Capital city motorcycles

[Yazza54]

Has anyone heard of these guys?

A friend is looking at some bikes they have on ebay but to me everything they have just seems too cheap. Like suspiciously cheap.

Their ebay is capital-city-ltd, based in west hampstead, London

Funny you should mention as I was just looking at a 4k mile GSXR 1000 K7 for £3k.

Way too cheap.

Same bike, plus a couple of others

Doesn't sound right at all

0205 Number - not something I am familiar with either?

[Yazza54]

Bit fishy you reckon?

Are you familiar with how to look things up on the web? It's a London area code.

Suspiciously cheap.

I'm guessing they are messing about quoting a part of the finance package mentioned in the blurb or something. £4500 does not generally buy a 2012 R1 but £99 deposit and £292 per month for 3 years certainly would!! Cannot think they will get away with it for too long.

Definitely avoid with a barge pole, mate range them and they spun a load of bks about selling his bike cheap to hide cash from his wife blah blah, and the bloke was in fife or something daft!

Then I think he mentioned checking him out and he just hung up haha

When I was looking for my bike I saw some from them and alarm bells were going off.

I read about this on another forum. The seller replied to someone saying they'd been hacked and not to buy any bikes and they were sorting it.

If someone hacked their website (why would they bother?) I could think of a better way of discrediting them instead of reducing the selling price of some bikes!

"Lol, that bike at £6999 yeah?"
"what, lol, the K7 GSXR1000?"
"Let's make is £2999!"
"No way man, that's outrageous! Lol"

i'd have thought that was the perfect was to discredit someone if indeed that was their aim.

Applying logic to hacking...interesting idea.

They're a Yamaha dealer, quite well established, been trading since 2004 on ebay, seems more logical then them randomly deciding to advertise ALL their bikes at mega cheap prices for no apparent reason. Even more so since they all seem to be back at the correct prices now. Retarded hackers do all kinda of stupid things so it wouldnt be anything new.

When I was selling my wife's Golf last year, I got a phishing email looking like an official Autotrader one. I got done! Went in, entered my details to connect to my advert and then got a '404 error' type page. Thought no more of it until the phone went mad the next morning. After 4 or 5 call arranging viewing I thought it was weird so went to see the ad on the website and low and behold the price was reduced from £12k to £6k. Why? God knows. Probably just for sts and giggles.

All that to say, it could happen.

Unbelievable!

Well, this thread's certainly taken a strange turn.

Two brand new posters popping up with warnings as their only posts, and I don't understand palace15 at all. Are you insinuating that Capital City send people round to "negociate" or that you can send some lads round to talk to capital city on livingstone240's behalf?
