I haven't seen one before. I would also recommend taking a look at the hensim 250 from vbike.

Take a look in the review section and also the dualsport forum.

You can get one for just alittle bit more from a reliable source.

I agree with Allen. You can get the Hensim 250 Enduro for $1,200, delivered. This bike has a larger engine, and a larger fuel tank than the Roketa. The Hensim also seems to be better built, and Tim, at Vbike, is a reputable vendor.

I don't know anything about the dealer but that's about the most irritating juvenille website I've seen in a while. I'd stay away just because of that. :?

Ordered and bought a ATA 250D from them (xtremefirepower also known as cheapatvs and A1 cycle out of NC) with delivery due tomorrow (have the freight companies tracking info). Must say I am not all that impressed with their setup but they appear to be legit. I went the route of Direct Deposit to save 5% and was not very sure that it was a good idea. One problem with this is the lack of accounting for the money you deposit, ie no name attached to who deposited it. After depositing the money you call to tell them you have done so and they supposedly get back with the shipping information. I ended up prodding them for a few days to get acknowledgment.

The other issue is color selection. If the color you pick is not available (the black was not in my case) they will call to have you pick another. Would be easier if they used email a bit more frequently to inform and get directions.

But it looks like I will be getting it soon. I have a new RT 13 tooth sprocket and RK pro chain ready to go plus a NGK plug. Oil change and bolts to be tightened before any use.

Will let the Forum know how delivery went.
