Stay away from this "company". I had the same question so I called Yamaha. They would not confirm nor deny that they were an approved Yamaha dealer. But the guy did say that Yamaha would not honor any warranty work on a motor bought from them and the motors would not comply with EPA requirements.

Lol, joking of course but could you imagine that shipment process coming from the 9th floor down to the UPS/FedEx, etc. trucks.:eagerness:.....Not to mention storage room and weight concerns for the 8th floor on down.:cower: :D

I don't want to get scammed.
.

then quit trying to buy stuff on the internet that you are supposed to put your eyes and hands on prior to handing over your good hard-earned cash for.

Just do a quick google maps search of the address listed for this "dealer." It is a sketchy looking back ally, with little shops. Definitely not a "dealer." Plus, the pain of getting that motor through customs and everything would be a nightmare! The fact that they offer free international shipping is a huge red flag. If it sounds too good to be true....it probably is.
