So quick update....

I think I'm going to order one. If not in the next few days then as soon as I sell my current bike.

I've done some calling and driving around today and I THINK I've covered all the bases to allow me to feel confident in ordering the X Pect but I'll list everything and would appreciate some thoughts.

1. Contacted the notary I usually go through. They mentioned the "L" serial number and said as long as the MCO lists the seller and is complete.....I can get a title and registration/plate sent to me through the state no problem.

2. Contacted PowersportsMax. They DO send a completed MCO AND will take care of all warranty claims for parts. So I send them pics of faulty parts, they send me the parts.

3. Contacted American Lifan.....which seems to be just a phone line that's still routed to China (same for PowersportsMax....both of which spoke broken English). They said the 2 year warranty is only for parts if bought online and not labor.....fine. They also verified that PowersportsMax would handle all warranty and MCO issues.

4. Drove to my local mechanic that I normally use. Wanted to talk to him in person to make sure I had his attention and that he understood me. He can get tunnel visioned sometimes in conversation, but does EXCELLENT work. He confirmed so long as I gave him ALL PARTS, he would be willing to do any work needed on the bike. But since he's a small shop, he said major repairs would have to wait until he is slow possibly in the winter time. That's good enough for me!!!

So now I have cleared the way to get it titled and registered, parts covered under warranty, and a mechanic to do the repairs in case I ever need it!!!

Great!!! All that's left now is to contact Progressive and see what they want to insure it. It's usually like $75/yr for full coverage so I'm not worried but that....and talking to my wife about when to buy it....is really the last steps.

Thanks for the replies thus far. Please keep them coming!
