Bam!!!!

[STIGGY]

Hey all, after hours upon hours of stumbling down through the tinternet I came across this bike. Its being released in the uk on monday 24/7/6
I have seeked lots of good advice about this bike and now can u give me yours??

http://www.britishamericanmotorsports.com/

[Thumper]

they did a post with all the info on someware on here, reece can you find it for us

[STIGGY]

so is it worth getting then kids???

[inferno]

thumper its called search.

[thump*]

It looks gd for 375 the first bike

[LEEROY_UK]

Yeh the first one is ideal for a first bike imo

[full throtle]

I dont want to speak out of favour about BAM but are they for real !!???
just seen to many sites like this before offering quality parts very very cheap, Ive treid calling them for 2 days now and hey ***ody answers the phones !!!!! not great business practise for someone trying to get into the market...........and i bet if i get through ill be told "they'll be in shortly mate" or something like that and then the parts wont ever arrive.
I really do hope i am very wrong (just an old skeptic)
Has anybody actually been in contact with them or bought any parts yet??

[thump*]

No i haven't but im going to try. It reminds me of poweroffraod and the rampage. But i agree with full throtle it does seem quite wierd and the products are cheap

[full throtle]

Ive sent them an email asking about availablity of certain parts and yet no reply, also tried calling again many times again no answer.
ive searched for "ISL direct" and found nothing, so i am becoming more and more skeptical about it but i hope i am wrong.
ho hum
Alex

[full throtle]

[full throtle]

hi Stiggy.
that sounds cool, good to hear its coming through, just seen those sorts of sites before claiming good parts at knock down prices and the bits never materialise or there not what they first said they were.
As im interested in a few parts they have im pleased to hear that!

See ya

[BAM]

[Lewis_#101]

Also any wide rims avaible for them?

[full throtle]

HI there B.A.M
Im interested in a pair of your forks and would like to know how much they are as one part of the site says they are £200 and then another says £235, may just be a typing error........and do these forks come with suitable size bearings to fit the stearer stem and into chinease copy frame's headtube, also what side leg is the brake mount fitted and will it come with a new front brake.
Many thanks for any info you can give me.
Alex

[LEEROY_UK]

Lo Alex I think one price is without VAT and the other is with it

[ChrisT]

The forks are £235 with VAT. I have heard that you have to have different bearings at the stem for them to fit. And also mod ya wheel bearings too

[STIGGY]

hmmmm dunno what this company are playing at. In fear on not recieving goods am sposed to be picking up the bike in person tomorow (friday 28/07/06) but no-one are answering the phones or replying to emails.
nightmare

[Lewis_#101]

at the moment i dont trust them at all theres complaints on another forum that they dont answer i just treid them....no answer, have you paid yet?

[STIGGY]

nooooooooo pay on collection mate Im not stupid lol.
what are trickstar bikes like?
looks like i might need to start looking again hmmmmm
feckin shame as the bam is a classy bike.

Im also pretty sure that BAM and Inersia are the same bloke.

[BAM]

As advise our phonelines will be open from Tomorrow that is why there has been no answer.

Also all emails are answered within 24 hours, this is the service level that has been set and any emails not answered in 24 would be available for me to see.

Please let me know if you have sent an email and had no reply, it may be a glitch in the sytem i will have to sort out.


Stiggy i will chase up you emails as they are not showing, hopefully i will have sorted in next hour or so.

Sorry it just we are so busy at the moment with the new stock,

Normal business hours as from tomorrow

Sorry for any inconvieniance, it just that the information about outr site was leeked and we did not intend on anyone having this sales number untill we launched the site on Friday

Also Stiggy PM me you phone number and i will get someone to call if you are unsure about your arangements for tomorrow

[STIGGY]

I had emailed in reply to you. You told me that I can pick the bike up in person from a contact in windsor. I have found that YOU are the guy in windsor so a little bit of straight talking wouldnt go a miss?
Also I pmed you earlier with my phone no. and still no joy.
Shocking really with the amount you promise.
Im sorry but stop promising me things and then dont follow them up. Also why are you on here under the name of "BAM" when you are the guy from "inersia" ??

Sorry i dont understand,

I did pass on your number, i thought i was helping you out

I am the web manager for BAM,

We do have a contact in windsor that you can collect the bikes from but i can assure you it is not me. It is also where inersia is based.

I dont aprieciate your tone especially as i went out of my way after i had finished work to make sure they had your phone number.

If you have any further issues i suggest you email BAM direct

[STIGGY]

Have been called by a guy "Paul" that I think you passed my number onto.
It's him thats your contact and that I will be collecting the bike from.
Many thanks

[ChrisT]

Calm down ladies, dont turn this into an argument. Am sure there just a misunderstanding along the lines. I dont think BAM is doing it on a purpose as of so far there is quite a few people interested in stuff he has so I expect he is quite busy at times. Hope it comes together ok

[STIGGY]

yes the guy had explained that they are hectic as they are setting it all up.
A few peeps have told me that im being messed around and it was just getting frustrating not getting any kind of response. Im sure on tuesday i will be posting on here saying how classy bam and inersia are.....

[Lewis_#101]

Sorry i dont understand,


I am the web manager for BAM,


So if your "web manager" why do you handle sales promotion, maybe instead of getting into arguments keep to low key for the minute as all your doing is giving your self bad rep not only hear on another forum aswell.

[ChrisT]

BAM you say on the website you give a 12 month warranty on the engine. Is there any 'small print' to this. Cos if there isnt I may be very interested in buying the BBR frame style bike as it does look pretty well built but I have never experienced that engine before

[Lewis_#101]

No way, how can a 12 month warrenty be valid?

there be bust within first month

[ChrisT]

Well it says 12 month warranty on the engine. Lets see what he has to say

[STIGGY]

this is my point. i was very friendly and eager to buy.
It's not me thats been off. I just want a bike and not to keep being palmed off.

[LEEROY_UK]

Look guys give BAM a chance ,There new and have a lot of stuff to be sorting out setting up a buisness of this kind.
Just hold fire on your misconceptions till they are proved otherwise,
I have heard of ***ody as yet being had over by them and if they say the motor has a 12 month warrenty then i should think it would say so on your sales reciept.
I think BAM have done a good job in repying to your questions considering the flack some members have been giving them.
If there are delays then its to be expected as customs can delay deivery of shipments for upto 2 weeks until they proccess and inspect containers.
Id undestand if you all had handed over your cash but you havent so how can they be blagging you.
So stop trolling guys and see what BAM come up with.If they dont come up with the goods youve payed for then thats a different matter and then start slating them by all means!

[STIGGY]

I see ya point lee mate but the company is inersia and have sold over 1000 bikes over the last 3 / 4 years.
Its new stock, not a new company.
All I asked for was a little helpful communication. Besides. I spoke to one of the guy "Paul" and he was dead helpful and am hopefully going up 2 meet him on tuesday!. wahoo!!
like i said. i bet next week im praising them no end.

[full throtle]

Hello again B.A.M, still would like some info regarding your forks, i posted on here a few days ago but no answers yet.
its regarding the fitting of the stem to a chinease copy frame, 1. do i need to modify the stem/bearing etc. 2. will this kit come with a brake or will i have to find a brake to fit the left leg as mine is on the right fork leg.PLEASE let me know.

I know of another very good place on the net that sells this fork kit with the correct bearings and a complete brake kit for just £299.with no V.A.T and next day delivery...........sounds like a bargain to me!!!!!!!!!!! (pm for web address, if thats ok mod?)

Also if your showing prices that are going to carry V.A.T it is a legal requirment to state this in any advertising, not just add it on later "£200 plus V.A.T" would make it more understandable for the layman. Also all advertising MUST carry your V.A.T number!! if you are registered for V.A.T.
just my 2 cents worth not a dig at you B.A.M think youve had enough of that!!
Anyway any ifo would be helpfull.

Nice one Stiggy.

[Lewis_#101]

[Danny08]

[STIGGY]

very sturdy frame with decent welds. Fooking nice tread on the rear wheel.
Gonna have to do the usual change of chink oil and plug. probs the chain too.

We only advertise the dsx pro and dbr pro with start in any gear as they have the 127.1cc engine.

The DSX 125 uses a 54x54 engine setup to keep within the 125cc restricted races. The only compromise on this engine is that it is not start in any gear. But will the all up transmission its has not caused a problem as its easy to get into neutral.

This engine still however has the monster valve head, and pushes just under 8.5hp on our dyno, which is more than the standard lifan 120cc big valve engines that you will find elsewhere

[BLONDIE_UK]

Sounds to me that the B.A.M DSX 125 is an excellent assured bike, thanks for the information on your response STIGGY, it has made me more confident in buying one :You_Rock_Emoticon:
Hopefully next week sometime I will be on my way to Windsor collecting one myself! :D :D

[STIGGY]

kkk DONT buy one.
company are pants. bits of the bike are good.
the whole exhaust is a joke!!
i give up

[Bromy2000]

What problems have you had Stiggy?
Looks like im going to have to buy myself a new stator and hope that gets mine started shouldn't be like this when you spend £840

Well my first expierence with pit bikes has been shocking wish i hadn't bothered.

[likely lad]

alrite guys how much is the dsx pro 125, because i see two prices :confused: :confused: :confused:

[Bromy2000]

The one is without VAT most probably

[likely lad]

yeah your probs right thanks :)

[STIGGY]

[likely lad]
