im kinda leaning towards one of the gio bikes maybe...does any one know how the auctions work.. due you get the bike for the final bid price + shipping and auction fee????

FastDoc · 12-21-2010, 03:55 PM

I don't think they will ship bikes to America.

simonw · 12-21-2010, 03:57 PM

420. if you win the auction, you pay the bid price plus shipping plus auction fee. auction fee is either a minimum of ??? or 5% of final bid price.
definitely check the web site for detail especially shipping. the gio are being shipped out of Vancouver, British Columbia.
with $1200 i would consider an older Jap like someone already suggested xr200 or ??. if you are firm on Chinese, look at a Konker/Pister Pro(higher end). I think i have seen then in your range.

yeah they ship to America for bout 220
