Went in to inquire about selling my bike. After taking it for a test ride they told me that because the tacho was sticking the bike was dangerous (how can they sell CB125s if no tacho is dangerous?) and it would require $1000 in parts and labour to fix, so they took $800 off their offer. Instead I went home and fixed it for $0 and 25 minutes of my time (a screw was loose). Team Moto will take you for a ride, but not the kind you're expecting.

EDIT: They called me about this review, in the interests of fairness summarized here. TM position is that because the tacho wasn't working, they quoted based on what they deemed was the cost to fix. My opinion is that determining that without price actually doing a mechanical inspection is unreasonable. If a car isn't starting, you don't (or shouldn't) charge for a new engine without checking the battery isn't flat first.
