So not a superdream not even a Honda ๐ฑ. But it is a motorbike ๐. My son recently decided to buy a motorbike from a auction site that deals in police recovered motorbikes. The bike he decided on had no key and the pillion seat was missing. The auction site gives very little away in their descriptions so you have to study the photos and take a punt. I found out about the purchase after the event and was asked to collect the bike from East Midlands. The bike was a 2012 however no registration was given and as there was no keys mileage was unknown. Photo of bike as shown on auction site. So would you have a go?

Absolutely. That's probably one of the only post-2006 motorbikes on the market I'd consider buying. Prefer them in the white though.

So collection was made and letโs see what we found Good News: We now have the registration so can check mileage via mot history Great news last mot shows 9,000 miles, with a long run of mots to back that up None of the locks have been tampered with. (Wonder why no keys?) Overall in very good condition. Think heโs had a bargain ๐ค. Bad News: Foot rest is bent badly Gear Lever is bent badly handlebars are pointing to the right when the front wheel is pointing straight ahead. and the front wheel is buckled ๐ซ
Letโs see if we can get it running.

My bet is that there is a yellow and white BMW somewhere with KTM shaped dents in it.

That looked like a steal. Is it in running order now? These go for around 4 to 5k currently.
