Update #2
Just now getting it off the frame, managed to get the front tires on and so far so good. The plastic for the front fork came a little warped from heat or something. A few bolts have been found loose, so check everything. Another thing I stripped the bolt to the rear plastic, and that holds the seat down. Just going to drill it out, and put a new bolt and a locknut & that should hold up for now. No sign of scratches, dents, or rust. (Inside of the gas tank is spotless.) Also it comes with a key! Haven't put fuel in but the starter works just fine.

Very NICE! I've always liked those Apollo's they have been around for a good while. Who makes the engine? I think thats cool that those are sold through AMAZON, its an extra level of protection for the buyer. Let me go look and see if any other China Bikes are sold on there. Anyway nice bike. Take your time on assembly don't be in a hurry, a little more time now will pay off in the end. Keep the pics coming.

Update #3
Well good new, we finished assembling it and I got to ride it today! Charged the battery over night and the electric start works beautifully. The Kickstart does work I tested it out. Keep in mind that this is a full size dirt bike. I'm 6' and I can barley touch the ground while I'm riding it. It has some good pep to it, and starts right up no problem. Smooth clutch, and nice disk brakes. Can't really complain too much. I hit some pretty hard trails, and some really steep hills that looked questionable even on an atv. Here's some pictures!

Yeah I saw the bike I want on Amazon, but its out of stock. Anyway feel free to start a thread in dealer discussion and tell us about the buying process, the seller, shipping time, etc. With so many shady dealers that section of this forum is a great resource. And Congrats on getting her up and going. Keep us posted on how it does. I don't think you will have much trouble out of it. That one seems to be a good one!

Love the black inverted forks! It also looks like you got a stainless header, which is really good news. Nice bike!
