We bought two at the same time from an interent vendor sight unseen and got exactly the bikes pictured with zero problems getting the proper paperwork to register them for the road.
I did have a slight problem with mine and they replaced the part but I wasnt concerned as much with warranty as I was with parts availibility overall which at first was slim but now parts are much easier to get from various sources. |

Second hand - Unseen (Ebay, Craig's List, etc.)
That doesnt make sense to me.. I bought mine off Craigs list, and saw a picture of it on Craigs list. I than went out to the sellers home and test rode it. Made a deal with him for $350, shook hands, and a title came out of his pocket and money came out of mine. It was surely not an unseen deal. Craigs list should not be on there. I have voted twice, this way It is correctly reported. |

Maybe it's confusing but the way I see it is you saw the "second hand" (used) bike with your own eyeballs and took delivery (exchanged money for goods) from the seller "in person". This would be "Second hand - in person".

On my first bike I bought it from the dealer, 6 month warranty was up before I had really put any miles on it since I bought it at the start of winter...
The second bike I bought straight from the distributor but forfeited my warranty for a better price and assembled the bike myself. With the cheapness of parts, and the short duration of the warranty, I don't see a lot of need for it, unless the bike has issues out of the crate I think it should be good, granted things CAN go wrong, but nothing has on either of mine, and nothing major on my dads.

The warranty was not even a selling point for me. Have not needed it.

That's a good question and I don't have direct experience with ordering bikes for delivery. Other people may have a better idea, esp if they have used the same company.
When is the last time you called them? CC

Bought mine from an online dealer who went out of business shortly after. Looking back, I probably should've just bought some underwear or socks instead!

I bought mine from a local dealer with a 1 year parts warranty. The warranty paid off big-time since I developed tranny issues and he replaced the entire engine for no charge. Of course I had to install myself but not a big deal on these bikes.

As for how long to wait, 7 days. After that phones would begin ringing. You should always hear from them with 5 business days. |

So far so good. However, without the community of knowledge that is offered on Chinariders.net, my experience would not be as pleasant as it has been. NET
