Looking at track bikes i found
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-R1-10 ... Sw1g9fQoHz
Which seems a cracking price...
But then looked at some of their other stuff.
https://www.adambikes.co.uk/product/200 ... your-bike/
2004 Yamaha R1 for £2200 ?
2017 R1 for £9000???
https://www.adambikes.co.uk/product/201 ... your-bike/
2013 CBR600 at £2800
https://www.adambikes.co.uk/product/2013-honda-cbr600/
These seem a bit too cheap to be correct ?

The cheaper ones are probably insurance write offs.
There's a shop at Thorne near Doncaster that 99% of the stock are write offs, but the owner doesn't tell you unless you ask and they're never advertised as write offs.

Lots of spelling and grammatical errors in the adverts, makes me wonder if they could read the service manual properly !!??

Looks like a unit in a little industrial estate according to Google Maps.
Unfortunately streetview doesn't go inside.

Plenty of little businesses like this will be sole traders, which in itself isn't a problem.
Some of those bikes will be Cat D write offs, but again, nothing wrong with that either. Caveat Emptor and all that, Rodney
Personally, I tend to scroll past bike being sold in London or any big city centre; they will have probably have had a harder life per mile covered, than a rural bike. Completely unscientific, but I'm the same with cars..

Down the road from me. Never heard of em. Lots of bikes show as out of stock when you select them, several others have need to apply for v5, engine swapped, stolen recovered and the MT07 says owner rebuilt the engine! Some look rough too. Would want to know more before buying from them
