Hello everyone, thanks for checking out my latest video. I went to the Superbike Factory in Macclesfield, UK to have a look at what they had to offer. I was literally mind blown at the number of bikes they had for sale. Used bikes, brand new bikes, orange bikes, red bikes, blue bikes...All sorts of bikes LOL.

Went to this dealership in 2022 to look at a ZZR1200 and they would not allow me to start the engine outside before putting a deposit on being a carb bike absolutely essential before purchase. I have been biking since 2004 not once has a dealer objected to me hearing a bike run before purchase. So left and went to Chorley Yamaha within minutes of walking through the door ZZR1200 was outside they gave me the keys and left me to it... 20 minutes later deposit paid bought the bike. Superbike Factory absolute wank avoid!
Buyer beware , the price of the bikes on display isn't negotiable and you can add a £250 service charge to that also !
Thank you for posting this video and it’s been very interesting reading all the negative comments about Superbike Factory. They have a bike that I really wanted to buy but I was already a bit nervous about purchasing site unseen (they are quite a distance from me) and they ask for full payment upfront - I don’t think so and now all of you have confirmed my fears so I am very grateful, thank you. It’s such a shame as it does look like they have an awful lot of decent bikes but, as one other commentor said, they are packed in so tightly. I will stick with my local motorcycle dealers.
I worked there at management level and their standards and work practices are bordering on criminal. Someone will be killed on one of their bikes if these practices continue. Please don't be that person and buy a bike from somewhere that actually services their bikes and who puts them through a thorough check process. 2 x 60 point checks does not constitute a 120 point check if the checks are the same but done twice. The collection drivers determine if the bike is 'ready to ride' without a technician looking at it. BE WARNED

Wow! I had sorta thought this could be the case as I saw a few auction bikes appear on the site for sale literally a day or so after the auction ended...good to know!

The other sad thing is they're so big now that it makes it harder for smaller shops to compete. My mate runs a small bike shop in Oxford and says it's hard to buy from the auction now because SBF and the other massive shops buy literally EVERYTHING

They don't realise that by acting like this it actually funnels customers to the smaller shops. They only got so big through loans and they need to sell this year to repay the original investors. Hopefully they disappear up their own A hole.
much mahalos for the tour🤙🏻
They are over priced on everything. They don't give a toss..
For me it’s the 1997 gsxr 750t in blue and white.. such a classic
I couldn't have stayed in there long either! They would have talked me into buying something for sure!! 😂. SO many nice bikes!! My GoPros start dying early in the cold weather. The colder it is the quicker it dies. Good video man!!

Thanks man. Someone just told me the blue batteries suck and the white label ones are way better. I'll give those a try...I guess snowboarders and skiers don't get the same speeds as us and that wind chill obviously makes a big difference...
Wow, what a selection of iconic bikes! The V-twin variants of Aprilia's are amazing bikes, I wish I never sold mine.

That's good to know. I guess I better order some batteries then. Genuine GoPro ones or generic ones?
Nice to see lots of different bikes. However, it's the same old problem. They are to packed in close together 😢
I thought the donnington site was bigger seemed that way but it could be cos it's got the cafe are too
We have nothing like that in Somerset would love to have a look

Can you sit on the bikes? I was thinking of going just to try out the riding positions of various bikes as they probably have at least one of every bike I'm interested in.
I wonder how they manage to maintain the parts stock necessary to service & PDI so many different makes & models of bike? 🤔 Thought so. *AVOID!*
Thats my old factory,worked there 20+ plus years .Make sure they show you service history etc

Called in there and walked around for ages, nobody asked if I needed any help. When I did eventually approach someone they weren't interested and when asked about a certain bike's performance I was told 'Oh I don't know much about bikes' (!) Out of interest I enquired about my bike's trade in value. I was offered 1/3 of what I ended up getting from a smaller local dealer who I bought a new bike from. Shocking place, avoid.
