im talking with a repo dealer right now and he told me that he can get me a good bike...the only problem is he said bike sales are slow this year and if he brings in more than one he doesnt know if he can sell the rest. The shipping for 1-4 bikes is the same but over 5 at a time we can get a better deal on shipping. You can probably get any bike you want from him, he said he got the list he can buy on wednesday and there was somthing like 900 bikes so youre bound to find somthing you like. They do a 100 point inspection on all bikes they purchase and give you the score out of 100 on what they find. My friend bought a 2005 cruiser with 29 miles on it and it didnt even score 100 so its not that easy of a test. If youre lookin for a bike, this might be somthing you should consider

cost will depend on what bike you want...he said he was going to read through the list to find somthing in my range of bout $4k..said around 1999-2001 with around 20-30000kms...i was given his email but lost it so ill have to phone him tomorrow to get it..he cant give out the list of all bikes because they came through a fax and would have to type out all 900 bikes into the comp so if you gave me an idea of what your looking for i can ask him and we can hopefully get a better deal on shipping...oh and also the bikes come from anywhere in north america i beleive..my friends cruiser came out of san francisco

These bikes aren't "HOT" off the press are they? LOL ....with all the thefts around these parts lately. Just kidding.

i doubt theyre stolen...if you really have doubts you can ask for the vin # on the bike and have it checked

If the bikes are coming from the states, my worry would not be that they're stolen, but that they're Katrina (flood recovery) bikes. If they go through an inspection though, there's probably less chance of it.
