As to your TT statement, I would have to ask you this.

When was TT members ever known for their Good Manners, that's all I have to say.

This isn't TT so I expect I higher level of civility. If you can't abide buy such simple requirements then perhaps you should go elsewhere.

Wow, at one point, we were all in the same boat as "outsiders" riding Pep-Boys bikes (at least that is what they accused us of riding on TT) and now we are in-fighting! I must say it makes for some exciting reading, but I will tilt towards the side of "let's keep this civil."

So it's OK to call someone a Liar or put them down as long as you do it with Civility, that's good.

Perhaps you're right, you Ladies with your Coffee Klatch ethics is way to Civilized and well Mannered for me.

Was this thread started with the purpose of a flame war? Or are you going to fill everyone in on the "deal" you claim to have found? I'm interested and I'm sure others are as well. We're all here to share info and help each other out, thats the purpose of web forums. I'm sure you've found usefull info on here from others, it would be nice if you would return the favor.

Ideally, this IS the case. Unfortunately, however, some insecure people feel they gain power by withholding information. Kinda like a "I know something you don't know" comment that a 4th grader would make. There are lots of China bikes avaliable for around $1000.00 delivered right to your door. This is no big secret. They all have the same basic features and some have little extra trinkets that others don't. The JetMoto looks like a decent bike, but has nothing over my Roketa that was shipped to my door for $1049.00.

ambassador · 05-15-2007, 05:17 PM

It is a nice looking bike and I considered buying one off E-bay as I saw winning bids at $600 to $700 bucks and $99 for shipping... It looks much better without the Alpine stickers on it...

madmaximum · 05-15-2007, 05:44 PM

The good thing for us Roketa riders is that the Jetmotos are almost identical, & you can order parts directly from jetmotousa. They even have them in stock!

TeamCheap · 05-15-2007, 06:49 PM

So after wading thru the crap I still just simply want to know WHATS THE DEAL ON THE $1000 JETMOTO.

deputygene · 05-15-2007, 08:03 PM

Ok, it's a newer model than my Tank and has the inverted forks, but besides that, and the different color, I think it looks just like my Tank. Bet the rear fender would have worked when I was looking for one. Oh yeah, My Tank also has the Zong shen motor. Still a good price.

culcune · 05-15-2007, 08:31 PM

My guess is that its kinda like their Alpine model that appears on Ebay (and that I purchased directly from them last year). Alpine is another "brand" that Jetmoto produces for their east coast distributor, Raceway. I am not sure if the relationship is still there, so maybe this is how Jetmoto sells "discounted" bikes w/o their dealer network know about it (just like how Alpines were/are identical in features as the premium-priced Jetmotos)

BTW, I saw your ad for this bike on Craigslist for the Phoenix area, advt. If we could work out a deal, I wonder how well it would make it to Yuma...

ambassador · 05-15-2007, 11:02 PM

Hey Culcune,
My original post was refering to YOUR Jetmoto and how you were going to video tape your blasting it with a 9mm, I'd pay to see that... I guess some people can't take a joke...

ambassador · 05-15-2007, 11:16 PM

I had a bid on that same bike through Motoxtremes from E-bay, I was at work when the bid ended, it sold for $610+$99 shipping (Sorry been so long I had to look it up..) I've researched and read these forums several times over before I bought my GY and still do... This site is AWSOME and a great bunch of guys, go back to TT, your an A$$ there too..

Me, not take a joke?

I honestly missed what you said, but now that I read it, it was funny. Oh, it was a 7.62 x 39, BTW :wink: No bullet holes yet, but my finger itches..........

I don't think all china bikes look the same! Does that mean, I don't have limited intelligence?

This is a great board. Let's keep it that way. Can't we all play nice!

Hey culcane,
I'm into AKs. Ever see an AK-74 that shoots the 5,45X39mm? It's Russian too! Of couse, I have a Chinese AK-47 too. PM me sometime.
