    Default Anyone ever buy from National Powersports Distributors in NH?

    Title says it all. I'm looking at what they call an "Opportunity Bike" which basically means, as-is with no warranty.

    Anyone have any feedback about them?

    Are they selling what we refer to as the "Chinese Knockoffs"? They look like spyders and are now about $4K. When they first came out, they were $2,995.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    I don't think so. Bikes look legit. www.nationalpowersports.net

    Their website defines an "Opportunity Vehicle" as follows. Sounds like Buyer Beware to me.

    At National Powersports, we buy a lot of bikes! While many are fully serviced and sold with a warranty, some will not go through the process due to a variety of reasons, including special purchases, overstock of the same model, high mileage, running or cosmetic condition, or a simple lack of shop availability. We sell these vehicles "as-is" from our Outlet location in Merrimack, NH, as well as in our Pembroke, NH location. We call them Opportunity Vehicles, as they are sold at a substantial discount.

    If you are not comfortable buying a vehicle as-is, we have hundreds of bikes in stock at our Pembroke location that are fully serviced and come with a warranty. Click HERE to view our Premium Inventory.

    Yeah I know what "opportunity vehicle" means; see my OP.

    Most everything you can buy is "buyer beware" to a certain extent. I'm looking at a 2017 F3S Daytona with 1900 miles. It's listed on their website *and* has been listed on eBay at least 6 times that I count and it hasn't yet met the reserve price; highest bid I ever saw was 10K. I'm really looking for feedback as to whether anyone has ever purchased from them and how the experience was. Otherwise, iMotorsports has several leftover 2018's with BRP's current rebate promotion. But no Daytona.

    Very odd that the fenders are missing.

    I've seen many pictures on FB of tricked out bikes without the fenders and bigger wheels. If it happens I will most likely put the low-brow fenders on it.
