What is the general take on these bikes?

[Dragon]

I would have called my credit card company and asked 'em to not disburse the fund to this guy until an MSO is received.

Hello Daniel,

Thanks for the VIN number. I will create your bill of sale
and attach it to my reply email.

Yes, you will receive your MSO in the mail shortly.

Just take the MSO and Bill of Sale to your DMV to register.

Thanks again,

Gordon.

Hello Daniel,

Sorry for the unforseen brief delay while fresh stocks arrived, but your bike
has been shipped and you should receive it late this week.

I am expecting to receive tracking details from our shippers tomorrow
and I will forward them to your email address as soon as I receive them.

When you receive your bike, could you please find the VIN number on the frame,
and email it to me please, and I will create a Bill of Sale for you and email it to you.

You should get a phone call from the trucking co. prior to delivery.

Could you please let me know whenever your bike arrives.

Sorry again for the brief delay Daniel, and I am sure you will enjoy your new bike

Thanks again,

Gordon.

Sorry Hancadam!!!

I was not trying to hijack your thread, Im just pissed at the way we as cunsumers are treated reguarding these bikes.........

There seems to be more bad then good...... :x

[Hancadam]

No problem at all. All this info helps me out also.

I googled Gordon Whittet, and found he is the owner/manager of a couple of websites that sell china bikes. He doesn't seem to show any phone numbers or business address on any of his websites. That is a bad sign. I also found the following report of a pissed-off customer. Gordon actually replied to the website to rebut the complaint. I noticed in that rebuttal Gordon indicates he is in New Zealand. :?

Also consider the possible bikes DesertDog might import a container of:
XTM 300cc Enduro, and he sent me an e-mail about a 350cc bike too!

Any idea how long DD? And what particular bike are you going to be getting?
I think I want another, but would MUCH rather purchase from a known, reliable source than some website.

[DesertDog]

not sure anymore, financing is hard to come by when your just startin out

the lenders frown on off road financing,

but be patient someone is out there that will purchase a container of these,
the cost will be to high tho and everyone will just purchase a used jap bike

Sorry to hear you're having problems with it. Maybe a pre-order deal?? Put one together for people from the site and get a head count for how many bikes can be ordered at once.

Just throwing ideas out there.

[DesertDog]

wood like to do that but you just cant order one , a mixed container you can,

i dont have the reputation that some of these dealers have on here to order a container,

i made that mistake once , i still have 10 units of last year models sitting at home , thought everybody here in my town wanted'em or off my web, which is still down,

i've only had 3 step up to the plate here that wanted that 300, i cant order just 3 and a mixed container of everything else that wont sell

What are the 10 you still have?

It was just a suggestion, I can't imagine that we can't get 10 people right off the bat to go ahead and pre-order one, but I may be wrong.

Hows that saying go.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained :!:


Right now we are tightening up on our spending since I have gone crazy lately and it is time to slow it down.
So as interesting as a 300cc is I wouldnt buy one right now and actually my hope is to get a drz400 as my next toy purchase unless the 300cc is right around $1800-2100 STMH.
