The dealer did not charge me a documentation fee to go to the DMV for me.
Now, add the CSC TT250(No haggle price of $2195) assembly($195), sales tax($202), CA title and license plate (approx $50) documentation fee($45), crating($150), and shipping(free right now I see), the out the door price of the TT250($2,837) could actually be higher than what I paid for the XF250.
The TT250 appears to be an awesome bike for the price, I just want to point out that the MSRP and actual purchase price can be very different.
Almost forgot, the XF has a 2.5 Gallon Tank.

You bought that from Doug at ATV Wholesale, if I remember right? That's a great price!
One thing that has to be kept in mind is that you don't necessarily compare the Qlink/SSR (QingQi) bikes to other CB's that are drastically less in price. You compare them to the Japanese competition and compare what you get for so much less than the Japanese bikes.
Your SSR XF250 for 2700.00 is a superior bike regarding design and modern tech compared to the Suzuki DR200 for 4850.00....and I'll even put build quality right there with it.
