For Sale Ebay Bikes

It could be the bike was bought by their business and they declared it as a business asset and recovered the vat on the purchase price. Now the business is selling it it has to levy vat on on the ex vat sale price in full.

If it was a business asset there is no ‘profit’ when they sell it unless they sell it for more than its tax written down value but that’s a corporation tax thing not a vat thing.

 

Looking at the poster’s other listings, it looks like he’s a used vehicle trader. Not sure why a Hypermotard would be bought as a business asset but I’ve had a wrist slap so won’t speculate. Andy

 

I bought my first Ducati as a business asset. The company paid for it, recovered the vat and then when it was sold had to hand the vat on the sales price over to HMRC.

Vans & motorcycles can be bought as business assets and be fully vat deductible, cars not so, even company cars.

Worth a punt or could be too much agro ….

Agree worth a punt, if cheap enough

 

Certainly worth a punt, lovely wheels and fully floating discs (wheels might need stripping and inspection, and disc carriers can wear, so could be rocking horse poo or possibly scrap ), but doesn’t have underslung rear calliper which it should, but has oil temp gauge, which a Mk 1 shouldn’t, as these only appeared around 1995, so possibly a bit of a mongrel.

Interesting to see what it goes for!

 

Good point(s) also just noticed doesn’t have the top hat breather on the tank, much newer version.

Considering all of that not sure I’d part with much more than current bid..

 

Not sure if this was already posted…

Oh dear, a parts bin Frankenstein, lovingly built for/by someone for whom money was no object. Andy

 

Comes with a ground down clutch lever for 34 grand.

 

Can’t fault the seller’s optimism, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/27705604...K9lXzgX20KDSp2tevrppke6HCW|tkp:Bk9SR4iN8NvLZQ but probably going to be very disappointed with the final outcome. Andy

 

Burnt orange and the number 9 might appeal to someone?

 

Is that the same one that was for sale a while ago with really crappy pictures?

 

What's with the chewing gum in the frame on pic #6, and who stole the clutch cover (same pic)?

 

That’s probably that new fangled structural chewing gum

 

Cat C in 2010 748

If the year is correct, it’s a 748E Biposta with aftermarket bits, probably replacing the OE parts that got damaged when it went down the road. The Marchesinis are a good upgrade and the stainless end cans might be ‘not for road use’ so a small percentage gain with the correct eprom. Not loving the mono conversion. Andy
