My vote is locally this still bearing the fact I bought an Sr locally(from a shop) and got reamed hardcore.... Well it was my first time ever buying a motor and learned a good deal from it. Although two friends of mine ordered motors online and had good luck as well. One was Osaka(heard bad things too) and the other was some place in Canada. In any case you have your good and your bad no matter where you go. It'd be cool if everyone let you take the time to tear down the motor and inspect everything before buying it.
