I find that many bike manufacturers do not have the best websites, many do not offer online sales.They usually depend on their vendors' sites to offer ease and content. As a matter of fact, some manufacturers do not even accept tech questions via phone/email, they reply to contact a dealer. I am more concerned with the quality/price of a bike rather than their website. It also depends on where the head office is located. In this respect the USA is quite lucky in that even if the head office is in Japan,China,Taiwan or even Europe, the USA many times has a well set up distributor and even their own offices. While most other countries have a third party distributor who does not put much effort into marketing.
