I dunno about this. I like to see the bike I'm getting. What if its been used uh... I mean pre-owned and its all beat up or scrached? Or its missing parts?

I'm pretty sure it is a scam: it does not look very professional.
There is a mistake right on the main page : 'Yahamha snowmobiles'....lol
The prices are way too low compared to our dealers...they wouldn't get a lot of money selling quads that price... :rolleyes:
Anyway...if it is not a scam, the deal is really good... 8)

i went through the thing my self.. the company later added me to msn.. as who ever was talking to me.. they said they want to conqour the indusrty with low prices. the also said they get machines for cheap.. it means their buying 10,000$ quads for just 1000 $ or less... i dunno what to say.. they are from spain though

Someone should give them a call and ask if one of their friends who is in spain can stop by and take a look at the quads or if they can be picked up in person. See what story they come up with.

It is a SCAM.
Period.
If the prices are too good to be true it is a SCAM.
If you can't pay cash in person it is a SCAM.
If they want a wire transfer or western union it is a SCAM.
If you are sending money to another country it is a SCAM.
If they claim to be shipping the ATV from another country, it is a SCAM.

Please guys don't be silly.

look at some of the pics. you can see where they flipped the pictue because the name of the bike is backwards. also under honda utility there selling the same bike for a different price the name is worded different

i went on the site and e-mailed them to see if the prices where for real ... i got a reply saying that they were." there is no hidden taxes" they said except for shipping... which is probaly where they are going to get you. but on the hand people will say anything just to sell. if its not a scam then their just dumb arses!!
they could also just being seling the bikes for the retail too lol
