Anyone have experience with these sellers?

I'm thinking of ordering a new Hawk 229cc dual sport. Superior Powersports and Power Ride Outlet have them, seemingly for one dollar difference. nGuess I should ask about Motobuys too. But I would have to call them, as they ignore my emails for getting a shipping price.

I ordered from Power Ride Outlet. Perfect! But all the online sellers have random terrible reviews. Just the nature of these China bikes.

I can't even imagine what it will cost to ship to Hawaii and I wouldn't be surprised if most online retailers refuse to ship to Hawaii.

I wonder why they have such a difficult time with Hawaii? Excalibur Motorsports, who distribute the TMEC 200, cannot figure out how to ship to Hawaii thanks to their ignorant shipping company?! I am guessing, none of the shippers knows how to do this. It IS a state in the US, last time I checked...

I'll be finding out soon. Their online shipping calculator isn't too bad. The cheapest I've seen is $229.00. The most in $500.00. Except for the CSC RX-3, which they quoted me $700. That's because they have to get the bike to National City, Ca. (like a suburb of San Diego), and put it on a ship to Hilo.

I should note--my comment is directed at the shippers themselves, not the dealers. $229 is a great price, it seems, at least compared to $500. $700 is up there, but at least they are giving you information since their shippers seem to know how to do it! But, as you stated before, even mainstream bikes have a large tacked on price, so I guess that is the reality for you guys! It seems like the Hawaiian dealers know how to get their own bikes in, which is why I seem to find some seemingly obscure bikes over there--my guess is the dealers re-brand some of these bikes (it seems to be the case with some of the Chinese-made scooters).
