The bike you will get from ether dealer is as pictured in powersports max, with the possible exception of the frame color on the red, green, blue bikes. I have seen some of the colored bikes with the black frame not red. When I was looking at buying mine I was getting frustrated by all the different stock photos that each dealer seem to have. Call Jason at OrionPowersports. Ask some questions. I have bought two bikes from him in the past few months. He works directly with Apollo, has good parts inventory, and has an actual store. My buddy bought his Apollo 250 from motomaxus (prior to teriffs), and had a good experience. I tried to buy from them, but the shipping charge to California would have made the bike more expensive than buying it from powersportsmax including tax & registration. I have purchased my Apollo 250rx from powersportsmax, but only because I was not familiar with the registration process in California. If I could do it again, I would buy the bike from Jason. https://www.orionpowersports.com/apo...embled-tested/ The only thing you may want to replace is the Carb, and maybe the sprockets/chain. I left my front sprocket alone, and changed out the rear sprocket to a 52t. I think a 48T would fit a little better. If you change the sprocket you will need to get a new chain. I have the dimensions of the sprocket, and a vendor that can make the rear sprocket if needed. The sprocket will cost about 85 bucks shipped. The engines that come in the Apollo 250 will be the same no matter which dealer you buy from. They are registered with the EPA, and California ARB with a specific engine/engine family. Consider is this, If these bike are more expensive for the dealer to buy they are going to do a couple things. They will charge more for the bike, or have a separate charge for the tariff/shipping. One way or another we as the consumer are going to pay this. I have seen few websites showing bike prices going up a lot. There are a few dealers that have not made the adjustment, but I would think by the end of the year most of the prices would reflect the new teriff charges. I bought a coolster 125 ATV in February for 912.00, and now the same dealer is selling it for 1249.00 Last edited by Douglass; 07-10-2018 at 06:01 PM. |
