That is the same bike..but if you look at the warranty available..it is kinda slim compared to what i was able to acquire from scooter depot. I have a full 1 year on motor and frame,plus it comes with a 6month parts warranty..but I paid the little extra for the full one year parts warranty.my total landing cost to my front door was $2408.
The cost of the bike you show is only $100 less than what they show at Scooter depot..but you have to add in the shipping and such. check into it before you decide..plus I am gonna stand behind the depot..they have been good to me..twice already.and when I call for questions..very helpfull.

I like the Heist a lot. Maybe I even like the Missfit more. But the Missfit still isn't out for sale yet.

bowtiewagon, I would trade lawns with you... mine is soooo overgrown I have a hayfield...LOL... everything broke one after the other... push mower first, then the weed eater... then the riding mower then the wifes car followed closely by my little truck and when I used the good old stand by big truck it quit under me on the interstate going home from work... thats the biggest reason why I got my bike.... I just love the blacked out version you got.

Dear Bowtie,

Bike looks great in matt black, an effect that I think is called "murdered out" in some neighborhoods ('hoods that are probably better avoided...) I like the black bars, and like the bend in them.

Did it really ship with no rear-view mirrors? Don't go out without them!

Very glad to know you took the MSF course, which really does help to understand how different motorcycling is compared to caging. You are utterly at the mercy of others, unless you have your radar and sonar and every other sensing device scanning at all times -- which you'll need to do on any road in America since most cagers are too busy with 99 cockpit distractions to have any time to show you any mercy. Once you are splattered on the interstate, monday morning mercy won't help.

Watch your back! (and your front and sides, and everywhere else) And ride safely.

cheers

Mirrirors are still in the box..I have yet to add them or the battery yet. Kinda been busy with work and I want to make sure everything is just right before I fire it up. Though the bars look cool..they are a bit to far forward for me..i am 5'9" and I have a bit of a cronic lower back issue..and sitting on the bike and leaning forward does not feel comfy..so i am after a set that are closer to me..reason for the lack of install on the mirriors.
