Motomine isn't just selling written off bikes. They are 4th Dimension. They are writing off your bike, taking ownership, and selling them on.
Regarding the flood damaged bike, I think Freddie is suffering from SMS (Short Memory Syndrome)!
I watched these videos with interest. I work in insurance and there is a lot of misinformation being said here. This is a complex area and needs addressing properly IMO. For a start, there is no such thing as “buying back” your bike (or car). It’s always your property so there’s no need to buy anything back. Also replacement “hire” bikes are never free. You as the renter are legally liable for All costs at all times. The hire agreement is subject to the consumer credit act as credit is being extended to you. Be aware of this. I see hires of £30k and more for a hired bike. No exaggeration at all. The highest I’ve seen is £88k. For a bike! Also if you buy a Cat N (or X or even an S) be very aware of the repair costs. Ive done this and it ain’t as simple or cheap as you think. There’s usually a reason it was written off. There are borderline cases and these are known as ‘constructive total loss’. Usually if the vehicle is under a couple of years old it will be written off because the repairs are 80% (or 60% con’ TL)or more of the purchase price.
I had the misfortune to have my Bentley driven into a few years ago. My two biggest issues were:
Freddie , I look forward to watching your unique weekly blend of enthusiasm and insight into the biking world, you deserve your success - all best Phil
Great you are highlighting this Freddie.
Regarding the Swedish Honda 600? They were sold in the U.S.A as the Honda Nighthawk 650 SC between 83 and 85. Exactly the same twin cam engine, with hydraulic valve lifters, so no valve adjustment needed, and the shaft drive. I’ve had one for over twenty years, commuted into London with it for fifteen years, currently on 98,000 miles. Apart from consumables, only replaced the head gasket and valve seals two years ago. Many other eighties Nighthawks out there, but these were only available for those two years. Always a pleasure to watch your Vlogs. Thanks, Geoff.
Freddie, the bids on eBay can increase massively in the last few minutes of an auction, same with synetiq/copart, bargains can be got but you're up against a lot of people wanting the same.
3k budget. I’ve just bought a FZ1 2003 for £1200 with only 9k miles. Plenty of deals to be had. I have a CBX1000z and a VFR750. The old ones are good value and hold money as well as turn heads. Good biking……good investment
We had a 1960 Royal Enfield Indian Chief at Cheffins Vintage Auctions back in 2018. It was 1960 model in dark blue & was registered in the UK in 2013. Based on the Enfield Constellation, The Chief differed from the Trailblazer with a twin seat, 16in front wheel, balloon tyres & deeply valanced mudguards. Unfortunately, I can't remember if it sold.
Hi freddie, i believe moto mine are 4th dimension. nice videos by the way.
I moved to Australia start of the year, I bought a 1956 Indian tomahawk 500 when I got here. Cracking little bike
Just love those RE Indian bikes! Interesting!
another great pod cast 😄
If Indian and RE do a collaboration, it should be called "Actually Indian"
Agree that Royal Enfield Indian Trailblazer would be a hit. Absolutely love that red on with the brown seat. Great episode!
Freddie, talking about unusual bikes, have a look at the Suzuki Cavalcade, a v4 1360cc engine big touring bike, only around for a couple of years in the 1980's. Keep up the good work !!
You need to have a look at the Indian Velo 500. This was a bike that crossed a Velocette 500 engine with an Italian frame and cycle parts. I believe that about 150 were built and sold as Indians in the USA.
always enjoy your discussions. your voice would be good for audio books🙂
Hej Freddy, The 600 was a slightly upgraded 550 and was sold in Sweden instead of the 650 Nighthawk witch we had in ´82 what a gorgeous bike is and one of the few left on my bucket list.
