are people gettig excited

 

As I stated in the other thread I think it's ugly as could be! But being a Prototype it could and I am sure it will change hopefully for the better. It seems the Chinese sport atv's are getting better and looking better so Jet really needs to step up with this one looks and quality wise and not over price it out of the Chinese price range! With the Vbike 250 at $1500 I think $2000-2500 would be were this 350 needs to be, any over I just can't seeing it be a big hit. But who knows I may be totally wrong!

 

Im excited to go test ride it again. Supposed to have different plastic this time around and some frame mods.

outofline, no way its going to be in the $2000.00 to $2500.00 dollar range. It has to many components on it NOT made in China to compete with a VBike on price. I dont think Jetmoto considers VBike one of its competitors anyway....at least not yet.

 

I would think the Raptor 350 is it's target. So pricing will be below that, but I would still guess around 3500 at the least.

 

Being A Chinese bike they are between a rock and a hard place on priceing it as outofline has mentioned.The chinese ATV's/Motor cycle Stigma is well establised and I think trying to convince the general public or worse yet current Chinese bike owners that a new bike is worth a certain dollar amount is going to be a challenge.
The Cinese market on these things have exploded because of the middles class decline in this country.Being able to purchase A 250cc atv for 1250.00 is hard for many but doable.It enables people to be able to enjoy the sport that otherwise couldn't.
But if you look at this forum how many people jump to a 300cc for 1800.?
Sorry for rambling but just my thoughts.

$2900.00 is the price they are hoping to sell it for. They are going after the guy or gal contemplating a used EX400 or Warrior/Raptor 350.

They are never going to compete with someone selling on ebay.

If I was in the market of Chinese ATV's I would consider vbike a competitor.As well as Lifan,Sunl,Hi-bird,viva,marshin,shinray,.....They are all partaking of the market share.

But someone selling on ebay will never be able to compete with the parts supply and service Jetmoto has. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Under 3k and it has all the add ons most people do? I think it will do pretty well.

There are too many parts made in Taiwan and Japan on a Jetmoto for it to compete with any of them on price.

SunL doesnt really compete with anyone do they? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
