    I am seeing different specs in the EPA submitted specification for motorcycles, that information comes from the manufacturer, then information that is used to market some bikes. I would lean toward the lies being to the consumer rather then on the submitted data to the EPA? However I wonder if in some cases they are offering different configuration to consumer then what they are approved to offer?

    I am not ragging environmentalist sponsor of bureaucracy, I just think some of it falls into unfair business practices as in lying.

    So when they say it has 18hp then there is the obvious question; then why did you tell the EPA that it only has 14.5hp?
    My scooter guy even handles the registration process for me. I might show him this thread though so he's aware. But he's pretty good at this now with how many he does. If I ever get the MSO and bill of sale for my other scooterdepot 50cc, I'll finally make it legit. Wth is their problem over there. Geez. :-/

    I read a good portion of the DF250RTB thread. It's astounding what you/us/we put up with. Most companies would probably be out of business with this level of customer support. I guess the rock bottom prices make us overlook it and jump through all kinds of ridiculous hoops to get our hands on one of their products.

    I called scooter depot just now and they said my order has actually not been placed yet. They say the bike is only available in orange. I canceled my order. Orange isn't even an option on their website! omfg

    You should probably check your wallet, just to be sure it's still there, and then have a long shower to wash away the sleaze.

    Sheesh.
