I’m planning to buy a DS, but I can’t complete my profile because some information is missing, which is a shame.
Do you plan to update the information on this brand?

We’re trying to get the information from the manufacturer so we can complete our listings. It’s true that we’ve fallen behind on Zero Motorcycles.
That said, Liberty Rider hasn’t synced data with us for two years (which is a real shame), so even if we were up to date, I doubt you would have been able to configure your DS.
