Welcome to the forum.
I have heard many good tales of buying from them and a few tales that were of unhappy customers.
If you live in the Los Angeles area you can at least just drive over and talk to them if you need to.
It is always best to buy frm a local brick and mortar store even if you have to pay a bit more, just because they are local and you can go see them in person. Local word of mouth can make or brake a business so they are more likely to respond to a need or complaint.

Like Doug said, there are numerous tales about them all over the place, good and bad. My take is that Chinese motorcycles are totally different birds than CCS. That engine is the same one Cleveland Cycle Werks uses in its bikes. They've gone over 100,000 miles in tests and the motor held up just fine. Find the best price you can and buy it from whoever. I don't think you'll regret it. Here's the same bike with shipping included from (really) Powersportsmax.com. www.bike2go.com/mcg17-250cc-chopper-street-motorcycle-with-5speed-manual-transmission-electric-start-p-1333.htmlWith shipping it comes in cheaper than Superior.

KZ1000st, This is supposed to be a full size Chopper.. But I keep seeing on other sites calling it a 3/4. I personally contacted another dealer who calims its full size.. Or is it a mini chopper? I am 5'10 I dont wanna hop on it and look like a giant lol what do you guys think or know? is it mini or full Also these are all from Sunny Motors right? www.sunnymotor.com/Also -- I dont really mind 100.00 more if Superior will work with me on any warranty issues... I can potentially bring them another 3-4 sales this summer if they dont screw up on mine soo lol we will see how it goes and I can send someone to their local storefront if need be a buddy of mine is going to cali for a week

Well I am 6'1" and wonder if my 450 Rebel looks small under me.
I would not think it was the same size as something like a Harley Sportster. Look for the measurements in the specs .
Overall Length 82.28in Overall Width 31in Overall Height 41in Seat height 21in
Sportster Seat height: 653 mm (25.7 inches) If adjustable, lowest setting. Overall height: 1,107 mm (43.6 inches) Overall length: 2,179 mm (85.8 inches) Overall width: 820 mm (32.3 inches)
I've been to their store, I do not recall any motorcycles in the show room, really more of the front of a warehouse. Call before you send somebody down to look and make sure they have one there.

From the comparison measurements you gave it seems they are not that far off .. a few inches each measurement not bad I have been on a sportster in the past so the size is familiar to me.. and this bike being a few inches down is not that bad at all...
I have read many many reviews and talked to people including the manufacturer it seems to be a solid little bike for around town / work commutes (in town)
They all state its a full size style... its not something that looks like a toy your riding.. they said only thing that looked a bit off was that its a single 250cc not V-twin 250cc
One guy actually says he uses his to run main highways around 60mph to work (on a different forum)
Everyone seems to love this model
and from what I gathered here and in reading they are solid on the engine's they use too so that's a good sign
I know he has the color I want in his warehouse. They said they are doing full assembly, pdi and repacking it into a Wooden shipping crate to send out...
Time will tell... I am probably going to pay for it right now and see what happens.

It would be best to actually sit on one before you buy it, see how it fits and what you think about it personally. I'm on a Honda Rebel forum and most of them ride 250cc Rebels, they think it is just fine size-wise. I saw one at a Honda dealer and thought Hmmm, pretty small. Not that it is not a good solid bike.

I hope it is all you wished for. I'm not too crazy about that styling myself, I prefer a more traditional cruiser.
Looking at it a bit closer, the rake on the front fork is pretty substantial, given the measurements are so close to that of a stock Sportster, I'm thinking it will actually look smaller than the numbers speak.

idk...
its so hard to tell from the numbers and pics... If I could find a decent pic of it next to an item to compare it too it would be better
Perfect pic would be it beside a bike of similar style

Even if it had a male model on it, you would not know what siize he is and it could be inaccurate.
I really think the fact that it has similar measuremens on a chopped frame it will be more like a 3/4 size. Just a feeling no basis in fact. I live about 174 miles from Superior or I'd go down and look at one. If you can get in touch with a member here "fox" he is a lot closer to them and you could ask him if he would check it out. I do not know if he would actually want to though.
