stay away if shipping. They have a bad habit of sending a klde. If you actually go in and pick your motor then its ok. I went in and picked mine and they dropped it off at my house free of charge.

You could always try PakfeiferCanada.

$1000CDN before shipping. You would have to find out how much shipping is.

Osaka has very, very poor customer service.

Why don't you contact Bastian, his username on this forum is Black Magic. He ships loads of KLZE engines to europe. I am sure he will supply you an engine cheaper then those companies can.

Edit: actually I am suprised at how cheap some of those companies can get an engine in spain (didn't see the prices included shipping), but contacting bastian might still be a good idea.

For me, I'd choose the closest one to me so that if there ever was a snag or a hitch, I don't have to try and get compensation half a continent away, FWIW. As far as Tiger Japanese is concerned, I'd do business again with them. Why, because I wouldn't let them pull any bulls*%t on me and I'd make sure I was well informed as to what I'm purchasing. On the other hand, I don't think I'd even spend two seconds in pleasant conversation with them either. Just because I have absolutely no time for those people personally, and don't quite like the way they conduct business, I'll set the tone and level of the interaction and won't let them run roughshot over me. I'm not going to let that get in the way of me acquiring something I need/want at an affordable price at a conveniant location. I won't let attitudes and personal resentments get in the way of a business transaction. Do they have good products?....... you bet. Are they competitively priced? ..... sure are. That's all I need to know.

unfortunately all the distributors are very far from my, so that any election is dangerous. I have investigated in this forum and others about each one of them and have some have given good results, but I like of knowing to me as choose you, by the knowledge or experiences that you have of some of them
