Badly scammed by vivamoto.co.uk when I bought a motorbike. I was misled into buying a pile of junk t
I live in Sweden and in this internet age I deceided to buy a bike from Vivamoto.co.uk in Bradford West Yorkshire in UK. The sales man Steven F****** was really nice and promised that the bike was in excellent condition. The ad said "very well maintaind" and "well cared for". So I thought I bought a really nice bike worth brining to Sweden with a company.
Once it arrived I was as deeply chocked. The engine didn´t work, the red oil pressure lamp was lit and the bike was just in an devistating condition.
See the forum post for all documentation inclding emails, sms, phone calls, inspection protocol from independent workshops who have checked the bike for European Consumer Center. Correspondence with Europan Consumer Center and Trading Standards in UK. They simply ignore all of their letters.
