Jd, can am etc are the same thing made by the same company bombi. Just different paint and body styles. A few guys boughtem up here last year when the jd dealership had a big sale on them.NOT CHEAP? Cheapest bike u can get here. Could pick up a 500cc for 5-6 grand new last year. Real cheap bike and seems to stand up well. Not quite honda quality but a heck of alot cheaper, depends on what u want.
