will be fully checked by a machanic i will put it through a fine toothcomb ,

take a look at pics guys







i am happy i got my money back from this dealer but now worry what about the next buyer they now know about this damage and are bound by law they have to tell the next buyer that it is accident damaged it is illegal in this country to sell a vehicle knowing there is a fault or has been involved in an accident this is what i have been told so not sure if this would be true !!!!!!they now know about this damage and have to tell the next buyer !!!!!!!!

just wondering if a bike is written off by an insurance company it would show up on a hpi check as a cat C or D depending on damage , but if it is fixed by the insurance company does that show up anywhere on any checks

[UK Bike Forum Member]

think it only shows if it's been a right off not if it's ever been repaired

the previous owner didnt claim on ins so it is  not recorded so i consider myself damn lucky real lucky ,, if i had a off later on and my insurer found out it had already been down the road would they have paid me out i don't think so ,,

i am lucky very lucky i say
