Nothing matters much until they hit the shores over here and someone has to be the first to bring them in and test the market.It cant be done half way, meaning out of someones garage but a dealer has to do it so they can be utilized fully.(meaning street legal)
I feel the market here is very ready for a 350cc-400cc dualsport.

Parts wont be here in great numbers until sometime AFTER the products get here so its going to be a grin and bear time inbetween that.

It would be nice if whoever brings them in lets the insurance companies know about them to help us all get registered instead of them looking it up and not finding it then having to either fudge it in or tell us no they cant insure this unknown bike.

We all hit on great points. I think they might sell well if someone had everything in check as far as price, parts, and paperwork. The three P's.

I'd be happy with the 250cc but V-bikes is sold out. I feel confident with the bikes since seeing this site plus KCsukiman is from my neck of the woods and it would be nice to have someone nearby to help out even if I'd have to buy the beer.

The 3 Ps. I like that.

I would look into one if those were all hit. I am really leaning toward a scooter though and loss of my manlyhood.

The roketa 250 is sure a good looking scoot.

I wasn't aware that was possible :P

katoranger · 06-21-2008, 08:20 PM

Well my purse isn't real secure in the GY so I thought the under seat storage may be better.

Go all out and get it in full on loud, proud rainbow colors.

oh I wish all these toys had been around when I was a kid I'd of had a scooter then.
This is the closest thing I have to a "scooter".No purse pockets on it but it is sporting that purple bike lock.

I really like this and anyday I might blow a gasket and sign for one.

$5900

Full face helmet with a tinted shield. No one will know its me.

Actually I wouldn't be embarrassed with a big scoot. Wouldn't get on a 50cc.

TeamCheap · 06-21-2008, 10:57 PM

atleast the big scooters can get on down the road decently.

I want to be able to cruise at 60mph. I would get flatten on a 50cc.

TeamCheap · 06-21-2008, 11:08 PM

yeah that V-strom is supposed to move OK.

katoranger · 06-21-2008, 11:09 PM

Those look nice. But I have decided on my cc limit. 500. That way the kymco xciting 500 is within the limit.

DD someone has to do it first.(and someone will)
I agree that the power wont be close to the jap bikes but still a far cry better than the 200cc's (I'd hope)

When we got our bikes (hmm 3 years ago) there were very little parts out there for it, I mean I had to dig and dig but slowly it came around and now I dont really worry about parts at all.

:?: :!:
so is that every one wants :?:

just a far cry better than the 200 or 250, :?

i still dont believe the price will be cheap enough,
i've got the file on the 350 tandem container cost per bike $2000 .
hell if everyone wants this i'll put in an order, by the time my store is ready the container should be half way here.

my supplier on the 300cc said it will be ready for epa approval by end of august , but i say dont keep yur fingers crossed
and that is the one Tim at Vbike wants to get as well

TeamCheap · 06-22-2008, 01:38 AM

Well let me tell ya, if I can get one sent to my driveway for around $2400-$2600 I'd really consider it.

But I doubt they will be here before I buy something new and a bike I want is still available for a great price and I may just snatch it up soon.

iMoose · 06-22-2008, 02:59 AM

Whoever gets the big cc bikes cheaper, wins.

It's that simple.
