I've been meaning to post this for quite sometime now. But I've been extremely busy with work. I've thought about this over and over prior to posting. I feel this is extremely important that I do this.
Anyways, thought I'd let the community know about my dealings with MikeyMoto (www.mikeymoto.ca/)
Here's my story.
On May 4th, i was cut off by an SUV and as a result, I had to lay the bike down. The bike was a 2008 Honda CBR1000rr, yellow in colour.
The bike was towed to Snow City in the east end. A few days later I had Mikey pick up the bike and tow it to his place in Brampton (I live in Mississauga so it was more convenient)
The bike was looked over and it was determined that to get the bike up and running again, it would cost around $4,000 - $4,500.
Frame was cracked, rear subframe was bent, swingarm was off and pushing on the frame, and had deep gouges and was deemed unsafe, left side fairings had to be replaced, clip on was broken, rear wheel was bent etc... the list goes on...
I went by and spoke with Mikey and i was told "let someone else fix this". It's not worth it.
Mikey also mentioned that he has wholesalers that come and buy bikes off him. And that he could check with them to see how much they would offer.
I got a call later from Mikey and was told the wholesaler would give me $3000.
I thought about it and decided to cut my losses and move on.
Later, I went to see Mikey and he gave me cash (weird) and i was told the wholesaler is running late and he will pick up the bike later that night.
Fast forward to 1 month.
I bought another bike and contacted Mikey to ask about some maintenance items etc..
After texting back and forth, he told me the wholesaler did not purchase the Yellow 08 cbr1000rr. So Mikey went ahead and fixed it up and he sent me a picture what the bike looks like now.
I was rather surprised, but hey, i do not know for sure if there was even a wholesaler to begin with. Or, Mikey's original plan was to fix it and sell it for profit. But I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
I then went on line and searched and found the ad on kijiji. And this is the reason for me posting this. For all the viewers out there to know how sketchy MikeyMoto is.
Originally, I was told by Mikey, the Pazzo levers on the bike are fake. But look at his ad (which he removed after my conversation with him). He also mentioned the bike will be used for parts and he will not sell it just because i called him out.
In his ad there is no mention of the bike been dropped, a different colour, frame repaired etc... The ad is as if the bike is all original and the best deal out there. This is false representation for a potential buyer. Something that I would not want to happen to me. Something that I do not want to happen to you.

I recently inquired about the bike and was told he got rid of it. So on line I go and I find this:

It turns out this is a different guy selling the bike. And yes it is the same bike. When asked, whom he bought it from, he could not tell me.
He first says, he bought the bike last year. Then he says he bought the bike early spring.
When asked, i was told the bike was not dropped but someone backed into the front wheel so it was replaced (lies lies lies).
He even told me the fairings on the bike is what the bike came with.
You be the judge, but it's clear this is a friend of MikeyMoto who is selling the bike for him.
For those interested, here's the VIN (JH2SC59438M000380)
This bike was originally from the US. It was high sided (take the top off and check the dent in the tank). Mikey would have seen this when replacing the tank fairing.
The frame was also repaired by the previous owner. Mikey pointed this out to me and so did the previous owner.
Sorry for the long post but you guys need to be aware of how dishonest MikeyMoto is.
Mikey, you messed with the wrong dude. **** just got real. This is just the beginning.
