Further info...
The bike has a 1996 frame with the numbers from the 2003 bike stamped into it. This stamp error was overlooked by D&K and the police are satisfied that there are NO charges to be brought.
The frame from the 1996 bike was NOT stolen!!
The bike should have been SVA tested not mot'd and it should have been put onto a 'Q' registration or scrapped.
Quote from D&K motorcycles manager Mr Neesam:
"I was unaware that the bike was put together in this manner however i was aware that it had been damage repaired.If Mr Holt wishes to have a refund we will be happy to do so, if he wishes to choose another bike then he is welcome to come and choose a replacement."
Mr Neesam & Mr Wilson from D&K were very keen to resolve this matter with a minimum of hassle.
hi lads if this is the same place that is in leeks then this is the second time they have sold a default bike unfortunatly the the second one ended in a fatality guy just bought a tl 1000 suzuki and they did,nt check bike out bolt came loose on swinging arm guy went into car killing him think the case is under investigation seen this on face party it was put on there by his sister who has taken action against them as he was 21 years old ,,,,,will update this so you can check it out for yourselves ,,,,,,,,,
just read that link ,,,well at least they have settled the issue but i think they have left it way to late now as to many people have read the story i would think they have badly damaged their reputation now wot you think
heres thatlink i was telling you about the girls name is motogpsis type that in as the member your looking for and read the the story at the bottom of the page ,,,,,,,,,funny how things stck in your mind
It's way too late for DK now, they once had a good reputation, but that has been seriously if not permenatly tarnished and I hope it becomes the downfall of them. We do not need dealers like that damaging the good name of us bikers.
They are also in a legal battle with Honda. Apparently DK have been importing grey bikes from a dealer in the US which isn't allowed by their Honda franchise contract to sell outside of the US.
This is yet another dodgy operation by DK Motorcycles and I feel they won't be in buisness for very much longer. Good riddence I say.
