The bike shipped fast & went together easy (center stand). I got stuck waiting for the MSO (three weeks) but compared to some horror stories here it could have been worse. It appears that they fixed the supply issue.

The JC Whitney luggage is a holdover from the Viva SX-200 (buyer did not want it) & a Maier fairing from them as well 106.00 w/ free shipping.

Had a cracked Speedo gage when I got it and I vibrated a rear foot peg off. (damn forget to loctite it)
Both parts are coming but no ETA.

3 miles on it, will post a better review if I can ever ride it.
Disputed the charge on my cc, ANAM sent me a Photo copy - DMV said no.
They said a real one is on the way :evil: WTF!

I got to say those are a pretty basic looking bike, dont appear much to them to go wrong.. I am thinking about getting one myself as a back up bike to my Tank R-3.

Florida said no to the MSO. Said it was a copy. Verified by the instructions contained on the MSO itself.

No watermark, no security threads in the paper.
And it looks like a dirty photocopy, normal paper and smudges on the front.

The one I got for the Viva was in color and watermarked & no problem at the DMV. Starting to think I should have kept that thing.....

Called and emailed ANAM said they would look into it. No reply yet.

Very nice looking bike. How about a photo of you on it so we can get a sense of its size. Is it larger than a Honda Rebel?

i can relate to you. I live in Florida also, and bought my scooter from a dealer down in Miami, I drove down there to pick it up. I had to jump through so many hoops with DMV, they said it was just a photocopy. after about 8 trips there , they went ahead and registered it, I think they got tired of seeing me.
When I got my Tank R-3, I didnt have a lick of trouble, so I feel for ya man....Randy
