FocusDave01 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I cant stress this enough, I just found out today that my motor is pretty much done and these stupid fucking pricks are nothing but lying sacks of shit. Now unless I come up with 1700ish (talked to Rueben at 35motorsports) Im done for the season. I have called Middletown they dont seem to care they had to have known this bike was a lemon and obviously the previous owner ragged the piss out of it. So again STAY AWAY FROM MIDDLETOWN CYCLE!

cbr600f3 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 and if you can find out the previous owner and get a writen statement on what he knew about it before tradeing it in, that will help you too! glad I took them law classes now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilTwin Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Sorry about your luck, just reinforces my view that no shop or dealer can be trusted these days unless you know them personally. Everyone is out to rape you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is out to rape you. I don't know about everyone, but there are quite a few shady dealers out there.... I guess thats why it's a good thing we have a review section on the board... so everyone can see who the shady ones and the good ones are.....

It means that they have honestly let you know what the state of the bike was and given you the oppurtunity to "inspect" the bike. They were aware of the problems with the bike, I dont think it would hard for a lawyer to prove, they are a motorcycle dealer and in the business of motorcycles so ignorance is not an excuse.

NinjaNick Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 A good guy I met in Dayton this morning told me he bought his bike there and they're pieces of shit. He told me don't ever do business with them. So you're not the only one I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catman Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 How long did you have the bike ? miles you put on it since bill of sale ? What did they charge you for it ?? Close to blue book ? the lemon law here realy doesn't mean shit even on new cars ? Make signs and post them on every tele pole in the area. These guys are thieves !If you have a valid point and any arguement, they can never win any defimation type case against you !!Now get out there and let the public know !!

Moto-Brian Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 How many miles have you put on the bike? How long have you had it? The fork seals thing is something that can happen... The motor? Well, the 06s are known to have issues, but have them tell you who the previous owner is.If the bikes was raced or track days a lot, it is suspect to having motor issues. What did Reuben see that caused him to think the motor is shit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the sale and purchase of goods, no agreements are necessary by laws that go back to the time of handshakes. Courts recognize the concept of honorable transaction. Any deviation from acceptable and traditional practices, is not seen as good business procedures. I vote for calling state attorney general, to see if they will take the case. For instance, if it were a race bike previously, that would have been deceptive regardless of an "as is" agreement, and they would probably have them buy it back.

As fro ruebens verdict on the bike i just gave him the symptons and told him all the stuff we did today and still having problems, i mean unless its something stupid its kinda obvious the bike: smokes whiteish/blueish tint, and burns oil like no tomorrow *at high RPMS only tho* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
