olds--you probably remember the Xingyue 400 lineup a few years back? Four different models of enduro (2 dirt bikes and 2 'adventure' like models) and yet their engine seemed to have a fatal flaw. Pitster Pro re-branded one of the enduro models, sold a few, and would not honor any type of warranty. I believe member Fastdoc bought one used and was stuck with it once it broke. It was a shame they never seemed to try to fix it!

The closest thing today is the Asiawing MX bike sold by SSR, with the liquid-cooled 450 engine manufactured by Zongshen. Shame no effort was made to bring Asiawing's dual sport model a few years ago, too, when the off-road version arrived. They should have at least sold the full lighting kit for those states that allow off-road bikes to be converted to street-legal?!

Anyway, I think that Shineray could bring their street legal enduro, the X5 bike, over as it falls on the same EPA/DOT certificate as the retro 400. If they don't, that would be a shame!
