i disagree if it does not come with the bike its bnot going to be much extra £10- £40 at most if anything £63 worth of stuff... that speedy logo must be made of gold  No, thats the registration fee, tax and plates which isnt included with TIBS price. |

That's the 125cc model, we were discussing the 50cc models. |

macro you are being a bit daft the N referes to the higher spec machine which boatian agreed to be the sole UK importer of. If you go onto the Boatian factory site you will see it is only the N spec that they list as being imported into the UK. The N spec includes upgraded alloy wheels and front forks and suspension. ABS, remote alarm/start. Alloy foot rests and improved paint finish. Bikes supplied by Boatian UK come out of the box ready to go including tax. Mine even had a small amount of petrol in it. All i had to do was attach the mirrors and top box they even send you a spanner with your paperwork for attaching the mirrors. They proivde a full 12 month warranty and if you can get the machine to them will also include labour in that. Campare that to all the posts which go on about bike wont start from new, bits falling off, stuff leaking supplier gone out of business etc. Pay less get a bike brought from a back street warehouse in china and passed straight on to you without the grate even being opened. Pay a bit more get the official import from the factory, put together and tested in the UK. Given that is it such a small extra price to pay?

such a small price to pay £296 quid is allmost enough to buy two bikes
why would you want any of that junk
front forks and suspension you get with all bikes
unless its a unicycle
You get the spanner and screwdriver will all our bikes
you can get remote start/alarm with alot of the ebay bikes
never heard of bits falling off anyones scooter apart from the rider
and you could get a baotain uk bike that wont start
you can get most ebay sellers to build the bike for 90 quid and do a full check but if you dont even know how to build the bike then you should not have got a baotain and gone for a honda, gillera, yamaha
i'd buy the following with my £296 quid i'd be saving
4-5 gram rollers
Larger main jet
Sport variator
Race cdi
Top quality tires
protective jacket
Sweet helmet
AA membership
massive heavy scooter lock
impact wrench
spanner set
and still have about 90 quid left over

I hate to labour the point, Macro  but your £296 doesn't exist - the figures don't add up. The Baotian UK price includes registration, tax and number plates, the TIBS price does not. Plus the rest that I've repeated earlier. Let's rap this up, already. ;D |

READ MY PREVIOUS POST
£296.00
that is how much cheaper the price *IS* if you buy from ebay
you will still get a fully working 50cc scooter how ever much you want to try and pretend that if you buy off ebay you will get a burt out heap
Reg tax and number plates are about £56 quid all together
tax is 15 reg is about 30 and plates are about 11 quid
so thats £240 more
all that so called extra junk you get from baotain uk is not needed
the items listed will make the bike run better then any of that

i got my 125 off ebay a few months ago
item: 290013607286
it does 65mph with no problems
it is the same as the baotain bt125-7 scooter apart from color
if you was to buy the bt125-7 from baotain uk then it would cost £895
so someone buying from baotain uk would pay at least £140 more then ebay once taxed etc

Thats right spaceprobe, some people cant read 'between the lines' (or dont want to!), and even if people p.m an 'askee' they dont get a responce, so I leave it upto them.
If you read back some of the posts you will see how much I love my dealer, so much so he rings me up to ask me not to keep 'complement'ing him as he finds it embaracing!.
It must say some thing, I only ever tell the truth as happeneed on my purchase, and its no good say 'we fixed it in the end, it should not happen in the first place. It comes into the 'not PDIed, & not opened crate to check & could'nt give a toss'. listing. I was the 1st of 3-4 others willing to buy, the others all had a good belly laugh at my expence and dropped out!
It does say one thing though, the dealers do read these boards, so if they dont act on the comments or cant accept the critisism, they aint for sure going to worry about the odd single customer who's unhappy, with a bike that wont go, or in bits, why? He's got ya money!!! Oh and that customer could be .........YOU! If was for sure was me, and it may of not happened IF i'd known about these boards before I bought, you cant go by eBays feedback.
So its not just a case who's £138 orwhatever cheaper, LOOK OUTSIDE THE BOX as they say!
If any one wants the truth about my dealer P.M me.

Baotain uk can ripp you off as well just because you pay more does not mean you will allways get a better deal
why not get the bike from argos they will give you a better refund deal etc
The price is inflated thats why same as baotain uk

Show me PROOF that Baotian has 'ripped' any one off. You are on very dodgy ground by making claims you cant sustantiate, infact I will go as far as I have yet to see any bad reports on them, perhaps you should show up or shut up!

the proof is the price m8
but if you willing to pay more for support for the same bike you can get for way less for then its up to you

I cant make your argument out, wtf are you talking about 'price'? Ripped off is when you pay for something that you dint get, or doesn't work or your let down by bad service, so thats you blown right out of the water!!!!!!!! At no point have I seen ANY bad write ups on here or eBay about Baotian UK, I wish the f*&%) I'd bought from them, I suggest you go away and grow up and come back when you are adult enough to hold a sensible argument, thats when you KNOW what your talking about, and not leave yourself open to legal action for libel.
