Bike Bandit belly up

[luftkoph]

 02.07.2022 Vey's Bandit LLC filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, case number 22-00294-CL7

I hope none of you have any parts and monies tied up with them, bandits indeed.

PS. Bike Bandit bought KTM Twins a few years ago, and according to most it really sucked after the buy.

Dear valued customer, due to extended delays with OEM suppliers and the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, most parts are being placed on backorder status. This delay is also having an effect on previous orders. We are doing everything we can to fulfill and ship in a timely manner while also updating our system to better address these delays, our customers’ needs and shopper experience.

Does that mean they're still taking orders?  If that's true, it's not going to go over well in bankruptcy court.

For OEM parts, I used https://www.servicehonda.com/ for the past 3 yrs. but I always shop for the best price including shipping. All suppliers use the same supply chain regardless but you would think being closer to the west coast prices would be cheaper but... Partzilla is 90% of the time higher on parts and shipping is higher plus slow as a turtle.

Wow! That sucks. I have ordered from KTM Twins a bunch of time and had a good sales experience. Had not ordered from them in awhile...over on another page, folks have been complaining about the back order issues with them as well as bikebandit.
