I don't, but I could be wrong. Also, it might be KPX money, but I guarantee it will hold its value far better than a Lifan, at least in this market. I am not being mean, just stating what I think is true. If I am wrong, so be it.
Yeah I'm one of those guys that brought back a 30 year old honda XL185..

majority of rubber and plastics were trash...

Guess what it was a rusty POS that would more than likely pass as scrap, The only thing that brought it back was "Chinesium" Parts...

at $3000 holding resale value is a moot point as the market below that is full of new China bikes...So the XL150 used will need to be priced under that...
