On our factory visit we saw finished engines being run on a test rig for several minutes, before being sent to the assembly line. The new bikes were also ridden on a rolling road in a sound proof cabin before being crated up. Still doesn't explain how a knackered bike got to the showroom, but it's not the first time faulty engines have cropped up. Several 620's were recalled for oversize cylinder bores and excessive oil consuption a few years ago.
