I called them and spoke to a guy whose name I did not get. We talked about the bike(s) (he mentioned the sportbike) and explained that Braap is wanting to expand. I get the feeling that some (maybe a bunch) of their bikes will possibly end up here. He did say that Braap is an Australian company that manufactures in China, as opposed to a Chinese company sold via Braap; my guess is this might be somewhat true, and they will be part of the movement of having quality bikes available from China here in the US. He is supposed to email me information.

Edit--I forgot to mention; the guy I spoke with mentioned that supposedly 27 states are adopting CARB standards, meaning many bikes won't be '49-state' EPA/DOT certified. I am thinking there might be truth to that considering a few states are already giving a hard time to some 49-state EPA/DOT certified bikes, according to members here trying to register their bikes.
