Breaking Point

been spot on for me. bought 3 bikes off them so far. dtr125, gs550 and a kx125 and they have been great. they even gave me a great trade in for the dtr against the kx.
bought parts from them and they helped me out with the best or cheapest options.
the dtr cut out a few times a few weeks after i got it and they said to take it back in and they would fix it, ended up being the petrol cap not breathing and they replaced it for free. they did the fork seals and even though i gave them the whole bike rather than just the forks cos it was an easy job they didnt charge me any extra.
cant fault them and will be buying any bikes i want in the future.
superb

I have bought quite a few bikes from them and will probably buy several more. Keep in mind that its a breakers not a shop you are dealing with! I have bought bikes from them that I then sold on for a profit — and thats was after paying for MOT and parts. To date I have had 2 CX500s, both of which made a reasonable profit, 3 125s that broke even — (I bought 2 and they gave me a third for spares) — all were as advertised. A Honda ⁴⁰⁰⁄₄ that was a lovely bike before me nephew wrote it off. All were bought as seen, and no-​one led me to believe they were other than what you see is what you get. So don’t buy a bike from them unless you know what you are buying (And know what you are doing), and like I said, it’s a breakers — what do you expect to find in a breakers? SCRAP!!!

They seem a genuinely friendly bunch but having handed over £1200 in cash for my first ever motorbike, i was left disappointed by Breaking Point.
Before taking ownership of the bike, I asked them if they could replace the tatty, old fork seals and install a better fitting bolt to the gear lever peg. They did neither. Regarding the fork seals, they said they didn’t see the point of replacing something that wasn’t broken. I’ve ordered some new seals and will be fitting them myself. For £6 I thought they could’ve replaced them as a goodwill gesture.
The bolt which was meant to be replaced came loose whilst I was riding home and as a result, the gear shifter peg fell off the bike. I therefore couldn’t change gear for the rest of my journey. I’ve since ordered a new peg and will also be fitting this myself.
It’s probably fair to say that ‘What you see is what you get’ with Breaking Point. In the end I got a motorbike for a reasonable price and the guys were friendly but didn’t do what I asked.

I have bought 2 bikes of Breaking Point over the last 3 years, both have been reasoable value for money, both entierly matched the descriptions on their website, my current bike has given me a years excellent service and passed it mot with nothing more that a set of fork seals and a rebuild of the front caliper which after a winter on Orkney is par for the course. The first bike I bought of them, which was bought over the phone without me ever seeing the bike– other than photos on breaking points website, was a delight and gave me 18 months of ridding pleasure. They bought this bike back off me and I believe the current owner is equally happy with it. I have also purchased a complete exhaust system for my dt125 for £55 and they have provided me with help and advice on several ocasions to hep keep friend bikes on the road. They are a bike breakers not a multi-​franchise main dealer but in my experiance they provide a good level of service. Run for bikers by bikers kinda sums the place up for me. Andy from Orkney

A breakers yard full of bits that are too orientated on making money. They are good for bits but they really should not try to sell running bikes!
They seem to take in the machines that cannot be got rid of anywhere else and then try to sell them at a normal value when they have usually been crashed or thrashed. One good point I will give them is that they can have some amazingly rare things in but unfortunately ruined. :(
I cannot trust these guys to tell me the truth from experience as they can never give a straight genuine answer.
Have been doubley ripped off from them and cannot trust them to work on anything after taking a bike (I had just bought from them) to be looked at and the problem that I specifically asked them to look at had not been touched. This resulted in a huge amount of inconvenience and unhappiness on my part.
The problem ended up partially severed wires that they had caught in a cover when putting it back together before I even bought it. Is it not common sense to ensure that wires do not get severed?
This place is very clique orientated ‘for the boys’ and many of the biker crowd seem to find it cool. I struggle to see why!
