I Paid $ 1620.00(AUS) for this bike from my Local Distrubitar ( he only sells the better models) his price included assembly and 6 months warranty. I am still running in the bike it has great performance and handling ( for the price) The only thing you should do before ridding, is cut of the white plastic rear wheel guard ( infront of the shock) the wheel hits it ( and as I found out ripps it off)
