Whats It Really All About...
What is this pre-reg really about?
We have all heard about it, seen it in advertisments and sales pages, its been around in the whole of the automotive industry for a long time. So long in fact its a little like not wanting to ask whats really in that dish in your favourite resterant because you dont want to look foolish.
So here is a flavour of this now familiar phrase that you may want to get your teeth into, or not...
What does pre-registered mean? Put simply it means that a vehicle has been previously registered within the DVLA by a previous owner, which was the first V5 holder. Typically they have been registered under the dealerships name.
Now you may ask why would they do that? The reasoning behind this is for the most part very simple: Hitting sales targets, clearing stock and increasing brand awareness.
Whats in it for you? An opportunity to buy a brand new bike for a cheaper price, so technically this is a win-win situation.
The big question to ask yourself has to be, is pre-reg right for you?
Are You:
Looking for a new motorcycle on a budget, then pre-reg could be the perfect solution.
Wanting to get yourself a new bike at a reduced price, Pre-Reg offers that opportinity.
For clarity a pre-reg is not to be confused as a demo bike, which is typically used by customers wanting to test the bike and will come with a certain amount of mileage and wear.
A pre-reg will normally only have delivery mileage on the clock. However, it will be classed as a used bike.
The Pros:
You will save money, which we all enjoy.
Its still a new bike, as long as you dont mind not being the first name on the log book.
Availability, they are in stock so its a quick turn around and you can be riding in a very short time.
The Cons:
Warranty - A manufacturers warranty is applied to any new bike, including pre-registered. However, it begins from the date of registration, so depending on how long your new bike has been unsold the clock is counting down. The quicker you buy the longer the warranty.
Limited Model Availability - You shouldnt have a problem finding a pre-reg bike that suit your need from KJM - But you will need to be quick as at such great value they wont be around long and when they are gone they are gone.
What You See Is What You Get - Unlike new unregistered bikes on a web site pre-reg are real and only available in the colours and spec available, although we can look at dealer fit accessories for you. However if you just have to have that certain somthing thats not on the list, be it colour or specification we have lots of new unregistered bikes too, so just ask. We are sure with the stock we hold we will have the right bike for you.
In Summary: If you are looking for a new bike but dont want to pay new bike prices its definitely worth lookig at the range of pre registered bikes available from KJM Superbike Ltd.
