Someone brought this up on advrider due to the same ad. Someone mentioned that the oil change interval is only 600 miles! My guess is for warranty purposes. My only concern is that this bike, and others in the Lance lineup, is probably geared more towards people who DON'T change their own oil, so I can imagine it would get expensive (assuming the same people are working and going to school--i.e. young adults).

BTW, SYM is a Taiwanese company, but Lance is manufactured in China (probably more of a joint venture, so has higher quality controls). I do remember Lance offering GY 200 enduros among other products a few years back, if they were the same company.

Me? I would stick with the TaoTao BWS 150 or the one like 'ghcoe' has for well under 1/2 the price. And I would probably change my OWN oil every 600 miles (like I do on my enduro).
