I am sure the GY-2 and the GY-5 are very comparable; however, the GY-2 clearly states that it is an off-road machine. The GY-5 is a 49-state DOT street legal bike. This could have been a big factor for some people in certain states that won't register "off-road" bikes despite having all street equipment.

The GY-2 also has the 56 t rear sprocket, while the GY-5 has the 46 t rear; far more usable from stock.

The year clearly stated 2006 on the bike, while the ad stated 2008--big difference!

Porterz had posted a trade ad here to try to trade the stock GY-2 tires with more streetable tires.

In my opinion, Porterz would have been better off ordering his GY-2 for the same price $1299 from Hooper Imports, as his already have the 46 t sprocket, and street tires.

Again, if I lived in the area, I would not hesitate to see any of your stores in person--but I would hesitate to mail order from you.
