From a market perspective, this is less a demand problem than a cash-flow and inventory one. A major used-bike dealer runs on carrying enormous stock, and once turnover slows, trouble hits fast.

Probably going to affect the used market, if a big player dumps all their inventory at once prices could crash.

Sudden shutdown, wonder what happens to the inventory and customers' bikes left with them.

Bikes left on consignment belong to individuals, right? Do those get caught up in it too?

I know SuperBike Factory, remember seeing their ads in videos a lot.

Given how well-known they were, the impact of going under is pretty huge too.

An £83 million company shutting down same-day, cash flow must have been in real trouble.
