Yamoto supermoto gy200
Anyone ride one of these? I saw one at ATV Discounters and it looked great. It had the 163fml motor , what looked to be a superior swing arm, nice plasics that were soft and bendable. It had a seat hight that made me tiptoe and im 6'3". Very solid looking. Price was 1299 might get them to budge some though. They sold me a gy2 for 899 + ttl= 1060.49. Let me know what you think if you have any comments.

The one case I have read here is a bit iffy. If he had let the driver take the bike it may have been different. I bought my bike from them, no issues at all. May be we should check out some of our members. Im not having a bike shipped to save a buck. I will buy in person, like my first one. This is my only choice of dealers, due to the fact that I REFUSE to buy from non english speaking dealerships.

I think that in person is a slightly different scenario. English speaking is good, too, unless you are bilingual and can speak Spanish, which I can't, in spite of living in rock throwing distance to the border (me="no hablo")
Can you post a pic of the motard?

I just got an email from a member on here that I need to share with all of you. He is going through a legal dispute with them right now so he wishes to remain anonymous as this is a popular thread. I have FW the email to frostbite and he can vouch for the legitimacy of the email wile keeping the members identity secret. He recently worked for them and he lives in the area. He writes:

I will get a pic tomorrow. ATV discounter has been good to me. Maybe because I held up my end of the bargain. I WILL buy from them again.

I am sure that they are fine to deal in person, but I would never consider them for mail order.

I'm not even sure I would deal with them in person!
If you buy a bike from them and have a problem with it and bring it back, they may deny selling it to you! hahahahahhah |
