Thanks a bunch herbie!

The bike is great and I've enjoyed every ride - even today when the ride home was in 108 degree temp!

Looking forward to many more miles and appreciate your support!

It's the flat black color with red and white decals. I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow. It was $2500 delivered and is now my daily driver.

I have a V-series Cadillac that seems to stop at every gas station so this gas saving bike is a very welcome addition to my garage.

Hey where’d you find the flat black for that price? I can only find the (older?) white/red and white/yellow for under $3000. The only 2022s I’ve found are over that price. Thanks and agree pics would be awesome!

Venom Motorsports have the Flat Black. The fuel cost has driven the prices up in the past few months. If you use the Forum discount code JerryHawk250 you will get $50 off. It's not much but will give you a few tanks of gas. https://www.venommotorsportsusa.com/...12836894310444

Ok thanks. Yeah Venom did look to be the most reputable shop for this bike. They had texted after I expressed an interest and did offer a $75 off coupon. Do you know the difference between a 2020 model and the 2022 apart from colors? The older color models can still be had for 2750 shipped from other sites.

I really don't think there was much change except for colors.

$3025 from Venom shipped to your door and you get the best colors from a good dealer that supports this forum is good deal I think, just my opinion of course. You know the old saying that “a warranty is only as good as the dealer providing it”. I personally was Leary about buying from other dealers. I even noticed that Amazon prices have gone up on the KPR and venom was a bit cheaper.

I bought mine on eBay for $2459 from seller xpromoto and the invoice shows Powersportsmax. They did add a $100 shipping fee since I'm in a rural area so the total was actually $2559.

Guess I need to figure out how to post a picture.

I placed an order for the center stand but it didn't show any shipping charges so I hope the seller will contact me for the shipping charges in the next day or two.

Once engtb.com receives your part they will give you shipping options with the weight. I never received any notifications from them so you may want to check your order status on their website every few days.

Thanks Teklock! I'll keep an eye on the status.

You're welcome! I don't remember exactly what status my order was on but when I had the option to 'Submit to ship' is when I receive the different options for shipping carriers.

I agree with what teklock said, usually what happens is after you order they submit to ship to a local warehouse and you are asked if you want any special service like repackaging and they also offer expert help as they call it, at a small fee. They will weigh the package either as you bought it or if it gets repackaged and then you are given the options for international shipping, and the charges vary as well as the wait time. the center stand was costly to ship so I went with the cheaper option since I wasn't in a hurry for it, but for whatever reason they airmailed it and I received it in 3 weeks. you have to keep checking the status on your page and be proactive with the order. They do a good job with it but it is a lot more work than ordering from the states.
