I don't know anything particular about this brand, but it is absolutely buyer beware on stuff like this. I don't know anybody who has bought any of the "off brand" machines that has not lived to regret it...big time!

I would rather buy a used machine made by the big 4, than any new machine from anybody else!

I'd be very cautious myself. I'm sure he might be a reputable dealer,but that doesn't say anything about his product, service or if something breaks, how LONG does it take to have it fixed or even get the parts? Never heard of the brand myself. It might be ok as long as you are mechanically inclined, they are cheaper for a reason. But I have heard those say that they have had very good luck with the lower priced units. It's your call, If it was me, I'd stick with the big boys, years of dependable service, speaking from experience, usually you can shop around and find a good deal at a dealership especially buying three, it doesn't have to be three brand new ones, people trade things in all the time, just some kind of warrantee with it.

I also have not heard anything about this brand, Like others have said, it is a case of buyer beware and how comfortable are you with repairing things that you might or might not be able to get parts for.
I would stick with the big 4 (Yamaha Suzuki Kawasaki Polaris) even if you have to get something used, you would probably be better off.

ISPEP,
Look at Racewayatv.com and JetMoto. You dont have to worry about service after the sale and JetMoto is by far the best off brand you can get. You will read nothing but good about raceway and they carry JetMoto. They have atv,s from 50cc to 250cc and 250cc dirtbikes or 250cc enduro bikes. The dirtbikes are very nice. Of course name brand is the way to go but most just starting out cant afford name brand so the JetMoto fits the gap and are great starter bikes.

I have been riding for a long time and I have never heard of that brand. If anything I would first find a local dealer and go see it in person so you can see how the quality is. You might be better off getting something used first and going from there. Good luck!........... Jeff
