Don't think I will be purchasing one anytime soon as I have plenty of bikes to ride.
But what part of I think this is good for kids who are glued to their phone and computer games to have their FIRST THRILL of Riding a Motorcycle did you not understand?
The bikes and industry were getting out of hand and expensive as everyone wanted the fastest bike they could build. In came these bikes and guys bought them up, but they’d break in half, a wheel would
fall off, brakes didn’t work, handlebars fall in your lap, etc and parts weren’t available to fix them.
Instead of upgrading, people just left the sport thinking these bikes weren’t made for them. That mixed with the 08 crash and the end was near.
If it woulda stayed stock/mod and not 178cc double overhead cam and if the China bikes didn’t come in by the container, I think we’d still be around.

Just a gearhead that monkeys around with projects and gets his wife into riding. Not state of the art fabrication, just a guy working in his garage having fun. They have a pretty decent and enthusiastic following. No worries about his "kit" and would likely get roasted, unfortunately, by serious moto-heads.
What with that cool RMATVMC "Five Miles of Hell" project, I kind of wonder of as an industry we aren't doing ourselves a disservice of not promoting the idea of fixing older bikes to just to go have fun with.
The guy did a torture test on this bike even did some "sweet jumps" and launched it into a river Evel Knievel Style!

Received the new engine, same exact engine.................almost ! Looked exactly the same but the mounting bolt holes in the engine case were smaller than the originals, no big deal I just drilled them out problem solved ! Went to mount up the foot pegs/bar to the bottom of the case and the bolt holes didn't line up with the holes in the foot peg bar ! A little bit more modifying !
All back together and around another 6 months later and 9.6hrs..........................transmission goes again !! As I'm waiting for our 3rd engine (still covered under warranty) a friend is over sitting next to the bench the first motor parts are sitting off to the side on. I'm not noticing but he's looking at the transmission parts and says " what Chinese piece of shit are these out of ? " I ask what makes you think their Chinese parts ? He says I can tell by the cheap material and the crappy casting. I laugh because hes right ! and he should know, he's vice president of a shipping container company the deals with the Chinese and the Chinese quality everyday. His company owns just under 2 million containers and when he has more built it usually 5,000 to 8,000 at a time. He has plenty of people under him to do the dirty work but they (Chinese MFG) are constantly trying to get away with things, changing the type of paint, floors, metals.....the list goes on, so he likes to just show up in a production run to make sure their building them to his specifications because if your not on top of them their quality control is bad, very very bad !!
I think these bikes fall under that same "poor quality control" issue.
The 3rd engine mounted up fine............after I drilled out the engine mounting holes !! Bikes for sale !!!
