What is this?
http://www.viva-motors.com/dirt-bike-200cc.html
Did they finally update thier website? Is this what im going to recieve on Friday? Anyone know who makes these? here's a tail shot http://pocketbikewholesalers.com/ima...00S1/big/5.jpg engine shot http://pocketbikewholesalers.com/ima...00S2/big/7.jpg looks more like a moped/buel blast and less like a dirtbike, but i cant say i dislike it. BTW you can index search their website, just go to http://pocketbikewholesalers.com/images/products/ they even got the old VIVA pics on there still. |

The round headlight really makes it look dated, but I like the rest of it. Kinda looks like a step AWAY from a DS, but overall it's not a bad design. Very clean.

Definately has a more street look to it...kind of like when Honda came out with the dual sport NX models....just like you I cant say I dont like it though. While the round headlight I have not seen since Yamaha's IT model enduro bikes...the rest of the bike including that contoured seat and rear fender look very up to date. Nice bike consmetically for the price IMO. I wouldnt complain if thats what you ended up with.

Yea, its still up in the air... I still have no idea what im going to get. I would hope for one of these new ones, an old one would still be fine too. My package weight only says 280lbs under the tracking info? Shipping weight for the new one says 340lbs. Maybe they sent me a 50cc moped?!
Seat height is lower on the new one as well, only 31". That would be nice because I planned on teaching the GF how to ride it. They added it to the http://www.atvsimports.com/dirt-bike-200cc.html website that I ordered from. Price is lower $929 shipped, and its a VX200S-2. They still have the one I ordered for $949 listed as the VX200S which has a gross weight of 280lbs. So I guess we'll see. |

My bike only said 180# on the manifest...it had me worried, too, but I got the right one. It might be something to do with their shipping agreement with the freight company.

Did you notice in the specs is says rear suspension travel = 1.57 inches? Why the hell do they produce these bikes marketed as DS with NO REAR SUSPENSION!!! I don't get it????????

Yeah, a lower seat would be nice, but I'm not going to put on 19" and 16" tires...I kinda like the design of it though.
