These ones are straight from the factory. I doubt they are cheap replica's. But i'm not certain though so won't argue :p I'm sure they come with a guarantee too though!

Yeah, it's all well and good but where do the parts come from?

As you'll be buying it directly from a factory you might not get the same level as customer support as you do from a wholesaler. Plus, as you'll be importing it from China, although you'll save loads of cash, is it worth it for the time it takes to deliver parts from them? What if you try and fix it and break it, where do you send it? If you send it to a garage, they'll laugh and charge you loads. No point in sending it back to China as it'll cost you  about as much as the bike did. Plus, going to a wholesaler means they'll charge you loads and could even turn you away as you didn't buy it with them.

Just something to think about before you import a bike. Not trying to put you off but I used to work in retail so I know  little bit. You never know you might get lucky and find a garage or wholesaler that are more than willing to help you out.

I'm afraid i never went further than getting a booklet sent thru for what they have to offer. I have no idea what the policy is on repairs etc!!

Do u actually have a moto yet then Mazz? And what policy did u get for it?

No not yet. I'm waiting until I actually ride one before spending some money on one. Pointless me buying one then realising I can't ride it!!

(I sound like an old spoil sport don't I?! I'm not really, I'd love to race them but I get a little protective over money and safety)

I'm thinking of heading down to Lancing at some point and asking for a quick blast on one of the guys down there. Be good to practice without competition.

Anyone see that photo of a small child on a mini-moto in one of the mags a couple of months ago?  (Think it might have been Superbike.)

She had a pink suit and helmet (with Tweetie Pie on the front), flying along on a mini-moto, and cornering like Rossi.  Definite knee down, toe down, and almost elbow down.  She must have been all of four years old!  Awesome.

Oi!! Scared... me.... pah! You don't live with my sister! Fine, as soon as I get one, I'll challenge you to a small race around a track.

I haven't seen the video BD, would like to though!

Think Satan, Saddam and generally all things bad. Mix it with permenent PMT and you'll get the jist of it. She makes WWII look sane!

You'll have to wait for a bit though whilst I save my dosh. Need new lid and leathers and stuff. And I'm not making excuses either, we'll have that race.
