Bargain HP4 NOT!

[MacRR]

Happened upon a secondhand bike dealer I hadn't been into before this morning and won't be going into again, spotted an HP4 Carbon so felt duty bound to have a look over it, I've seen learner bikes better looked after and with less tat thrown at them, but best of all the price, 17 grand.......

I am no fan of Motografix they are not subtle

Tbh it doesn?t look that bad. Motografix kit looks balls but protects the paint and can be took off. If it?s low miles and all the original kit comes with it then it should be worth 16.5k to 17k

Its covered in marks, disc bolts, chain adjusters etc all corroded, thought it was crap tbh

Definatly been on a track

I have had 2 bmw cars with no issues. Still have one and it has no issues. ‘Full of faults’ is fairly damning, I guess you have had problems, what issues have you had with bmw cars?

On a separate note, no interest in my hp4 despite it being in truly mint condition, 15k miles for a 5 year old bike appears to be too much mileage, 3000 miles a year is nothing, puts me off wanting to buy anything collectable because you cant actually use it before selling it on. Bonkers.

I've done 400k miles in 6 BMW cars in the last 15 years, no issues worth mentioning

Looks mint, hope you get some dry roads to enjoy it

 

[JimmyMac]

had 5 in total

So I take it 4 were great and 1 not so? If I thought a product was full of faults I wouldn't keep chucking money at new ones hoping to find a good one.

Just my 2p worth, ohh and I have 3 BMW cars and 2 bikes at the moment and the only thing I have found wrong is that the front bumpers don't like French kerbstones but I assume that is not some German designers fault, lol.

Hope your next one is a goody.

Great buy Towers, the rep. you built was a beauty, do you find much of a difference riding this one?

For ?12k, you should be handing yourself into the Police for stealing it.................lol

Great buy and I hope it keeps you smiling for years to come.

As Jimmy says, how does the HP4 compare with your previous RR?

 

[towers040]
