Venom Motorsports - my mixed experience thus far

BB_Mike · Today, 05:01 PM

DF125RTS, 125cc, Venom X22.

Order placed August 5th in the morning.
Order received to Alabama on August 16th afternoon (Friday).

Shipping packaging was great. The metal cage that it comes in is a huge plus. It passed bill of landing inspection.

Issue 1: The top most inner spot on the faring is cracked on each side. Black paint, with white plastic inside makes the crack stand out. This was not a shipping issue. This is an assembly issue as this area is under foam wrap that was not damaged at all.

Issue 2: The motorcycle will cut off while riding at random. more on that in this link here: https://www.chinariders.net/showthre...467#post411467

Issue 3: I ordered the carbon fiber (fake) exhaust thinking it was a kit meant specifically for this bike to reduce the risk of fitment from a generic muffler. $100. It is the same muffler you can get on Amazon for $35.

August 19th (Monday). I call Venom Motorsports. I get passed on to "tech support". She asks me to send her an email with the details and pictures. I do that right away. I get a reply that same day saying they are looking into it.

August 21st (Wednesday). I get an email saying they are still looking in to it.

August 23 (Friday). no further correspondences yet.

I will update as time goes by.

So far, I have the bike working and running well enough. No regrets so far other than wishing I had the blue version that is offered by the competitors. They look so much cooler, but the reviews are just so awful about title work and bikes not showing up.
