Default Has anyone BOUGHT from RumbleOn??

I have seen a few threads where people have sold, or been offered a sale through RumbleOn. But none that I have seen where someone has actually bought a bike from them. I have a bike on "hold" right now from them and am wondering if anyone has a review from the purchasing side. Every review that I have seen is from a sellers standpoint.

They don't actually SELL bikes. The entire company is actually owned by Prince Shiekie Wiekie, The good Sultan of Siam's nephew.
Shiekie loves motorcycles but doesn't like to drive very far, thus he buys up bikes cheap and stores them in several places around the USA, so when he flies in there, he
always has a ride of some kind, to go to his important political meetings or bar hopping with his cousin, Ban Wan Indi Wiggi.

Of course, I am just kidding. Can't buy from them here. Not permitted, as we're in (GASP!) Canada...

It sounds like they are using the Carmax model...which is to say not bad people to sell to, but not a good place to buy.

I hear you. The bike I am looking at would still be under warranty tho. That would be a plus.

I checked a couple, and prices were below NADA...for the most part better prices than ebay...

They even have free shipping to the 48...but you have to create an account to see the fine print on that

My buddy just bought an Ultra from Rumbleon this summer. He feels he got a good price on a nice bike, but getting it shipped was quite a situation. I was out of town, but from what I remember it took about 6-8 weeks to get it shipped, and I think my buddy actually contacted a shipper to pick it up in Vegas on his own nickel? Anyway, the bike was what he expected at a good price, took long to get delivered.

Thanks for the review. They say about 2-3 weeks, but I can imagine they run into issues. Regardless, I like hearing that he's happy with the bike.

Yes, it’s not top dollar but it is usually decent for the market and very quick/painless.

with Carmax I bought a new Jeep from a dealer in 2013 for $22,000...sold it to Carmax November of ‘17 with 30,000 miles on it for $23,000....thank you Carmax!!

What I’ve heard since is they’ve gotten in trouble for not doing any required service or recalls on vehicles in inventory and then selling to unsuspecting buyers. Guess that’s how they make their margins up. Not saying Rumbleon does this, but I’d certainly be happier buying a bike from them that still has a factory warranty like the OP is. Could be a nice deal.

I found a couple that I was interested in following up on, so I created an account and STILL couldn't see the fine print. I was really interested to learn more and just couldn't find the details. Unless they change their website and registration process, I wouldn't buy anything. No way to know what you're getting as it is now.
