Cos this bike will be brand new. It's a Chinky! I knew it would happen eventually! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy new its not worth it, the depreciation as soon as you ride away is enough to put me off let alone all the teething troubles with new vehicles.... no thanks, I bought a brand new seat ibiza cupra in 2010 and that was in the garage more than on my driveway, put me right off buying new vehicles for life 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well normally warranties aren't worth the paper they are written on, maybe Chinese ones are different, you may be lucky 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 What’s the point in obsessing over having a Honda for it to be bulletproof to then not trust it when out of warranty? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 My Chinky came with a 2 year unlimited warranty, but It only had a couple of slight faults...ungreased headstock bearings and a disc pad that threw the friction material off, but WK did their best to weedle out of the claim, bike shop did a good job and got them to aggre to the parts cost though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
