Dealers I need your help with opinions on brands

[Second-Lap-Motorsports]

I have been looking for a long time for a brand to carry in my shop and don't know which to pick. I see so many different brands on the internet and listed in some of the dealer magazines I get, but don't want to get hung with a brand that has poor quality or poor dealer/parts support. I know a lot of these bikes are the same or similar and just a matter of who is the importer/distributor. I would like a brand that has a lot of variety like dirt, street, atv's, utility vehicle and maybe generators. Also I would like to carry snowmobiles and personal watercraft, but in another thread I found that most of these aren't imported. Q-link was one I was thinking of or possibly Roketa, but I don't know there reputations. If you have any info, but don't want to praise or bad mouth brand X or a certain distributor to the public, then private message me and I'll keep it private. Thanks in advance.

Not being a dealer, but a fairly "typical" customer, I would consider the Qlink to purchase, considering their warranty and parts ("98% parts available..." whatever happened to the other 2%?!?!)Also, UM has a good "high-end" as far as re-branded Korean and Chinese stuff go, IMO. One of the more unknown, but premium brands (premium as far as this segment goes) is Diamo.

Im not a dealer but Im a buyer, and Lifan seems to be the most attractive brand with Hi-Bird and Qlink and Shineray close seconds!
Also I think it depends on the purchaser, me personally I like to experiment, if there was a bike out there that couldnt go over 50 of over a bump without falling apart...I would buy it as long as its the right bike for me, some of the bikes out there look awesome but I would probably kill myself on them! lollololo....... :lol:
