Is TX PowerSports, and Arlington PowerSports the same business?
I have already made up my mind that I am going to get another bike, and I would buy a Templar X , but from what I have gathered, there is some risk of not being able to register them, because,from what I understand ,they are technically off road bikes. I can buy a 2003 DRZ400 S version with just over 16,000 miles, for $3,000, and it's listed as having new tires, but from the pictures they don't look as agressive as I would like. I talked to the guy, and he was talking about something being out of wack with the forks, or handlebars, or something, I really didn't understand how he was describing it. He said it doesn't really affect the bike. He lives in Marietta Ohio, which is about 50 miles up Interstate 77 from me, and while I would love to have a DRZ400, I don't really know how many miles before one can expect to start replacing clutches, and stators, and sprockets, I know they have a good reputation, but I have also seen somewhere that they have cam, or timing chain issues, but I don't know. Do you think that a new Lifan KPX, or for about the same price the DRZ is a better choice. MotoCheeze did a video the other day, and they are selling for $2899, at TX PowerSports. I think he said something about using a MotoCheeze code to save another $25.00, or $50.00.

Who is Manny, and what did he do ?
Any opinions on which bike, the DRZ400 with a little over 16,000, or the Lifan KPX? |

Do you mean sends a cheaper model bike?, or no bike at all? Any bike I buy, I need to be able to get registered. Does he not send the proper paperwork?

This is the DRZ. I talked to the guy on the phone, and said I hated to negotiate price on the phone, but since he put obo, I asked what he was thinking, and he said $3,000. https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/i...6899890715374/ Here is the KLR, which is possibly a better deal. I know that I could get it for $3,000, or a little less.https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/i...14/?ref=search |

I used PayPal. I think it's the same guy. Cheaper than anywhere else. He kept stalling over a month after the sale. I made a complaint to PayPal and got my money back. I paid a little more and bought one just down the road in Florida already put together.

I actually bought my Magician before I was on this site. I bought it from Texaspowersports with no problems, and they sent me a head gasket to replace the one that was on mine originally that leaked. Would I do it again? Probably not with others available that seem better.
