If you've bought from KJM, you may want to read the link.

If you've bought a Virago, you may wish you hadn't

Unbelievably evil.

tho I'd always be wary of a business with that address.

Complete wankers!

Are Kawasakis not good enough to make fake copies of then? Aprilia too below them? Suzuki not quite up to scratch?

Gits

I mean, why copy a Virago?!

Ah.. Ease of copying..

Slow (Wont show up the inferior engine)
Copy of a Harley (They'll expect it to ride like a dustbin)
It's a Yamaha that isnt really mainstream (So they wont notice the crap paint/poor finish)
It's a cruiser (So it wont get ridden often enough to break down)

I assume the person living nearby copped sight of the Chinky crates and took a sidepanel off his to check..

Cnuts trick really. They should be shot.

Yeah - I was looking at them once as their prices were good .... I think that some on here did buy their Falcos from them.
There again not sure it would be worth going to the effort of copying a Falco - Aprilia had to discount the genuine article as few realised what a great bike they are.

That looks like the 125cc version.

I should think it'll be a while yet before the Chinese manufacturers are copying the real bikes - not enough sold.

That'd make sense, although having seen some of the legal SV copies.. the Hyosung Comet, is it..? I wouldnt be so certain that the bigger bikes arent getting cloned... and well...

So have any of you reported it to their ISP?

KJM's?

It's not illegal to have a website selling bikes.

Theyve been done for the crime, so technically theyre doing nothing wrong?

Cant find their webby by the way.. ?

That was 3rd quarter of 2007 news btw..

Wow that's a worry. I bought mine from there two years ago. They carry a large stock of Suzuki, Yam, and Kawa bikes as well as Aprilia and Benelli. Lots of big and little cruiser types.

I'm fairly confident that the prilla's are genuine - proper log book, homolagation stamp, Aprilia recovery card etc etc...... having said that who the hell knows ..... they could be forged easier than copying and badging a motorbike

My only complaint was that they were very uninterested when I complained at the first service about flaking paint on the shoe/foot at the bottom of the fork legs. I didn't have the energy to argue about a warranty claim. (there are gonna be hard anodised by Reactive Suspension when it goes in to have the forks re-valved).

Nooj got his from KJM I think - and he's taken his to bits more than once so he'll have a good idea if anything looked dodgy.

When I drought my new Falco from Orrell they said they had supplied some Falcos to KJM in Wigan. So they should be the real thing
