for what its worth-I've got 4 bikes. 2 came from
ebay sellers, 2 came from other dealers. I had no problems with 1 of the
ebay bikes. The other
ebay bike had some body damage from shipping and the seller took care of it no problem-he actually sent the wrong part first but then sent out the correct one. I had alot of body damage on one of the non-ebay bikes and although they eventually took care of it-it was a big hassle-no return calls or emails and 2-3 months to get replacement parts. The other non
ebay bike had a bad carb and the best they would do was offer me a discount on replacement parts. So really its up to you-I would say that I think most people would prefer a regular dealer but my experience has been 50/50.
110ccman-PM me, I'd head to gateway some night. I've talked to a guy from collinsville on here and a guy in Florissant. Seems like we got alot of riders around here. I'm up in St. Charles(right next to St.Peters where they banned pocket bikes about a week or two ago). I'm kinda busy coming up-I go out of town next week and then in about a month. As soon as stuff slows down for me I'm good to go.
