If i put down a deposit now to secure an early delivery bike , and come launch day and test ride find the bike is not for me. Where do i stand on retrieving my deposit? Any expert advice out there?
deposit
- Thread starter bikewise
- Start date
Why not ask your dealer?
I did ask the dealer and he said yes, but he would when he is trying to get my money. I just wanted to know my rights in the unlikely event i do not gel with the r1200gs wc coming from a f800gs.

Me too
I wanted one without all of the bells & whistles. I opted for cruise and topbox. In Aus, we get heated grips, handgaurds and chrome muffler standard.
My dealer told me that this bilke would be unsaleable, so instead of $1000 deposit,I had to pay $5,000. I paid it rather than the extra $3600 they wanted for the ones they're bringing in. Delivery estimated in May.

The dealer has to agree the deposit is returnable subject to a test ride.
Until you sign an official order, the deposit is refundable, but once you've signed an official BMW order, you'll lose the deposit.

You should get your deposit money back under the consumer protection act !
Take the demo bike out for a ride then you make your mind but I can not see how it will be the deferents in the ride so look for a good reasonable excuse to yourself and not to the bikes fault
I am sure that you will love it and you will forget about deposit and everything else
Put down £500 deposit on the V Rod in 2005 ,purchase subject to test ride.Turned out to be a Royal Poo ( got an 1200RT instated ) I got my deposit back after the test ride... I had a little note/receipt ( paid by card just in case dealership went tits up, which it did a few years later) from the dealer ...
