just got mt log book for the bike and guess what..

[remal]

I was told it had 1 previous owner. my brother was also there and heard it from the sales person.

But on the log book it says 3 FFS

talked to the manager of the shop I bought it and they checked there HPi records and it says 2.
The manager was very nice and said I could taek the bike back and get hopfully most of my money back. But I got 3 problems with that
1) it will cost me probably £40 to change my insurance again.
2) I sort of droped it friday(I know what a ) only bent the front brake lever which I have replaced like new. it scrached the side fairing but only just a bit. less then a 1/4" and scuffed the bottom of the engine again nothing major. only lightly
3) I got a fresh set of BT-014's fitted last Friday, and chrash bungs ordered that I have payed for, just waiting for delivery.

They did say they could do some form of good will gesture if i was told incorrectly about the amount of previous owners if I did not want to get ride of the bike.

Thing is I got used to my first bike, its very clean and only got 4300 miles on the clock.

what to do. I bloody could do with out this

Ask for a couple of hundred notes back as compensation .

[FunkyNige]

I assume you've checked 2 of the owners aren't garages? I can imagine the first owner being the first garage, 2nd the actual owner, 3rd the garage you bought it off.

last owner a bloke. before that a women but can't account for the last one. the HPI shows 2 previous owners but the log book says 3? and thats not because of the last owner being the dealership I got the bike

work that out

[wedg1e]

Does it matter? As long as the previous owners weren't The Royal Signals and Achmed's Bike Couriers, plus that sort of mileage is bu99er-all... you bought a bike, not a slice of history.
Worst case scenario, ask for a gesture from the dealers (spare gloves, set of service consumables...)

[chilli]

Yeah, I wouldn't worry. Thats a bit off of the dealer, so go in ranting and take them for a few quid, and free sevicing for a couple of years.

[remal]

I think that is what I shall do.
a bit pissed I was not informed when getting the bike but I shall report back when I get soem freebies

It perplexes me how anyone can spend thousands of their hard earned on a vehicle and then not use it! It took a few thousand miles on my 7R before I could ride it anywhere near it's limits, so how a bike can have 3 owners yet only 4300 miles on the clock is lunacy! My TLR has 3/4 owners but then it has 17k miles on the clock!

Private plates in the history? DVLA often adds a new owner when there is a plate change even though there was'nt

I'm happy with the low miles. gives me plenty of chance to add the miles on

Misrepresentation under the sale of goods act? Maybe a rebate of some sort on top of the goodwill already received from them (maybe as an admission of guilt?)

Worth a try

[Philbes]

If the DVLC record shows '2 previous owners' that means 2 previous to the currently registered owner, so when you buy it and it is re-registered in your name you will become the 4th.

When you say last one, I assume you mean the original or first owner owner..?

If so, then it could have been the suppling dealer that pre-regd it, thus the first 'true' owner that bought the bike at delivery/zero miles was in fact the second registered owner.

Hence your 3 owners.

Are you happy with the bike? Do you want to give it back to the dealer?

I would just chalk it up to oner of those things I won't do again and would request to see the log book next time I bouight a bike. See you he will offer you and live with that and chalk it up to experience.
