It screams scam all the bikes are in different locations in the pictures.



look at that. American car in the background, plus chrome wheels (only yanks like crap like that on a Ducati) £2500 for a 999!!!!

Some of the prices are ludicrous. 2200 for a 2007 gsx750r no chance. That’s 2-3 grand under

right someone can close the topic now its definately a scam.

Just got a call from the guy, it was a commonwealth cousin chap, not Irish.

Told me how much tread the tyres had, how good a bike it was lots of detail.

I asked where they are based, “Ireland” he replies.

I said ok can I have the registration number, silence followed by “let me just check the computer”.

“oh ill need to get back to you, I don’t have it here. But we can deliver for £110 to the uk. It comes with a 30 day money back guarantee”.

Nah id need to see it, “ok let me get back to you with reg and pictures”.

Well the company has no address listed and the store locator can't even find it's own shop which is a little strange.

All the prices are in sterling which again strikes me as odd?

No descriptions on 90% of the bikes. The others seem to be the easiest ones to rob.

As you say the pictures are mostly from abroad.

It's either the work of a moron or a conman, either way I wouldn't bother.

well see you do get the odd gem with Gumtree where it screams steal but it turns out good (my daytona for example), I just got all excited before I researched more into it. Ive wanted one for ages and it was a steal. In this case it reall was a steal.

I've reported them to Gumtree and now intend to waste their time as much as possible.

Pick up only, probably in a back alley with 3 of his mates and a baseball bat each.

to be honest I blame the schools, they should start vetting any students who spell the word advertise as "advaties". No wonder he turned to a life of crime with spelling like that. I thought mines was bad.

Plenty of nonsense on the hyland motors website but the funniest is that they have been trading 15 years carrying out MOTs and have a strong team including 4 MOT testers according to their "about us".

There is no roadworthiness test for motorcycles in the Republic of Ireland! Pure scam laugh

According to their website, they sell "Choopers" and "Poketbikes".

My favourite is the 2011 Harley dyna with 1400 miles for £3900. What could possibly be suspicious about this? I might call these jokers tomorrow for the laugh.
