Cheap Mail Order Bike . . . Latest News!

Post by Old Grinner »

Saw this and was amazed . . .. An Amazon mail order street bike? Could it possibly be? o_O

Notice the video was just done with today's date. :geek:

Enjoy. :D

SRK Cycle has done a lot of bike reviews. This one is unusual. They also did a mail order dirt bike recentlyl. Only $1,400 and it ran quite well.

The street bike in this video was around $2,400 delivered. Yes . . . delivered. 8)

What . . . no controversy? :lol:

I thought for sure someone would question things like "how to I get parts if something breaks?" or "where and how do they drop it off when it arrives?" or "is it really environmentally approved so I can get it registered?" or "does it come with fries and onion rings?". :? :roll: :|

I would think there would be other legitimate questions as well but it seems if you get a "good one" and the "documents arrive" and you "can fit on it" and "everything is good for go" then for not so much money you can get something bigger than a MOPED to move you around for a while in the flow of traffic.

That said I think it's always best to do your homework before you buy anything. We live in a global economy and the landscape keeps changing all the time.

A bad day of riding is better than a good day of work . . .. Or was it fishing? :roll: :lol: 8)

It's only 35 F. but I'm going out on the 125 for a few miles. It beats work. :D

I would have to say that if that is all you can afford, then you had better be a good mechanic. They run until they don't. Then you have to find out why it stopped and where to get parts.
Simply put, just like with cars, people want to know where to get it fixed when it breaks, ...and most people want to know this before they buy.

Its a basic 200cc single cylinder motorcycle.
Any competent bike mechanic will be able to fix it.
Here in the UK it can be easier and quicker to get parts for Chinese bikes than most other bikes.
I've had to wait weeks for Honda parts, longest wait for a part from CMPO was three days and that was over a weekend.

A bike I have my eye on is the new Lexmoto Vendetta.
It's available elsewhere as an Italjet Buccaneer and Sinnis had previously flirted with importing it.
The Lexmoto has a much funkier stainless exhaust than the Italjet.
I think this is one of the best looking bikes available in the UK right now.
Could be tempted by a used one a year from now.....
