American Lifan, as 'boring' as their first wave of product is (except for their 150cc mini--that will be a heavy hitter in the 'Grom-like motorcycle class') are trying to be what they first intended to be back in the mid to later 2000's; China's version of Honda. I think they lost their way under their leadership they had, but the new guy who runs the place is supposed to be serious with the products--hence the conservative (and seemingly boring) roll-out. From the videos of the bikes online, their first EPA/DOT certified bikes, their intended flagships, the KPR200 and KP200, look pretty good and solid. In other words, perhaps something to consider for a brick and mortar dealership as one of the brands as I am venturing that there won't be as many problems as say, the Sacramento guy, would have with Taotao or Coolster. I mention this because either my 'old' mind wants to think in terms of conservative and stable and thinks others will be interested as well, or I am getting senile
