What is a Bike Breaker?
Bike Breakers or motorcycle breakers is a common UK term used to describe
businesses that dismantle motorcycles to salvage spare parts. Whilst the
majority of bikes that are "broken" are sourced from insurance company disposal
auctions many are undamaged road bikes and some are even brand new and unused
vehicles. The cost of new spare parts for motorcycles makes this a viable
business because the price of the component parts of any bike can easily be 5 to
10 times the cost of buying a complete new machine.
Bike breakers come in various sizes and types and range from individuals working
from home to large companies established more than twenty years. Some motorcycle
breakers specialise in certain manufacturers or models but the majority will
break anything that they can sell enough parts from to make it viable.
Certain types of bike are more usually handled by specialist as they are a bit
more unusual, this is especially true of German and some Italian bikes.
Scooters, Motocross and trial bikes also fall into the specialist bike breakers
category and whilst these bikes are broken by some general bike breakers, we
have a number of Registered Motorcycle Breakers that only deal with these models
specifically.
In the dim and distant past the industry got a bit of a bad name for itself
because of concerns that breaking bikes was the simplest way to dispose of
stolen motorcycles. Nowadays most bikes are marked with some form of indelible
marking that allows all parts to be traced to the original vehicle. This has
forced motorcycle breakers to be far more cautious of where they buy stock. The
majority of breakers will not purchase individual parts as they are not
traceable, instead only buying complete bikes with all paperwork included.
