Ok, I couldn't resist starting a thread about this. I feel like at this price ,it makes trying one not so bad. I wonder if this is the company that makes them for christini? At worst for the $1600 w/ free shipping you have a spare engine, and i'm sure other parts could be made to work.

If this is truly the same bike sold here in dealerships, i can't imagine them not getting shut down by chrisitini for selling them so cheap. What are your thoughts?

You may be up for some customs fees, but honestly it smells like a rat. Remember the saying, if its to good to be true, it probably is!

I don't plan on risking my $. I didn't think about customs fees,maybe that's the price they start out at.And by time it's in the dealer,it costs $8000.

But it does make me wonder.

I agree, this smells. The wheels, forks and exhaust probably cost that much!

never heard of aliexpress.com, anyone used it before?

aliexpress is like chinese ebay.
The legitimacy of an item depends entirely on the person selling it.

The member that bought rotors got them quick. If I had spare $ ,that I didn't need. I would order ,and see how it turned out. But I'm NOT going to.
And I was wondering about the shipping weight.maybe it's rolling chassis,no engine?
