import bike direct from china

[pitbulls]

hi all. i have done some searching to find a new bike and come across a shite load of factorys in china willing to send sample bikes usually for around $900us fob(free on board?).found a stock bike claiming to have fastace race forks and fastace rear shock.also 138cc lifan motor, alloy swing arm etc far bit of bling(pics look legit)will try to post pics from e-mail i got from factory.just wanna know if anyone else has done this. btw the bike is for me and

not for sale so i am not in this for business, just pleasure

 

[Meko]

yeah - kinda looks ok dude, if they are genuine fastace then it sounds like a good buy

 

[Flarry]

Looks like a good bike, just find out how much they charge you shipping!!

 

[Bella]

That looks alright but US$900 converts to about AUD$1100. Where you could get something like the MSO Pro for like $1295. It wouldn't be a 138 but it does have the fast ace bits and you would at least have peace of mind in both receiving the bike and having after sales service ???

 

[No-Fear]

why wouldent it be a 138cc? lots of bikes are shipping with BBK engines.

 

[Bobby Dazzla]

Why would you even bother importing that yourself.. I can get you similar bike but with 138cc oil cooled lifan, full alloy frame, fast ace as02 forks and 58arc fast ace rear shock. you can buy the bike built WITH a WARRANTY for $1550
Try taking that back when it fucks up to china!

Dont forget the Import duty and freight,its not going to end up being a cheap bike !!!!!

Get a MSO pro. The 138cc bikes are only 127cc so it is pretty much a MSO pro anyway.

 

[pitbulls]

thanks

ty all that had an opinion. taken them all on board. bobby dazzla whats the bike you can get your hands on? post pics if possible please

 

[sik-pj]

buy the mso pro that looks shit hot!

Take the advise from BOBBY and Marylands Performance.
There are so many things to consider, such as , import approval takes 15 days min, if bike arrives in aust without it you will be up for storage fees in excess of $30 a day to DHL or similar company, Customs broker fees, import duty ,GST on goods and Shipping, 600usd for air freight . Dont go there, unless your importing a couple of hundred units. But have a go anyway, its only money. Hope this has been helpfull!! CHEERS!!!
Your are right though, bike looks ok.

first of all it's not CHP, and it is should be the same as MSO Elite except blings. FOB means Feight on Board, that means you have to pay everything for get the piece here. Here come the list of charge you need to pay

50$ for imporation approval per model 17days.
150$ plus GST for Professional charge that means custom broker.
approximately 700$ (will be much more if you order a container) for the documentation and port labor charge.
According to the price for that bike you need to pay the GST for both value of the bike plus freight, which will be around 100$, ocean frienght would be cheaper around 40US
0.25% of total value charge for insurance in case the cargo sinks.
Storage 52 plus GST if your bike hit the custom with no approval or didn't pass qurantain.
150$ interstate transportation give or take, if ur cargo end up somewhere else. approx 50 to transfer from port to your door.

That's pretty much it, not so bright for numbers you just have to done math yourself bro. Only one piece of mind....... not worth it, u never know what you gonna get and obviously no after sale service.

Yeah looks ok, but also the thing you need to look out for is, what if they just dont send the bike and who do you know who youre dealing with, most importers go to china to see the factory and make friends with the sales people and meet them in person to see they are the real thing. if youre going to send money to some unknown person you might as well send me the cash, hell i even tell you that i got it and spent it all on beer.
