hey guys, wanna ask, what to do.

i signed a finance deal for brand new bike on SAT in kawi dealer, but the bike wasn't put together yet at that moment, i was supposed to pick it up today. by noon, bike was ready, but i wanted to pick it up in the evening and when i showed up, associate told me, they dropped it, handlebar got bent, they had to fix it and it would be ready tomorrow. can you belive it???

i thought, it wouldn't happen without a trouble, but that they would drop it? i've got no idea, what to do now, what are my rights, i guess nobody wants brand new dropped bike. i don't truste them anymore and as a newbie, i'll never now, what happened, what they really fixed, how much they really screwedme up...

any ideas, experience, how to deal with that? i guess i cannot cancel the finance deal, can i?

what if someone was riding it, how many miles should i expect on brand new bike?

You can expect any newly assembled bike to be ridden before being handed over to the customer. This is so an expert can check the operation of the engine, clutch, transmission, suspension, and other systems. Your error was in buying a bike before it was assembled and tested, before you had ridden it yourself in fact. The shop, however, is liable for any damage done to any customers bike while it's in their custody. They have to satisfy you.
