If a Honda= rice burner, then what is a Ducati?

I'm digging the bobber version.  At that price though, it seems like one of those 3/4 scale bikes like the Kikker 5150. 
I've went down that chinese ATV road before only to find that getting parts or service is next to impossible.  Forget it.

Who makes the engine?

Looks like Lifan makes it.  But then again, the Chinese are known to make copies of copies of copies...

They are so cheap, you just buy a second one and keep it for parts... Cheesy

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I wouldn't want to start any type of manufacturing business in the states. Most people don't want to work hard enough for level of pay that would make it profitable.

If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

I think that mentality has changed based on the reality on the ground.  The effects of outsourcing is horrible horrible in the long run for society here.  There is a huge adjustment in the standard of living going on in the world.  Equilibrium has shifted and as a result ppl here are getting shafted.

OMG!  Every aspect!  Looks like a kids toy.  Speedo looks fake (it's that bad), All switches/controls absolutely cheapest of the cheap!  Basically the finnish looks nothing like the pics.  Forget this guys, better off buying a Rebel and bobbing it!

Bobbing rebels are easy as hell, too. Get the parts at bluecollarbobbers.com and even a novice can bolt one together.
