Hello everyone, thanks for checking out my latest video. I went to the Superbike Factory in Macclesfield, UK to have a look at what they had to offer. I was literally mind blown at the number of bikes they had for sale. Used bikes, brand new bikes, orange bikes, red bikes, blue bikes...All sorts of bikes LOL.

Went to this dealership in 2022 to look at a ZZR1200 and they would not allow me to start the engine outside before putting a deposit on being a carb bike absolutely essential before purchase. I have been biking since 2004 not once has a dealer objected to me hearing a bike run before purchase. So left and went to Chorley Yamaha within minutes of walking through the door ZZR1200 was outside they gave me the keys and left me to it... 20 minutes later deposit paid bought the bike. Superbike Factory absolute wank avoid!
Buyer beware , the price of the bikes on display isn't negotiable and you can add a £250 service charge to that also !
Thank you for posting this video and it’s been very interesting reading all the negative comments about Superbike Factory. They have a bike that I really wanted to buy but I was already a bit nervous about purchasing site unseen (they are quite a distance from me) and they ask for full payment upfront - I don’t think so and now all of you have confirmed my fears so I am very grateful, thank you. It’s such a shame as it does look like they have an awful lot of decent bikes but, as one other commentor said, they are packed in so tightly. I will stick with my local motorcycle dealers.
I worked there at management level and their standards and work practices are bordering on criminal. Someone will be killed on one of their bikes if these practices continue. Please don't be that person and buy a bike from somewhere that actually services their bikes and who puts them through a thorough check process. 2 x 60 point checks does not constitute a 120 point check if the checks are the same but done twice. The collection drivers determine if the bike is 'ready to ride' without a technician looking at it. BE WARNED
Wow! I had sorta thought this could be the case as I saw a few auction bikes appear on the site for sale literally a day or so after the auction ended...good to know!
The other sad thing is they're so big now that it makes it harder for smaller shops to compete. My mate runs a small bike shop in Oxford and says it's hard to buy from the auction now because SBF and the other massive shops buy literally EVERYTHING
They don't realise that by acting like this it actually funnels customers to the smaller shops. They only got so big through loans and they need to sell this year to repay the original investors. Hopefully they disappear up their own A hole.
much mahalos for the tour🤙🏻
They are over priced on everything. They don't give a toss..
For me it’s the 1997 gsxr 750t in blue and white.. such a classic
I couldn't have stayed in there long either! They would have talked me into buying something for sure!! 😂.
SO many nice bikes!!
My GoPros start dying early in the cold weather. The colder it is the quicker it dies.
Good video man!!
Thanks man. Someone just told me the blue batteries suck and the white label ones are way better. I'll give those a try...I guess snowboarders and skiers don't get the same speeds as us and that wind chill obviously makes a big difference...
Wow, what a selection of iconic bikes! The V-twin variants of Aprilia's are amazing bikes, I wish I never sold mine.
I have to own one some day. Before they become too expensive and get cult status. Still at the affordable toy level pricing now...
@@bikehubjapan my advice.. give these people a very wide berth. Unscrupulous, rude, no customer service what so ever
So many beautiful bikes for sure 😎🤟I cured all my problems with GoPro by only using the white batteries since ditching the blue ones no more problems 👌
That's good to know. I guess I better order some batteries then. Genuine GoPro ones or generic ones?
Nice to see lots of different bikes. However, it's the same old problem. They are to packed in close together 😢
I thought the donnington site was bigger seemed that way but it could be cos it's got the cafe are too
We have nothing like that in Somerset would love to have a look
There’s one in Bristol.
Re-did a CBT today having been off bikes for over 3 years and had been enquiring about financing a bike with them.
May commit to it now next week once I've the money to put a deposit down
Tell me BikeHub sent you. Maybe they'll give me a free t-shirt or something haha
That's a good looking helmet you're wearing 😜😜
Got your step count in?
I'm tempted by the Tuono...
Yeah, I got this helmet off this legend who's a motovlogger. You might have heard of him...I'm just on the way to collect another bike. Winter hack this time...
@@bikehubjapan I heard he's a nob. Or something like that...
Yammie Nob, or New Biker... something like that 😂
@@bikehubjapan 😂😂😂
The intro 🤣🤣
Come on England! 🇬🇧
Nice video here mukka bike looks nice man
Cheers mate. Next big job is paint and probably changing the rear seat for a genuine YZF750 one rather than the R1 that's on it now. Thinking either a really dark grey or black... decisions decisions 🤔
oops... thought you'd commented on today's video about my street fighter haha. The ZX7R has gone now unfortunately...
@@bikehubjapan you got email address ?
@@thepeakybiker lizking666 at yahoo.com
Can you sit on the bikes? I was thinking of going just to try out the riding positions of various bikes as they probably have at least one of every bike I'm interested in.
I wonder how they manage to maintain the parts stock necessary to service & PDI so many different makes & models of bike? 🤔 Thought so. *AVOID!*
Thats my old factory,worked there 20+ plus years .Make sure they show you service history etc
What did you do there?
@@bikehubjapan It was a Extrusion Factory that started in 1985,making UPVC window and door frames etc
Ah, I see what you meant now. Thought you meant the same company 😅
What is the price of 125 cc bikes😊
That's where I got my Himalayan from. Customer service was excellent. They thoroughly check the bike through before delivery
I don't know what happened, but I wasn't subbed to you. Just corrected that mistake now. Could have sworn I was subscribed 🙇
@@bikehubjapan I'm pretty sure you've commented before. That happens sometimes
I would love a naked bike. Any. MT09. MT10. Speed Triple. Street Triple. Duke. Love the naked bikes.
I'd love to see you naked 🛏️
@@bikehubjapan Oh no you wouldn't, Hahahahaha
Sad fact is there is some nice bikes there, but mixed in with rusty unloved bikes didn't give me any confidence, we buy any bike, well they sure do!!!!
I woulda tried to hide somewhere and spend a night at that joint obviously I’d never get away with it🤘🏻😎‼️😂
Wouldn't want to know what you'd get up to if you were alone in that warehouse...🤣
@@bikehubjapan the wee gremlin’s that do all the wrenching and oil changes on the overnight shift🔧❓😂
Kawasaki z900 plz in England showroom
Could you please, very kindly, cut the background racket ('music') it drowns out your commentary and detracts from it. Thank you.
Yes, I'll somehow do that. How do you do that? Please tell me how. Should I ask the manager to turn the music off every time he sees me with a camera?
@@bikehubjapan I am referring to the background music that you have inserted, nobody else.
Hence my orIginal comment....." cut the BACKGROUND racket ('music').."
i have just bought a bike on here and seeing everything and what people are saying, im shitting myself. the bike isnt with them yet its being delivered to them first. shall i cancel and request a refund? i might follow my gut
Yeah, I could spend ages in the place and my wallet would be shuddering. Ride well. Cheers
Cheers mate. I reckon I'll go back again next time I'm bored...
went to superbikes in donnington the bike i was interested in was 'ready to go' according to the salesman and it was filthy, no test ride or anything like that so i said no and bought from a proper dealer
Not had one good comment about this company in all these comments 😜 Guess that says a lot about them!
@@bikehubjapan exactly it was ok for walking around and seeing different bikes but not to purchase. I did find another place up at Hinkley by Triumph headquarters and they really looked after the bikes I think they didnt allow a test ride on the used bikes but you could ride a new model. Completely Motorbikes at Hinkley
The con factory. A mate bought an R1m I think he's spent about double getting it road worthy 😂
Went to the shop at Cheshire to look at t100 bonny omg. They don't prep the bikes place is not 4 me at all
So many nice bikes to choose from.
Bloody GoPro's. Cut out at the worst time.
I'm thinking it's temperature related now it's cold outside. Wind chill etc.
@@bikehubjapan under 5c kills the battery
What you ride
When?
Bought a bike from there once, worst thing I ever done but yes my own fault, took 4 weeks after returning bike to get my money back, half the bikes in there look like they've been dragged out of a canal, look on trust pilot
United Kingdom Of Great Britain 🇬🇧 London is the best city in the world and best place for motorbike use business boost forever.
London is the best place to lose a motorcycle
Called in there and walked around for ages, nobody asked if I needed any help. When I did eventually approach someone they weren't interested and when asked about a certain bike's performance I was told 'Oh I don't know much about bikes' (!) Out of interest I enquired about my bike's trade in value. I was offered 1/3 of what I ended up getting from a smaller local dealer who I bought a new bike from. Shocking place, avoid.
Cut the crappy music.can hardly hear you
Yes sir right away sir...
we buy any car , and cinch , stack em high sell em cheap brigade did well during pandemic on the recent bull run on high vehicle prices , but they are now hemoraging cash and losing millions ,as is BCA car auctions who own both ,and i bet the likes of superbike factory are feeling the strain ,got to big to fast ,poor customer care , they wont be around long i reckons ,The nimble smaller dealers will survive
Fingers crossed for the little man!
Loads of bikes and not cleaned or serviced ready for sale 🤬 quantity not quality and a salesman that knew sod all about bikes 🤬 went to look at an XJR1300 and wouldn't start and waited half an hour and he still hadn't got someone to jump start it for me 🤬 walked out disgusted at such sh💩t sevice
Biggest bunch of crooks ive ever met, they have so much bad press, I wouldn’t buy a been from them 👎
