If you just do some searching and reading, there are plenty of information out there you can base your judgement on as I didn't have to ask this question two weeks ago.

I made my decision to go with RX12 among other bikes including Immortal.

But IMO, RX12 is the BBFB AND performance by far b/c Immortals in US (until a week ago) come in 70cc. RX12 comes in 110cc. Immortals gauge in US version is very crappy as far as I remember seeing in a picture. As far as the other features, I think they are just about equal.

Immortals are very scarce. I was quoted 799 NOT including shipping. Give me a break. I got my RX12 for $700 Shipped!! Now if it is scarce, that is going to make things harder to find any parts for things that break. I hear people having problem finding parts for RX12, I can only imagine how hard it will be for Immortal.

Now if you dig for something different from what other people have, go for Immortal and it seems that is the only edge Immortal has over RX12.

Good luck with your purchase,

Michael K.

Sorry, I have to disagree with you. The Imortal frame was built around the motor. It was built for a 4 stroke motor. The x12 is an adapted 2 stroke frame that will crack overtime due to the torque. Will I pay an extra $99 for a frame that will not crack? You bet. Parts are available for them as well as the bikes in Texas. I have ridden most of the midbikes and the Imortal handles the best even over the X12. Just my 2 cents.

I thought RX12 weighs 160lbs b/c of its steel frame unlike other Xbikes weighing 80lbs or the neiborhood and the frame was designed for 4 stroke bike. No? As far as I know there is no 2 stroke version of RX12, is there? It seems most X bikes out there started out as 2 stroke and then later on fitted with 4 stroke engine. But I am pretty sure RX12 started with only 4 stroke in mind.

Well, $799 is not all that bad but now you gotta add shipping, are we still under 800? $700 shipped is not bad at all. There are sellers who are selling these below 700 shipped. Funny thing is, I know how much he paid for shipping and I am sure he is still making money.
