i am considering buying one of their 450's... i am wondering whats the catch??? they come with all the good after market stuff... like the pipe kit ($550) graphics... fat bars ect... for the same price as a factory bike?? what do you guys think ?

 

Shipping is what kills them, oh yea, and they charge i think 1,100$ to assemble it...

 

Shipping, (shipping insurance), asembley.....but you get an awesome bike. I say go for it.

 

whats it go for brand new...? 6800??.. so i would be giving like 8 grand?? ( that not bad.. with all the mods)

 

i think you can buy a YFZ and put the stuff on your self for cheeper, but if you dont want the trouble, i would just get the ALBA, plus they have cool graphic kits on em.

 

where do u live? my friend who lives in newyork they said 9000+ at his door

 

i live in southern IL, thats sounds a little steep!!!!

a budy of mine just got an 04 450 of the showroom floor, with razor 2 tires all the way around, chrome polished rims, full yosh exhuast, and tag bars... for cheaper than my DVX400?? He payed only 6900... taxes and all! i dont know if i want to pay another 9 grand... lol

 

True but like tha otha guy said theyll slam u for shippin..

 

You can put the stuff on yourself for much cheaper. I put on my alba stuff myself i live 20 minutes down the rode from them. I saved over 1000 dollars buy putting the ALBA stuff on my raptor myself. My future brother in law just bought the ALBA honda450r for 8900 and it is sweet but you could buy a stock 450 for like 6400 in san diego and buy there parts yourself and save over 1000 dollars. But hey you pay more for convienence and if money is not an issue it sure is cool to have a piped bike ready to go.....it is your call.

 

You have to call Alba and they will give you a price to your door. Sometimes you get free shipping. So you just have to call and get the price. Then do the math on what it would cost you to do it all. Then you'll know the better deal.
