    They should offer a standard version instead of the $1,700.00 race bike. They could offer it for $1,599.00

    The chrome part on the tank should be satin black and the forks need sleeves.

    They also could bring over this dual sport bike as well.

    I like the idea of all of the bikes sharing one engine and as many parts as possible.
    They need to keep the prices down and improve the interface to the customer online for parts ordering.
    The SR-X is all they need for a sports bike.

    They can or could expand the offering of the 250 models.

    If they had a good online parts ordering systems then could reduce the phone calls. If they track part failures and send that back to the factory for resolutions then they could end up with a decent offering that sells well.

    This could also be brought over with a 250, lose the decals and add a front disk.



    They should try to keep the prices under $2,000.00, that being the total cost to the customer after delivery.

    Keeping prices down keeps the volume of sales up, more offerings increases the customer base, not everyone desires the same style bike.

    MJH, I paid $1,100 and change for my 150cc mystery scooter. That included shipping from CA to my door in AZ.

    Yeah they are amazingly low cost…but since factory workers in China only earn on average $200.00 a month and most actually live in factory housing, like a dormitory. Many are also from rural areas and have limited benefits as they are classified as rural and do not have the same rights as others that are classified as urban …most of the profit is concentrated into the hands of a few.

    But many of those people may feel today is better then yesterday for them…for now, eventually they will likely get sick of working so much and getting so little?

    That little issue is behind all these low cost products and also part of the reason they often break.
