I looked at that place.. I got mine from HERE The shipping was free.. But the bike was more expensive LOL..I shopped around and all in all their price was best. I guess you will always get hit for shipping where you are. I'm only 5'6" and the 250 (229) is just a little tall for me, I'm sourcing a shock from the 200 as it's about an inch shorter and will work fine I believe.

I'm also thinking of getting a bigger front sprocket.. I have doe 300km on mine and it feels like it's bedded in nicely. I gave it a good twist the other night and it got to 65mph (on the clock) LOL.. I ran out of gas too.. I was in the middle on nowhere on dirt roads I had never been on before and it got me home, although I was having anxiety attacks because I didn't know how long reserve was going to last. I "guessed" (conservative) the bike does 60mpg so the 1 liter should have got me 15 miles.. this is all through liters and kilometers and conversions.. so it was a bit sketchy.. but I got home and I did 13.6 miles (22 kilometers)

I think the tank is pressurized, and I filled it too full. The gas was pumped out through the vent. My theory anyway. I have always had screw on caps with breather pipes before, so this seems odd form the get go.

I'm pretty happy with it all in all.. I know corners have been cut, I'm not so stupid that I expected real quality lol, but it is sufficient to do the job. So far so good anyway. I hope to see further posts from you, whatever you choose.
