boner Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Guys, I'm after a new (to me) used bike... The question is where to start looking for one? Obviously, there are the classifieds here - and of course ebay. Can you suggest any other good places to look? Thanks - Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hovis Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Suprised at that... BVM, along with John Lampkins, are without doubt the best postal parts service i have ever used. Even phoning in the afternoon almost always results in me getting the parts the next day. i would agree i have ordered things off BVM at 4pm and still had them for the next day in the past BUT i spent over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hovis Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 If there's a delay in the post it isn't really their fault. Have you tried calling them to see if it's on it's way? last time i did, and i was told it had been sent on thursday, the next time i phoned they said it had been sent on monday, i have been let down twice now by BVM, i wont give them a third chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subira Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Forget all what you heard above - lots of people have dealt with BVM with no problems at all (including me - I have bought bikes and parts there and the service has always been excellent) , the post has been ****e down here over the Xmas period and there's this nice looking '04 on their website http://www.bvm-moto.co.uk/offroadbikes/off...ey=MONTESA05080 I'm not on their payroll, I just think that in the interest of balance you should also hear some positives.

BVM are very helpful, and will deal with any problems the best they can, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
