I'd 100% not buy from there dude.
I have no experience of this particular site and maybe I do them a disservice, but:
1) You're unlikely to get any useful warranty for stuff not sold through an authorised dealer, and;
2) Google "Indonesian Bike Scam" and see how many people have had good experiences vs. lost their cash.
I also never trust websites where I can't readily see what payment methods they accept until after you've started the checkout process and given them your details. In this case they only accept bank transfer so absolutely no protection whatsoever, and also bear in mind that unless the savings are massive you'll lose most of the difference paying VAT and import duties (and courier fees for paying those on your behalf) when it comes into the UK.

I've bought lots of stuff from outside the UK/EU and only had good experiences, but am careful about it and this looks kinda sketchy to me Wink

Ooops I missed the NO part but thought it might be obvious from my sarcastic reply.

Leave well alone :-)

No worries dude. Safest way to approach interweb shopping is to assume everyone is less trustworthy than Michael Gove until they've proved otherwise Wink

If it’s got MG’s seal of approval, it’s gotta be a risk!
