Most Recent Complaints
I just got home from the scariest ride on my bike ever! I pulled off the freeway (thank god!)and was driving along a busy street when my bike started bucking like a bronco. I was almost thrown off. I was trying to downshift & up shift and whatever I could to gain control. The front brake was locked up. I am so lucky that someone didn’t slam into the back of me and I was also lucky I wasn’t on the freeway. This bike has a close recall on it but I don’t believe it was actually fixed or if it was fixed, if this is going to keep happening. I was lucky to make it home alive! There should definitely be an additional recall because this bike is a death trap!
