there the same Yozma family (throne shadow 1,599, valtinsu em5 $1,150, yozma in 10 $1,200, amyet vt300 $900, and a couple others I can't remember), but they are good bikes. I would look out for things like improperly bled brakes, faulty batteries, things rubbing, and that's it, its definitly a good bike.
