Just got a reply on FB regarding the 400; the rep stated they will be available "next year." If Amstar are related to Zongshen, as seemingly indicated in some of their specs on their site (i.e. 'zs49') it would make sense since these would be a 'cousin' to the CSC bikes. Unless these bikes' engines were mfg. by Loncin, not Zongshen. I don't think Lifan OEM large engines for other manufacturers, but I have seen a few small bikes, I believe off-road only, on the EPA/DOT certification spreadsheet listing Lifan as OEM. CCW are the only big bikes who I have seen list Lifan as their OEM recently. Anyway, they would need to price these much lower than CSC's new larger engine bikes to convince people to buy them. I would go as far as the same price as the 250 RX3. It would be interesting to have a low-cost alternative to the more established CSC bikes with a 400cc, kind of like the Xingyue 400 bikes we had years ago which were 'cheap' but turned out to have a fatal engine flaw.
