New Bike sussposedly

Phane · 03-13-2024, 12:19 PM

I just recently got a new bike in February 2024 from Venom Motorsports with no miles on it, but when I went to register it, the bike is a 2022 model! Doesn't that sound like I've been ripped off!

What model is it?

I am willing to bet the year of production was not even mentioned in any ad. I have never seen year model mentioned in any description of a Chinese bike for sale "new". I bought my DF 250-RT in 2020 -- the MCO described it as a 2018. Whatever -- it was still new and never-titled when I got it.

The Templars are showing up with manufacturing dates of 3 or 4 months old. They are not sitting around. in fact they are waiting for a new batch that will be shipping soon.

It surprises me that a dealer would have his funds tied up in inventory for such a long time.

If you try to sell it that is when the problem would really come in!
