What you are not seeing is that one seller is willing to make a lot less profit.

superiorpowersports probably gets a better deal by ordering more and/or use a different supplier.
i doubt scooterdepot's profit margin is an extra $649... nice post though, thx 4 the info. i hope to purchase a 250 within the next 6 months.

Stay away from Superior. Just my opinion. Iwould have gladly spent the extra 600 than deal with them the last 3 months.  |

I actually had a pleasant experience with SPS when purchasing my 150cc scooter in 2011.
Sorry to learn of reports that their customer service has dropped off.
The point of my thread was to determine if there was some design improvement to the S/Depot 250cc being offered over the SPS one - thus justifying the higher price tag.

I've done 3 purchases with superior, and they're the best!
Many say to 'stay away' from them, but haven't bought anything from them.
Superior was willing to send me a battery, but wasn't sending me missing body panel screws!
Aside from that, they offer quite a good PDI, and their bikes have as much of a fail rate as any other chinese seller. If you hit with a lemon, it's often not the sellers fault, but the manufacturers fault. Superior's been quite good to me, and the $600 difference is kind of all across the board. Many bikes are sold at least $200-300 cheaper, and Superior sometimes does deals. They can do better deals because they buy large containers instead of individual shipments.
If they buy a scoot, costs them $650, buy 10+ for $450, buy 100+ costs them $350. They buy 100, while others buy 30 or so; and pass on the profits
