Sumoto

Hi,

My son is going down to Melbourne to Sumoto to look at 250 learners.
Anyone have adverse experience with this group? How do they handle
warranty (we live in NSW? We saw their advert in Just Bikes.

thanks

Everyone I know has only had exceptional experiences with Sumoto's World
of Shonk.

 

Morning all,

I don't know what they are like now, but a couple of years ago there was
a large shite-storm here in aus.moto about them. The over-all opinion
was extremely negative.

Cheers,
Viking

 

....buy my VTR250!

Hammo

 

I got my CBR250RR from them and it looked as new, but boy did I pay through
my nose for that luxury.

I'd say take a stroll down Elisabeth street instead.

He should buy Hammo's VTR250, in Albury. Hope that helps.

Nothing wrong with 500,000kms on a VTR!

I believe modern Japanese motorcycles sometimes last as long
as Wodonga!

all this talk and no price quotes?

 

Everyone knows that they are worth their weight in gold!

Hammo

It was advertised here last week for 4500.....

 

A bit harsh Pete, my son just got a Yahama Fzr 250 from there and it is a
great little unit

Cheers Reg

 

one word:
NO

Pete

 

So that NO adverse experience, is it?

 

Sorry, shoulda said: DON'T
They've got a crappy reputation, seen quite a few bikes from there over the
last few years and listened to plenty of stories.
Let's hope Vic get's the LAM's rather sooner than later and wipes out the
whole grey-250 business.
Some of the bikes are ok, if you know what to look for and know a bit about
bikes.
If you're "green" to the game, chances are...


cheers

Reg
you know plenty about bikes and know what to look for.
Most 250-buyers are newbies at it and have to rely on what they're told by
some sales-guys.

Maybe, once the rego and CTP are the same for 250s......
Hammo

 

Does it make a difference? There isn't much demand for machines > 250cc and <
500cc... which attract the same rego/CTP costs in Victoria as a 250cc.
