[QUOTE="KaTooMer, post: 667661, member: 16246"] I bought my KX250 from [URL=http://www.motorcycle-brokers.com][B]Motorcycle Brokers[/B][/URL]. No problems whatsoever, although I haven't attempted to title it (yet). Here's how it worked: 1. I called the number, talked to Zach. He's a pretty no-nonsense guy, gives you the facts and that's about it. The price is the price, and he ships it via Forward Air to their terminal nearest to you for $200. 2. When I was ready to buy, he referred me to Brandi at the office. She took care of all the paperwork. I sent a cashiers check to her, which I was a bit leery about doing, but I had searched DRN for comments about Motorcycle Brokers, and they were all generally favorable. You can also pay with credit card or PayPal, but they gross up the cost to offset the transaction fees. 3. Brandi initially gave me a VIN number so I could have it insured from the time it left their warehouse. The VIN number was not the same one that was on the bike that was shipped, but there was a reason for that; can't remember what it was. 4. The check arrived late on a Friday. The bike was shipped on Monday and I was given a tracking number. The bike arrived at the Forward Air terminal at the St. Louis airport the following Friday. I was returning from a business trip that day and was able to pick up the crate on the way home. [URL=http://www.geocities.com/aa21830/GreenMachine.html]Bike in Crate[/URL] It was a bit tricky to unload it by myself. After removing the cardboard (makes a great floor mat in the garage), I put a stand under the frame and began unbolting the crate. I put on the front wheel and handlebars while the bike was in the truck, then unloaded it like normal. There's a little bit of assembly after that, but not much. It was full of tranny oil and coolant, and the forks were filled with oil. The transaction was pretty smooth. The only problem is going to be titling it, because the Candian documentation is different. I'm sure it will confuse the hell out of the DMV and cause me enough headaches that I may just say screw it and not bother titling the bike. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the experience and happy that I was able to assemble the bike myself and be assured that it was done correctly. [/QUOTE]
