With every on-line seller there are happy stories and sad stories. This is the nature of buying on line.

I think that buying from an established seller with a retail store is the best bet since a  2 to 3 hundred dollar savings won't matter when you get stuck by a seller that won't honor their warranty. You wouldn't pay up front and pick up a damaged bike would you? Well online sellers can show a web page full of parts, and that doesn't mean that they have them in stock when needed, or at all for that matter.
Many of these sellers don't have possession of the products they sell and will never admit it. I have seen sellers take a customers money for a bike and when its received they find out it was bought from another seller or maybe an importer warehouse. All of these guys have some really good and believable excuses when you catch on and start asking questions like why is my bike a different brand then what I ordered? Why are my parts the wrong brand or color when you continually display the correct parts as being available?
Online sellers have an interesting warranty that read carefully actually tell whats NOT covered. And after you read it you will realize that almost nothing is covered by their warranty!
The idea is to make you think you have a good warranty and the clever way its presented instills consumer confidence. A classic example is the 3YEAR WARRANTY! This is absolutely the most  ridiculous claim to date! Just ask a real biker, or bike shop.
 Before buying a bike try to order 3-4 silly little inexpensive parts (a bulb, a foot peg pad, a dip stick gasket, and a spring for the foot brake) to see how good their service really is, make sure they are wear parts that are specific to the bike you are thinking of ordering, this way they can be used or sold later.

Edit; My contact at Rocketa that I buy parts through said that "Kung Foo" sales have been dead flat due to price and their "Fugly look". It was never told that its been discontinued by either the manufacturer or Rocketa. Usually Rocketa  runs a closeout (discontinued) sale to dealers. This usually generates sales to help liquidate stock on models they want to clear out. As far as I know Rocketa doesn't sell to the public.
Please remember, the description "Fugly" was not mine. I think its kinda nice, but a slightly unusual looking bike.

If speed and performance are your thing the difference between a China 200cc vs 250cc is not note worthy.

Heres a link to info about the dealer you mentioned:  http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/293/ripoff0293236.htm

Unbiased info: spend some time doing research on any bike or dealer you choose. There might be a little bit of bias out there, I think. Your best bet is the old saying "cash and carry" , you see it, you like it. you buy it. Any cost saving idea's can go belly up, I know this first hand.

Hi. I don't know of any one that ever bought that (kung- fu)  bike, but I think its been on a dead list of unsold bikes at Rocketa for quite a while. Could be a bike thats drop shipped by them for any one lucky enough to snag a buyer! If you can find out the model year that should tell you the story.

Edit: I just took a look and the pictures look like a copy/ paste job. That's a good way to do it if you don't have possession of the bike. The question would be, who actually owns the bike? And who has parts? Wheelies? I did those on a 10 speed bike before I ever had a motorcycle, but that's a distant memory of my younger past. Maybe some one will come forward with that info using a 200cc sport bike, like the LF 200-iii. Any volunteers?


Thanks. Buyingchina
