If you do some searching around the net you'll find loads of horror stories about the terrible quality of Lifan and other Chinese imports. I'd exercise extreme caution about buying a bike that's as cheap as these. They are cheap for a reason. And it isn't all labor costs.

Don't blame China.

I'm so sick of China and their unfair trade. They dump their crap on the US (and we lick it up) and meanwhile add a 30% duty to any imported products. They're f'ing us, and we're bending over and taking it.

Blame our own govt trade "negotiators". If someone offered me the sort of deals the US does I'd jump at 'em.

I say, place the same restrictions on China, Japan. etc. that they do on us. All Japanese cars have to be dismantled and safety inspected before being sold. Korean vehicles have to be assembled here. France pays 50% tariff on wines.... etc etc.

You can...

I used to have a sundiro roadrunner.. Honda's Chinese market rebel 125. It was rather poorly made and wasn't really worth it..

that extreme scooters guy (yes dave.. im talking to you) is a real deadbeat too..

i spent $470 on parts for my chinese wonder scoot and they never showed up.. once i started asking for my money back he stopped responding to me..

you get what you pay for (and in my case not even that)..

...go to the Post Office and make a mail fraud complaint if he's using the mails. And if he's operating over State lines you can make a complaint to the FBI. Too many of these clowns get away with major larceny because everyone goes, "Oh well."

Anything is possible...

Rode it for years on the back streets up around our cabin, no its not something to put on the high way but i work at one end of a two lane rode and live about 25 miles the other way... I don't know, anything i can do to get on two wheels is a good thing, we recently ran into a financial brick wall and, well, lets just say i won't be buying anything more than a grand or so for a while.

Stupid question, is it possible to put a CR125 engine into in a CL100 frame?

... with an acetylene rig and enough JB Weld.
