Have you considered to do what venom does and import them?

alibaba has all kinds of bikes listed,...

My buddy started importing frame machines, lifts etc from china and we've been talking about getting some bikes on one of his containers. I know it's not an easy thing, but really getting more interested in taking a shot at it. Seeing your experience is heartening. Thanks for sharing!

ok, since i haven't produced a profit on these with my method, i decided to make something happen and looked around for trades on one of my x20 vader2 bikes. a person found me nearby that wanted one of my vader bikes. i ended up trading even for a honda 2015 cb300f with 7k miles on it. it recently had a new crankshaft installed by honda dealer in a recall. it has new tires too. been hanging my head low because this vader selling idea went south in proclaiming profits.

i did learn how to work on carbs pretty good, but this trade makes me feel much better that something positive(other than gaining the knowledge of carb tuning) came of it. i am totally liking this cb300f, especially the fuel inj and water cooled engine. here is a side by side comparison of the vader2 and cb300f. they look pretty similar.... i have one red and one blue vader 2 avail at $1500 advertised locally. mention this ad and i will sell each one of my remaining vader2 stock for $1250.

If I lived closer, I would be all over a Blue one!

imapdog, I hope you'll start a new thread on your CB300F.

Not only do most of us have non-China bikes, several of us have started threads on them. Some members here no longer even own a China bike.

wont do this again.
loss of time, but no loss in $.
wealth of knowledge obtained!
did score a great trade to offset the letdown.

Dang sorry, that didn't work out. I thought it would.
You tried that's the biggest accomplishment.

If nothing else, we've appreciated the fun read! :-)

Hey Imapdog - one day you will look back on this experience and find some humor in it all! You did provide some knowledge to the rest of us. I purchased my exhaust system based on your experience.

Enjoy the Ride!
