The law in the UK for a private sale is "Caveat Emptor" - Buyer Beware.
He is stuck with it and you can keep your cash.

That is why I prefer to buy brand new bikes. You get a warranty on them. I have ridden bikes for 37 years and sometimes trouble just pops up out of nowhere. Also if you are a typical average rider that rides only about 3 to 5 thousand miles a year and this Man is a heaver rider, He will be more aware of problems than you could. either way he had a chance to look at it and a deal is a deal. You owe him nothing. If you take the bike back you are running a chance of it being okay when you sold it and he tore it up and now wants to stick you with a bike he trashed.

Well, when you buy automobiles from an individual, it is completely an AS IS purchase. The lemon law does not apply to you, only to lic. auto dealers. I would tell him that you've already sent the reg. title off with the new change and there's nothing more you can do. And then I'd tell this person that you really hope they enjoy the bike. You're not liable to do anything else. All sales were final when they purchased the bike.

If the buyer tested the bike and did not complain when he paid, you do not have to pay-back, but if you really think that the machine was in good working condition, and this can cause you a problem, get an advise from a lawyer, or go to Judge Judy tv program for help.

You sold it in good faith. Yes? He had the opportunity of inspecting it before he bought it. You don't say if you had a service history to hand to him which would be good.
Under the circumstances the contract is made and done he owns the bike and if at the time the contract was made it matched the description you gave then there is no come back

think of roughly it this way. If he had a case, so could the guy that buys a $a hundred junker that would not run. you need to no longer sell a automobile except it have been suited or perhaps then who's to declare that the tranny did no longer pass out because of fact of abuse... you need to on no account sense accountable that he has this challenge. He had an possibility to learn the automobile over till now procuring and that's all you're able to do whilst procuring used. you're no longer a guaranty company. Used autos are assumed to be bought as-is except otherwise reported in writing. something pronounced till now or throughout sale is hear say and actually contains little weight in courtroom. you haven't any longer something to rigidity approximately and are interior the excellent to enable him manage his challenge. reliable success

As you "sold it as seen" , you have no concerns. If you are happy that the motorcycle worked ok before you sold it that should be good enough. The guy who bought it from you is not entitled to any money back and he should realise that if he was told or was made aware that the bike was "sold as seen". good luck!!

no you don't have to take it back. He should of looked over and started the engine,operated every thing; I didn't say anything about a test ride,this not a good idea anyway. Think he had a change of heart not understanding he has a new way of life to deal with. Most likely he is putting low grade gas in it not getting a clean burn to obtain max horsepower.

Buyer beware in any event he made the deal and I presume test drove the bike. It is his problem.
The deal is done as they say. If it is a new bike perhaps he has come off it and is trying it on

Providing you have not said anything untrue about the bike, or misrepresented the facts then the buyer is stuck. If you advertised the bike in "good running order" or said to him it was such then he might have a case under the Misrepresentation Act.
As other have said "buyer beware".
