New from New Jersey
Hey everyone I’m brand new to motorcycles let alone Chinese motorcycles. Don’t know what happened but I’ve suddenly been hooked on motorcycles and am looking to get my motorcycle endorsement and purchase my first bike (hopefully). I’ve been looking at the boomcat 125 and would love some feedback and tips on purchasing/registering the bike, like where to get it and how to get it registered.

Welcome aboard! :hi: They are addictive. before you know it you will own 2 or 3. ;)

Thanks!! They do look like fun. I just think the boomcat is so simple and clean looking. I contacted kronik racing because I was told they are very knowledgeable in boom/baodiao bikes so maybe the can help me figure out with they are able to be registered in New Jersey. I also have another thread up in the registration section to try to get more info as well. Hopefully I’ll be cruising on a boomcat in the near future!

Update: Pete from Kronik Racing got back to me and said the boomcat (it’s called the boom retro on the kronik racing website, I guess the names are interchangeable) can be registered in all 50 states. That sounds like great news to me but I don’t want to just take his word for it, so I’ll keep researching. I’m just afraid of forking out so much money for a bike and not being able to do anything with it

That’s a good idea. I think I’ll go and do that and see what they tell me.

Hey Matt in a NJ rider as well. Just getting into China bikes, i ordered a TBR7 from Q9 and it should be here in a week or two. What sucks for us is our governor is keeping the DMVs closed so we are not gunna be able to register our bikes or apply for our moto permit. The process is easy but it’s going to be a madhouse when he finally decides to open things again. Right now it’s set to be June 8th but it’s been pushed back like 4 times already so only time will tell.
Edit: NJ is kind of strict, Apollo and Tao are one of the few China brands we can register. No Hawks or bombcats for us :( |
Yeah that doesn’t help with the DMV being closed either. I found a bike that I like that’s made my Dongfang, who is on the list of approved manufacturers for NJ. The specific model is the DF250 RTG. It’s a little more powerful at 250cc but I feel like that would actually be better. I’ve been reading another forum about it and it seems like a good bike. Let’s hope the DMV opens soon and you can enjoy your new bike!
