When you think powersports, you think motorcycles. Everybody seems to define power sports differently. Some even include go-karts in their list of powersport vehicles, while purists limit it to motorbikes. Google power sports distributor and you’re likely to find that most of them are motorcycle dealers, so for purposes of this review, we’ll stick with the bikes.
It was no surprise when we learned that the brands were all fighting for top spot on the search engines. We found Honda and Yamaha at the top of the pile, followed closely by Suzuki.
That was all fine, but since we are novices, we wanted to find an outlet that sold several brands. That’s because we wanted to get more or less objective reviews of the many brands of motorcycles there are on the market. We weren’t going to get one from a brand name, but we might from a company who distributed several.
We weren’t even dreaming of getting all our answers from the one source, but we though we could at least get an overview of many that the first time powersports motorcycle buyer might want to consider purchasing. As it turns out, there were very few of these to choose from and those that did have many brands to look at were targeting an already power sports savvy market.
Since we are not an affiliate marketer and don’t want to sound like one, we’re going to leave out the url and name of the only power sports distributor that we found that came close to meeting our criteria. We only do that if we have several for our readers to choose from.
Figuring that novices would be starting out with a 250cc motorbike, we looked for those first. This site had quite a few to choose from. There were three for under three thousand bucks. The cheapest of these was a Honda Rebel for alittle less than $2500 Next up the price scale was a Hyosung and a Suzuki. The site didn’t have an engine size category and to our mind, that was a big drawback.
Considering that this was the only distribution company we could find that sold a wide range of motorcycles, it was amazing how poorly put together it was. Even their price range category list was limited. We had seen these inexpensive 250cc bikes on page one of their website, but when we wanted to compare them to other bikes in the same price range, the closest we could find was “under $10,000.” That’s a big spread!
They sold used motorcycles at this site. This was a big plus, but that too was a disappointment, because they didn’t give you any real guidelines to go on other than year of manufacture. After that you could narrow it down some more, but not enough to do a decent comparison unless you already knew what you were looking for.
Frankly, our search for a power sports distributor was disappointing. You would think that the competition for such relatively big ticket items as powersports motorcycles would be fierce, but you wouldn’t know it from what we saw. A good site that gave solid information to first time buyers could corner the market. We’ll help you design it if you give us a free powersports motorbike in exchange!
