Just not worth it - look at other brands

Just not worth it.

We have bought two XL150's for our business. The first one was stolen after 2.5 days.

We had the second one for around two months before it overheated and seized.

This was at the beginning of April. After they tried a few different angles to blame the failure on us, they eventually agreed to cover the repairs under warranty. Their angles of blame included us hitting a pothole and damaging the engine. It goes really awkward for them when they could not show a shred of evidence to support this. It seems it was just a first line of defense to see if they could get out of a warranty claim.

Now more than a month later we still don't have our bike. It's taking ages for them to get parts and get the repair done. We've now been told the bike it being taken away from the Sandton branch, to another branch that can do this repair. It's a very basic bike - I cannot understand what is so complicated.

We bought Hondas because of their "good" warranty over Suzuki and the other competitors but with the costs of having a driver off the road for over a month, plus the courier fees we've had to pay to do the work use used to do on the bike, we could have just both a Suzuki cash.

From the other reviews I have seen about Honda Motorcycles on HP, it seems we are not alone.

We are so disappointed. We will not be building our fleet with Hondas.
