I recently (March 2013) purchased a 2010 KTM from the dealership. Since I live in the bay area (350mi north) I requested an inspection report from the sales person (Brad) to understand the condition of the motorcycle as I was not able to go down to pickup the bike from Redondo Beach. The inspection report stated the bike was in excellent shape and without any damage.\r
\r
After receiving the motorcycle I saw a big dent in the exhaust system (among other minor dents and scratches). I contacted the sales person and he first justified the condition of the bike saying ""your bike is in as good a shape as you find a off road motorcycle. Have you ever looked at a nicer used dirt bike? I have never found a used dirt bike that looked like a new bike, it just doesn't happen"". After some emailing back and forth he said it must have happened in shipping and that there was no dent when the motorcycle was in their possession and they would not cover any damages. After which I looked at the youtube video of the motorcycle that they had posted. Now that I knew where to look I could tell there was a dent in the exhaust system. This was not noticeable when I first saw the video before purchase. \r

During all my conversations and documentation exchanges with Brad he never once mentioned the dent and misled me into paying for a bike which was not in ""excellent"" shape. Following which he refused to cover the damages. Will recommend all my friends in the LA area against doing business with them.
