You guys see this bike? It has EPA and is a 400cc liquid cooled bike. I like the looks. I have sent off to see what pricing is. |

that bike's been mentioned a few times here before, nobody seems to know much info about it, it basically comes down to how much it costs?
i'm interested to see what price they quote you... |

That one looks better than the one we saw about 6 months ago.
Liquid cooled and a full frame. Allen

I'll let you know what I find out. I have an importer that I have worked with in the past importing tractors, implements, trail bikes and log splitters and if the price is right maybe I can get him to do a pre-order and we can do a group buy or something.

I'd like that bike real well if they can keep it under $2100.00 in the crate.

Price is almost as important to me as being able to get it streetable.
Without the proper paperwork to get it on the road it will be useless to me as well as most everyone else. I'd bet the price is going to be close to or over 3K and at that point I wouldnt look twice at it but we'll just have to wait and see. :wink: |

I think I would be down for one of these myself! Looks like a solid bike. Nice styling too.

Actually it looks like more of the same to me and if the price isnt right then I'll just get the drz400s if I havnt bought something else by then like the SV650 we seen last weekend.
Doubling the CC's doesnt equate to doubling the price, for me atleast and my hope is that they keep it reasonable.. |

Ok guys, you ready for this? Price quoted is $1805USD FOB. Let me do some more digging and figure out shipping cost and see if we can get this price lower, I am betting we can. Very interesting.... :twisted:

Thanks for the info. $1800 is a good price to me. Count me in although I got to reading the sales info on the bikes website and it looks like we need a dealer here in the states to buy a 20' container of these bikes. I'll e-mail Tim at V-bikes and let him know I'm interested in these bikes. He is completely out of stock on both the 200cc and 250cc enduros so maybe he could get a container of these 400cc bikes. Thanks for the info. I like a full frame bike. Don't care much for the inverted forks, rear wave rotor, and liquid cooling, but a new 400cc bike under $2000.00 is what I'm looking for.
P.S. Anybody notice the cooling hose wraping around the bottom part of the frame. One of us will have to figure out a way to rig some kind of protection plate just for that one hose |
