James, I worked with you during your time at SBF and I think you’ve been very lenient in your video. They were far worse.

Any motorcycle company that goes bust in July……is run by idiots, plain and simple!

The way their Autotrader advert descriptions had no details about the bike other than a single colour but a wall of words about finance was a red flag. They couldn’t even be bothered to tell you whether it had heated grips or not so I ended up simply ignoring all SBF adverts.

CEO wants to run an automated factory not a sales dealership, while boardroom thought they were running a call centre.

Well said James, it's nice to know there are people in the industry who still have integrity. Good luck for your future.

Went in a couple of years ago, with a budget of 18k, they didn’t want to know me because I didn’t want finance, so glad I walked away, the Mac branch is local to me, and to be honest, the bikes in there were not in great condition, not surprised they’ve gone bust at all<br>Feel sorry for the staff though

The sales staff successfully talked me out of two purchases. I will not be alone…

Unfortunately this staff revolving door is now normal in the UK. I have had it done to myself a few times. The funny thing is I had previously run companies and the training in the companies I joined was dreadful with people who were basically just excel spreadsheet watchers being termed as Managers with absolutely no experience of being one ...

In 2023 they were bought by Enact, a private equity firm. So it's just followed the typical pattern of private equity owned companies.
