I don't know why people are giving this place such a hard time review wise.
So I will write a lengthy review about my experience.
I met Shram (the owner) a couple of months ago. He never pressured me into a sale or anything like that. I had done a ton of research and window shopping. The lowest I could get a big brand bike dealer that starts with an H was 5800.00 for the smallest/cheapest bike they had.
I saw ads online for the MotoBravo150 hornet and found out that Fun Riders was a local dealer for them.
The second or third time I stopped by his shop there was a family of 4 or 5 people all super mad, telling me to steer clear of the place,. But something seemed off about the people so I hung around to see what the deal was.
Turns out they brought in a old, not running beach cruiser with a lawnmower engine that someone had Frankensteined onto the bike . They were mad because the chain was rubbing the tire and didn't want to pay for getting the motor running. Not sure what they expected from a home made beach cruiser with a motor strapped to it... To those people I say, You can polish a turd all you want it will still be a turd!
So, I left and headed to the internet to do research. I found out that in the last few years Chinese scooter are SLOWLY starting to have a slightly better track record. the biggest reason Chinese scooters are so inexpensive. They need to be carefully gone over with a fine tooth comb for loose screws and other little things to make sure China's Non-existent quality control didn't miss anything. ( search for Chinese scooter tips and maintenance)
This place sells mostly Chinese made scooters and little dirt bikes that cost a fraction of the price compared to big name brands. You can do all the research you want. Chinese bikes are cheaper, and that's NOT always a bad thing... If you are a mechanically inclined at all, then a Chinese bike is your best money saving friend ;) . Also as far as the MotoBravo 150 hornet goes, there are a ton of mods online. You can by a real Honda GY6 motor online for under 400 bucks and swap the whole thing out if the Chinese motor ever has some catastrophic failure... Still 10X cheaper than the big brands :)... It is mainly about the maintenance habits of the person who is going to ride it, not the guy who sold it to you.
They did a break in service(changed the oil and checked everything) at 200.
I am now at 400 miles on the bike. A screw fell out of one side of the plastic cover for the rear wheel but last time I stopped in to say hi to Shram, he gladly replaced it. No fuss, just a smile. I honestly couldn't be happier with the whole deal. Thanks Shram!
On a side note about the cleanliness: Have you ever been to a motorcycle service place that was privately owned? Well than you know your not going to want to eat off the floor of the place. It is a bit dilapidated, but that's what happens when someone is at the same location for 20 years... read more
